Whilst I think Tartowski should have got a red, most of the Sky/ BBC people complaining about it was moaning Lewis-Skelly got a red for a similar challenge were he got none of the ball.

Just spotted that German 3rd division side Armina Bielefeld reached the DFB Pokal final having knocked out Bayer Leverkusen last night.

El Classico Copa del Rey again after both Real and Barca won their ties 5-4 on aggregate.

What's the betting that if that Liverpool goal was Villa's it gets chalked off for offside.

We had a similar one at Wolves ruled out for offside earlier this season, except the Wolves player didn't even make contact with the ball in that case

The one against wolves was given on the pitch by the Lino because Rogers blocked the defender when standing in an offside position. Diaz didn't touch the Everton player. After the Mings Citeh goal, I thought being right next to the defender when offside meaning he has to play it was also offside but they seemed to have walked that back.

So certain, that Goldie would have had a bet on it.

Joe Hart explained it well last night and it's one of those 'law is an ass' things, as much as Tarkowski is a big dirty carthorse he's not reacting like that if the Liverpool player isn't breathing down his neck in an offside position.

For me, much like the handball/penalty situations they've lost focus on why the law exists and why changes have been made in the past. 'Not interfering with play' was supposed to stop you having a 25 yard rocket ruled out because a teammate on the far side of the pitch was half a yard off, not this sort of thing.

***Disclaimer*** Not about victims of the Hillsborough tragedy ***

But fuck me don't they whine about being the victims of poor refereering decisions.

Yes Jug ears should of seen red but it made the national news ffs - its like no one else is ever wronged.

If they wanted to see piss poor Ref / VAR decisions then look no further than the Ramsay penalty debacle - not even mentioned. And i agree anyone else score that at Anfield it would of been checked, checked and checked again until ruled eventually offside.

But surely 90% of what you are complaining about is simply the news being Liverpool / Big 6 biased rather then blaming the club /fans?
