Southampton looked like they almost refused to play on after that decision.

It's a call that can go either way IMO, but what else can Mee really do there?

End of the day, if that hit a Southampton player and ended up being a goal, it would be disallowed without question.

The different rules for attack and defence is absolutely the worst thing about this new handball rule. That has to be altered.

Yup, if there was consistency between attack and defence it'd be something. The fact that a goal would be instantly disallowed if it touched an offensive arm, no matter how inconsequentially, whereas with a defender they're mumbling on about whether he made his silhouette bigger or how far away he was when it was struck or any number of other variables, is outrageous.

It's just such a binary choice if you're going one way but utterly vague if you're going the other. It's maddening.

Amazing how often teams have done that against Liverpool this season.

Such an easy chance and yet the guy forgot he was a footballer for five seconds.

Think it would have been offside anyway, but it's like Alison has some device in his gloves that he clicks when attackers are about to shoot and their brains shut down.

Sky using ex Liverpool players to commentate on Liverpool games is utter fuckin dog shit. Put it on mute I cant listen to anymore biased drivel.

I thought Carragher ejaculated earlier in one build up from Liverpool. Wasn’t anything particularly special either. Just plain fucking weird to be honest

Was in first half, ball Firmino brought down and cut back inside. Lost the ball but Carragher went 'uurrgghhh'.

If that was Norwich VAR would have ruled it out. Mane is such a fucking cheat.

Absolute no chance of a Liverpool goal getting ruled out. It just doesn’t happen in this league.

How the fuck are Norwich at the bottom of the league/ I am not only basing it off today's performance. Every time I see them play, including against us, they are much better than other teams ahead of them.
