Actually, looking at it again Murphy does kind of throw himself into it. Maybe he sells it too hard.
No matter what way your look at it, it's a penalty all day long. My biased City eyes were screaming for it at the time, and I'm only more pissed now, seeing that. 0-0, and then they go down the other end and score... Game changing.Quote:

Blatant, blatant penalty. Watford may have had a player sent off in the first half also, but yellow was probably right decision. Defalou was allowed to time-waste after each of this three goals and when being subbed without any consequence. It was a poor performance by the ref.
No doubt he'll have one game in the championship and then be back in the premier league the week after. No matter what he does in that championship game.
I thought we were already 1-0 down when the penalty controversy occured shortly before half-time?Quote:

Happened right in front of me. As blatant a penalty as you will ever see. The referee proved in that one instance that he is not fit to referee.
Klopp just got fined for stating the referee knew Liverpool’s goal v Wham was really offside and for suggesting the ref then spent the remainder of the game looking for opportunities to even things up.
I was so upset I dropped my remote control on the floor.Quote:

How the hell you see so much from the comfort of your own armchair is a mystery anyway.Quote:

Klopp is regularly pulled up on his post-match comments about a referees performance. Benitez was accusing the ref of costing them the game against Wolves recently (which isn't a new thing for him). Hughes was always complaining about refs too....Quote:

He's part of a fairly large group of managers who are bad for it. Not far and away the most extreme, that's very hyperbolic.Quote:

My favourite was when Souness was in charge at Newcastle and only spoke about a denied penalty when they were 3 down in a 4-1 defeat.Quote:

Just four things

3 just maybe if the pen was given and we scored coming for the second half could have made a big difference, but we will never know!
4 Morrison should not have started
Let’s be fair , I doubt there’s one manager who wouldn’t have been fuming over that incident last night ! I simply do not know what Hooper thought he saw that meant it wasn’t a penalty? Ball doesn’t change direction, player clearly takes Murphy out .....baffled !
You know you will see one given today that is less a penalty than that one :furious:
He was also about 5 yards away and seemed generally quite whistle-happy prior to that. Hard to explain what went through his mind.Quote:

Can you imagine the reaction of messrs Scoular Burrows and May if they had been around in this era????Quote:

Probably the same as if it had been given to the opposition.Quote:

He had already bottled the red card.Quote:

Obviously nowhere near up to it.
It wasn't his first Premier League game.Quote:

Would love him to explain how this was a penalty

Yes i cant believe warnock was not screaming at the 4th official asking for Huddersfield to have a penalty against his side.Quote:

Warnock had every right to be aggrieved but as per usual he goes massively over the top to deflect from his and his own teams failings.
He reckoned he’s never seen a set a players so incensed at half time at the injustice. Pull the other one, it’s not the first really bad call he would have had in 100 years of management.
I said to the guy next to me”any top 8 side would have been awarded that penalty”.Quote:
