Just a quick word about the batty lineman on the east side...seemed to give Utd a throw in when March cleared and it clipped a Utd player..led to their penalty

At 5 o’clock today we’ll either be condemning Kevin Friend or appluading him. His decisions are often controversial.
We’ve got a good record with Kevin Friend reffing is at home this season, beat Manchester United, beat West Ham, and beat Crystal Palace.

Predictable, he never has a quiet game. Lino’s too.
There's "big team" performances by refs, then there's what we saw today.

In his Radio Sussex interview just then, CH was (in his own way) clearly critical of the officials.

Warnock-like spitting bitterness.
Classy as ever.

And the Liverpool players knew it. I mean, Firmino going down holding his face[emoji30]

The officials caused it all. Both sets of players were fine.
Friend set the tone from the off with dictatorial mini lectures to Dunk etc after they committed regulation fouls. Far more than being a communicator, more The Great Dictator.

How is it some other referees don’t get noticed?
I know we’ve done well with Friend before, but other fan bases already couldn’t stand his refereeing.
It’s bizarre...he’s always been reasonable as far as I’ve seen. He was shockingly bad today.

Oh wise one
I knew that he was despised by loads of other clubs fans already, a The Complete And Utter Shyster figure. It was only a matter of time before we joined the extensive set.

Every winning team tries it - refs and 4th officials rarely add extra time on.

It was one of those games where the ref and linos got caught up in the momentum of the game. Liverpool had a lot of possession and therefore every 50:50 marginal decaision seemed to go their way. However I don’t think it was the worst performance I’ve ever seen, far from it and he did get the only major decision correct. I’d like to see the Locadia offside decision again though, great pass by March by the way.

Always the way. I don't agree with it and would like to see the back of it, but it's helped us in the past.
Incredibly frustrating when on the receiving end of it, calms a few nerves when we're the perpetrators.
Yes, in answer to your question. Around a minute.
