Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

Another suspicious officiating today. Wtf was that? 2 red cards neglected (Felaini&Rooney). Drinky's 2nd yellow should also have been a pen but the ref again was inadequate. Time is running out for them though. We are the champions because we are the best team since April 2015. This is it.

Why do so many people think that was a penalty? That was such an infuriating call, Depay went down so easily, especially when you consider how physically strong Depay is and that he probably could have created a goal if he didn't throw himself down there.

I agree on Rooney though, Oliver let him get away with murder today. The foul that Rooney finally got booked for was like his 4th yellow card offense.

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

Eh, extending your arms and pulling a player back from behind when they're about to counter or create a chance is called and yellow carded pretty much every single time these days. The contact does sort of start outside the area (by Memphis feeling out where Drinkwater is at). But Drinkwater's part in it absolutely starts with him grabbing at Memphis while he's on the line. If it's a foul (which it is) it should be a penalty. You're pretty much the only person I've seen who is blaming Memphis for going down.

Michael Oliver is quickly becoming my least favorite referee in the league. Some of his decisions are just mind-boggling. He's only 31, so we have the pleasure of many years of his crap ahead of us.

And I wish all of these refs would realize what Fellaini's doing out there because he gets away with flying elbows and general ****ery way too much.

If you watch it again though, he doesn't actually pull him, he basically just touches him. There is just no way that was enough contact to significantly impact anything Depay was doing.

The Rojo foul on Mahrez was 10x more of a penalty and didn't get called.

I agree on the Rojo foul. Oliver was watching another match I swear. And let's not absolve the linesmen, who should be catching blatant offenses if the ref happens to be looking away.

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

It looked a bit like Mahrez jumped into Rojo so I can see where Oliver was coming from. It was a penalty though.

I can also see why Felliani swung because Huth grabbed and pulled his hair. Both should be punished imo.

Burnley have been promoted.

Burnley have been promoted.

I saw that headline then saw the table and wondered how this could be since they're only 2 up. Then it hit me. Middlesbrough and Brighton & Hove Albion play each other this weekend in the final match to determine the other auto promotion!

I'll be tuning in to that. Will it be on BeIn?

You're gonna miss him when he's gone.

Actually thought we had a chance coming into this game but we haven't showed any desire. Now I remember why I want this season to end.

Also the linesman was looking straight at Dembele poking Costa in the eye and did nothing. Absolutely shocking. Walker and Rose could have gotten two yellows as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Spurs can possibly blow this match.

Crap, Chelsea playing like hot garbage today. And Leicester City is forced to go another week before being able to possibly clinch.

Not so fast. We are in the early stages of LOLSPURS at the moment.
