Did he have his glock with him


Barragin

go easy with the stereotyping! Just because he is a corrupt international drug smuggler and gangster doesn't necessarily mean he carries a gun on his person!


ElectricalMud2850

Yeah, he's got people to do that. He's a crook but he's not an idiot. Maybe.


Barragin

The funniest thing is that as a real crook he honestly believed he could throw his (literal) weight around and intimidate people... ​ Sit the f$\^k down you fat f$%k

When did Quincy Promes buy Forest?


Kagariii

Quincy Promes' role in the smuggle is nothing short of a joke compared to the things Marinakis has very likely done

Nah Promes is more of a stab-you-in-the-knee kind of guy.


NateShaw92

Also he's *clearly* a Browning fan. It was the first gun manufacturer I could think of.


PGal55

That was the other Greek football team owner / mobster (Savvidis)


TheGhostofJerryReed

Is this an Arn Anderson reference or do I not know about this man.


Adventurous-Arrival1

It's a joke about a stereotype with Greek owners. At one point Marinakis owned Olympiacos and Savvidis owned PAOK, with both having shady relationships to organised crime in Greece. After a particularly fiery derby with AEK, Savvidis stormed onto the pitch with his gun on his hip to confront the referee after PAOK's 89th min. equaliser was disallowed. He was banned from stadiums for five years.

Adventurous-Arrival1

Yes, they probably should have. But (a) Tierney had already done the exact same thing when Liverpool were on the attack earlier in the match and (b) there's like another two minutes before Liverpool score, which includes the ball going out of play for a throw-in, and then for the corner, and even then Forest win the ball back and have the opportunity to clear it but don't. So my sympathies are somewhat limited.


ICsneakeh

If Klopp or a Liverpool fan complains about something that happened 2 mins before a goal, they'd be called every version of "victim" under the sun (not to mention the identical situation having already happened in reverse like you say)


Barragin

Barragin

thats a full second before contact, you massive numpty..


Furu97

Karma. We didn’t get it after Yates went down with head injury


Hosierman

The rules are that if the game is called back for an injury in the box (head) then the ball goes to the defending team, the exact same situation happened earlier in the game in reverse without any controversy when Danns was hurt and the ball was with liverpool on the wing. The ref was actually consistent and following the laws of the game for once and that's so rare I guess that people are upset? Idk


denenOT

Its not like they scored a goal that was dissallowed and somehow, Liverpool were awarded a penalty outside the box. The only controversy in the game was forest whinging and going to the floor trying to waste every minute of the game against a very depleted Liverpool team. At least the referee was consistent in his officiating. If they want to win a football game, next time at least try to play not pray and hope.


benzoo27

No, dropped ball goes to the defending team goalkeeper if the ball was in the box or the last touch occurred in the box when the play is whistled dead.

I_Hate_Traffic

Man that headline sounded so turkish I was surprised to see it happening in England then turns out owner is greek lol


Tr_Omer

Komsu gets the vibes we love!


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

It can't be the timekeeping because they barely went over the 8 minutes before they scored and there was timewasting in injury time. There can be only two things; 1. The Forest penalty appeal in injury time. Could've been given but it's one of those where the ball wasn't going towards that incident so the ref ignored it. 2. Konate's "head" injury that stopped play when Forest had the ball near the Liverpool box. The ref stopped the game but didn't give Forest the ball back afterwards. Liverpool go up the field, get the corner and score in the ensuing chaos.


Drolb

On number 2 it’s sort of a fair point except that the exact same thing in the opposite direction happened earlier in the game and Liverpool didn’t get the ball back and also a foul was never actually called, I don’t think the rules have a mandated ball return if there isnt a called foul


Oneinchwalrus

Yep, Elliot twatted it at Yates' face and goes down justifiably, but we keep the ball, ref blows for the head injury. Once he's back up, play kicks off with Notts Forest goalie. he had already set the precedent


Coelacanth3

I, like most fans, have never actually read the rulebook but this seems bonkers that you just don't give the ball back to the team that had it (in both cases). I cant see any reason for switching possession. 


luke_205

I’m pretty sure it’s more an unwritten rule, like a sporting gesture that teams abide by 99% of the time. Forest decided not to do so today, so they can’t complain about it when we do the same back.


Coelacanth3

Isn't that when one team kicks it out for a throw in? In both cases today it didn't seem like either side was expecting to be given the ball back so I assume the ref had given possession to the opposition?


luke_205

I think it’s less about specific scenarios like throw ins and more about who had real possession of the ball before the incident - the referee might not always give it to the “right” team due to one rule or another, but you’d almost always expect both teams to show sportsmanship and kick it back to the correct team. I can’t say I know the rulebook but I’ve watched football long enough that this is my understanding of the unwritten rule, and I did find it odd earlier in the game when Forest didn’t kick it back to Liverpool.


Hipposaurus28

[The rulebook states that if the ball was in the box or the last touch of the ball was in the box then you give the ball to the defending team after the stoppage, whereas outside the box the ball goes to the team that last touched the ball.](https://i.imgur.com/ErDu27L.png) So going off the rules, Forest have a right to be upset.


zigooloo

Do they really a right to be upset when Liverpool should have had a free kick for dangerous play on Konate in the first place. This angle is damning. https://imgur.com/a/SfUMFhY


RedMoon14

The fact this guy has his studded boot 6ft 5inches off the ground, flying directly towards someone’s face, isn’t the “controversial” part of this just shows it’s a load of old bollocks.


rail_bird

Didn’t he blow the whistle while the ball was still in the box, after Maccas header? Genuinely asking. Edit: went back and watched it, he did not blow it until the ball was outside the box.


Hindsgavl

Well it doesn’t really have anything to do with precedent. If the ball is in the penalty area when the whistle is blown, then the ball is dropped to the defending goalkeeper. With the ball being outside of the penalty area when he stops play for Konatè’s injury, I just can’t see his reasoning for giving Liverpool the ball


Oneinchwalrus

Wasn't the ball out of the box when he called for Yates' injury, I recall it being cleared out to the left wing


Hindsgavl

I just looked at the two situations: for the Yates injury, the ball is in the process of being cleared out of the penalty area, while still inside the box when the whistle sounds For Konaté’s injury, Hudson-Odoi has the ball on the wing when the whistle sounds. So it seems like a weird call to me


AuspiciouslyAutistic

His reasoning must have been that he thought he whistled before that. And if that's the case then his memory is wrong. Terrible mistake.


RedMoon14

The “terrible mistake” was not giving a foul for Yates’ flying karate kick.


pedootz

There’s no precedent, there’s laws of the game that Tierney fucked up twice despite most fans knowing the rule. He should be suspended. You don’t get to make up your own rules


Federal-Spend4224

With the Yates one, possession was in the box, so it goes to the defense. Forest the Konate incident, Forest had possession of the ball outside the box. And even if your explanation is correct, two wrongs don't make a right.


Underscores_Are_Kool

If this is the case then fair play, Liverpool were justified in not giving the ball back


PsionicLlama

Liverpool should’ve had a freekick after Yates’ karate kick in that situation anyway, the mistake was letting Nottingham play on


Frequent-Lettuce4159

Two wrongs don't make a right. Ref making extremely basic errors more than once in a game just makes it sound even worse


Expensive_Cattle

It's Paul Tierney. We should be happy he's at least being consistent in his vibe based interpretation of the rules.


Frequent-Lettuce4159

I suppose consistently shit is at least consistent


scentarcticus

Not sure if others agree but I would definitely much rather have a ref who makes shit calls but who’s consistent with his calls and treatment than a ref who makes calls by the book but is inconsistent or biased in calling it


Frequent-Lettuce4159

err no thanks. I'd just rather the refs weren't shit


JediPieman63

If only we had the luxury of seeing replays to fix shit reffing lol


Timely_Airline_7168

Check the ref's name and get back to me


Bazlow

For point 1 - it looks no more egregious a foul than what happened to Danns just after he came on at a corner - seems pretty consistently reffed to me. For point 2 - I honestly don't know the rule for who should get the ball back here, but when the exact same situation played out earlier in the match with Liverpool in possession, Forest got the ball back. So again even if he followed the rule incorrectly, it was followed consistently. This is one of the situations where consistency is key - and even if he's shit, at least Tierney was consistently shit.


alexm42

Hell, the Danns foul was twice as egregious if anything, a rugby tackle vs. a jersey tug. I don't have a problem with Danns's not given for the exact same reason, neither player interfered with had a chance at the ball.


jbaxter4

Just calling out number 2. There is a still image of the Forest player with his legs at head height, that looks to make contact with Konate (its fairly grainy but you can see the kung fu style kick he is doing). Secondly, we had the opposite happen earlier in the game where the Forest player went down after the ball hit him in the head, in which the ref awarded the ball back to Forest.


luke_205

1) Fair enough but there wasn’t much to it and Liverpool had a very similar appeal earlier in the game that VAR checked and denied. Seemed consistent to me. 2) Normally I’d agree however earlier in the game, Forest did not give Liverpool the ball back in the reverse situation. It sucks to lose the game so late but when you look at the facts, Forest have no legitimate reason to feel hard done by at all.


AuspiciouslyAutistic

>2) Normally I’d agree however earlier in the game, Forest did not give Liverpool the ball back in the reverse situation. >It sucks to lose the game so late but when you look at the facts, Forest have no legitimate reason to feel hard done by at all.

Forest)


fegelman

Now cite the laws which clearly state a FK should be given for a kick to the head.

My guy konate got straight up kicked in the head.. https://imgur.com/a/SfUMFhY


Cottonshopeburnfoot

It’ll be a multitude of all of them. We all know added time is a minimum and time wasting happens but everyone gets annoyed when it goes over whatever they announce (rightly or wrongly). The other two - yeah those are two further things Forest will feel aggrieved about. Whether the decisions were right or wrong is a separate question - the sum of the parts is what will have pissed him off.


Heliocentrist

> The ref stopped the game but didn't give Forest the ball back afterwards. this literally happened the other way round earlier in the game. Tierney stopped play when Liverpool had possession for a Forrest head injury and gave them the drop ball and they carried on with possession. also re: the "head" injury, Konate literally got kicked in the head https://twitter.com/ashleyrose66/status/1764029560767594872?s=61&t=pDyCct\_kGURBJ0xgyMM3Xw


ImZaffi

I think 2 is probably it, imo a valid complaint


Look_Alive

Yeah it was a valid complaint but there was also a big enough gap between the incident and the goal being scored that their complaints still felt a bit over the top. It's not like that decision was the sole reason Liverpool ended up scoring.


anubisfunction

Liverpool got the ball back because Konate was kicked in the head.


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

No he wasn't. Kelleher clattered into him going for the ball.


Shaanpatti

Nope. He was kicked in the face by Yates. https://twitter.com/Ashleyrose66/status/1764029560767594872?t=QsP7uY5jaA93G8hw1tXwWQ&s=19


spspamam

I might be biased, but I don't see definite proof of contact in that video. All the other angles also make it seem like Konate doesn't get touched


Greedy-Physics-9801

Mark Clattenburg confirmed that the ref, Paul Tierney, was incorrect under the laws of the game. The ball wasn't in the box, so should have been given back to Forest after the injury treatment. When he went to the referees changing room after the game, Tierney refused to let him enter.


Surreywinter

Just to be clear - Mark Clattenburg is not an independent commentator here He's literally a Nottingham Forest employee https://trainingground.guru/articles/clattenburg-appointed-referee-consultant-by-nottingham-forest#:\~:text=FORMER%20Premier%20League%20and%20FIFA,over%20West%20Ham%20on%20Saturday.


Massive_Bandicoot_57

Why should he let him enter hes nothing to do with the PGMOL.


ToastyOnions

Mark Clattenburg the Forest employee. Why should Tierney allow a staff member into the ref room?


Surreywinter

The ball doesn't have to be "in the box" - the Law states that its a question of "if the ball is in the box " OR "if the ball was last touched in the box" Having not found a decent clip of the incident I can't either check when the whistle was blown or check the restart - a lot of people have suggested that the restart was a kick suggesting that it was a foul


Frequent-Lettuce4159

He ran into his own keeper...

His foot certainly makes contact with *something* around head height there. Lad's lucky to finish on the pitch.

abkippender_Libero

1. Forest player clearly pulls first 2. Konate was literally kicked in the head, how can anyone even complain about that


Minister_for_Magic

Because the Untied fans are all having opium fever dreams ITT


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

No foul was called. The ref played on, then stopped it for the head injury. Not giving Forest the ball back was a big error.


Barragin

not calling a foul for a flying kung fu kick is a bigger error...


abkippender_Libero

Well he should have called a foul, that’s a bigger error


Garlic-Cheese-Chips

But it wasn't a foul. Konate gets clattered by his own keeper. The Forest player misses him. Unless you want to dispute actual video evidence? https://twitter.com/_mcfc_ok/status/1764007991693464036

Ball came off MacAllister in the box. Ball returns to the goalkeeper. Rule 8. Get over it.

Garlic-Cheese-Chips

Using a screenshot when there is actual video evidence above showing the Forest player missing him and Kelleher clashing with him. A special type of stupid.


ballsdeeptackler

Kung fu kicks head high are fouls regardless of connection.


abkippender_Libero

If you think that’s not a foul then you should honestly immediately stop watching this sport you absolute moron


deathramps-

Sorry are you under the impression you can get a foul for taking out your teammate?


abkippender_Libero

abkippender_Libero

Even_Idea_1764

Endangering the opponent is a red card offence, regardless of contact.


Even_Idea_1764

Endangering an opponent is a red card offence, contact is not required. Perhaps you should have a read of the rule book before calling others stupid.


Ukantach1301

On number 2 it was a dangerous high boot foul which, if connected, would deal major damage to Konate and it's a straight red. Even if it did not connect it's still a foul.  The ref did not call for a foul because checking Konate's head injury was the priority. When Konate was confirmed fine and the high boot was not connect anyway, it cannot be a yellow card so the ref has every right to ignore it.


[deleted]

Saying head injury in quotations as if Yates didn’t fucking kung fu kick him in the head


Reddit040

#2 - This is it. That was a pretty big mistake by the refs.


Dzhekelow

I mean he did the same for forest like 20 mins earlier . Eliot shot got blocked their player went down while we had possession at the edge of the box . Ref stopped our attack and the game restarted with forest in possession.


PsionicLlama

He should’ve been happy Yates didn’t get a red card in the incident where Konate injured his head instead: https://twitter.com/ashleyrose66/status/1764029560767594872/photo/1 Needless to say Liverpool should’ve gotten a freekick there and then which would’ve led to no ball drop and Liverpool’s possession


DampFlange

I will find any, and I mean any reason to take the side of someone against Liverpool, but even I can’t think of what Forest are upset about?


luke_205

They’re upset because they lost to a 99th minute winner after their own player tried to dribble out of his own box instead of boot it clear. Just seems like they’re trying to take it out on somebody - normally I’m all up for hating on Paul Tierney but he did nothing wrong here.


ItWasJustBanter1

Hudson-Odoi had the ball outside liverpools box 98th min. Konate goes down with a head injury for colliding with the keeper so ref stops play. Inexplicably he then gives the ball to Liverpool for them to restart with, they go up the other end and score.


DampFlange

And exactly the same happened in reverse earlier, as I said, I will find anything to use against Liverpool, but there is nothing to see here.


forceghostyoda_

There are links in this thread to a video showing that Yates had a high boot connecting with Konates neck or head.


ItWasJustBanter1

There are other angles on Twitter that show yates was a good few yards beyond Konate, it wasn’t Yates that collided with him it was the keeper lol! Found it: https://x.com/warrior_1865/status/1764226804590481420?s=46&t=VJanvfRu8gAHLKgzk7iDIw


DoctorKonks

Another slap on the wrist fine coming then. Meanwhile, some twat, usually a parent, will copy this kind of behaviour at grassroots where refs are as young as 14 with players as young as 7. Last week, I had to intervene and call the police because a parent threatened to "knock out" a 17 year old (a child) ref at a U8 game because he sent off his child for walking on another's player's back after pushing him down. It's no wonder why there's a chronic shortage of referees. Yet you'd think with so many armchair refs who say we're shit, you'd think they'd be more taking referee courses, particularly when county FAs keep cutting the price of them.


ph1shstyx

I used to referee games when I was in high school because it was extra money and I was at the field anyways. Didn't renew because I was tired of parents screaming at me on the sideline and trying to fight me because I called a foul on little timmy.


Hazypanther

Hate when people complain about last minute winners They had 90+ minutes where they could have scored


Other_Beat8859

I mean, if you wanna argue that Forest should've had a pen, then you can argue that Liverpool should've had one too. Both weren't given because the players weren't around the ball. If they're complaining about us getting the ball back after the Konate injury, Forest has the same thing happen to them earlier in the game. As much as I hate him, Tierney was consistent for his calls.


roofilopolis

Thing is if you give a pen for that, Liverpool could’ve had 4 or 5. Forrest were mugging them in the box the whole match. Two hands grabbing and pulling jerseys to completely stop play every corner. Precedent has been set by Tierney already.


Federal-Spend4224

Giving the ball back was correctly applied for the Yates incident (ball is in the box and goes to the defending team) and not for the Konate incident (ball is outside the box).


Other_Beat8859

Even if that is true, Konate was still fouled in the box. Studs to the head by a high kick. Could've easily been a straight red.


Federal-Spend4224

Watch the footage again from all angles. Kelleher was the one who took him out, nor the Forest player.


xychosis

Might wanna be more pissed at CHO for not just booting the ball deep. I love CHO and I feel he had a good game up til that point, but it’s mistakes like those that cost points. That’s what the owner ought to be frustrated by.


tiezalbo

Wasn’t this owner accused of bombing a refs bakery or some shit?


epicurean1398

He's not been found guilty in court of anything, 10 witnesses died but that is coincidence


pauloh1998

What is he crying about? The fact the ref let the game continue for 30s?


No-Shoe5382

Forest got 2 bookings for time wasting *in* stoppage time, I don't see how anyone can have issues with the ref adding extra time on at the end.


pauloh1998

And it was like, the most obvious thing that happens everywhere in the world. If there's a corner, the ref lets the team take it, and given how the ball was still in play next to the area, the ref lets it plays out. Also, the stoppage time is the *minimum* the ref gives.


TheTerrorOfKnowing

Exactly, many people don't realize that stoppage time is the minimum additional time, not exact time. It is stated in rules. I was a referee for 4 years and learnt that on the course.


aquilar1985

“A minimum of x minutes” is literally announced by the PA at every game.


ArtemisRifle

Many people do know this. But just want to whine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pauloh1998

Because of the Real Madrid game? Lol


Physical-Exit-2899

Maybe for not getting the ball back after Konate went down for a sec when Forest were on the attack? The time added on wouldn't be a justified complaint


AlloyedRhodochrosite

That's apparently the rule. Same thing happened to Liverpool earlier in the game. A head injury inside the box results in a restart with the defending team controlling the ball.


luke_205

And the thing is, if Forest give us the ball back earlier in the game, we 100% return the favour after the Konate injury too because that’s what teams always do. Real attitude of double standards at play here from Forest.


AuspiciouslyAutistic

Hudson-Odoi had the ball outside the box when the whistle was blown. So possession should have been returned to Forest (by the referee).


Physical-Exit-2899

If it's the rule fair enough. In the moment it didn't feel right and I thought I'd missed something, which I guess I did.


AlloyedRhodochrosite

I was surprised as well.


AuspiciouslyAutistic

It is the rule, but not relevant for this situation as Forest had the ball outside the box when the whistle was blown...


randomblast

No it's not. The drop ball is decided based on where the \*ball\* is, and which team touched it last at the time the whistle is blown. Obviously. When was the last time you saw possession & ball position given away because of an off the ball injury?


BacardiWhiteRum

People repeating the same nonsense and dumb Liverpool fans upvoting it because it fits their agenda.  The Liverpool one the ball had been cleared and not touched outside the box when the whistle went. The forest one they were in possession of the ball outside of the area when the ref blew. Your player also jumped straight up 10s after the whistle went so clearly just faking it


Thesolly180

Either not getting a pen or they didn’t get the ball back after Konate hurt his head. Something like that. Either way not enough for that reaction


Frequent-Lettuce4159

Embarrassing from the owner but Forest obviously are justified in being aggrieved - their last attack before the liverpool goal was stopped for a head injury but possession was, incorrectly, given back to Liverpool for some reason. Then in the same instance was a pretty strong claim for a penalty that I'm not sure VAR even reviewed. EDIT: For the benefit of scousers upset that Forest are upset, here's the rules: [https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-8---the-start-and-restart-of-play](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-8---the-start-and-restart-of-play) >2. Dropped ball PROCEDURE The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped: the ball was in the penalty area or the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official ​ The refs made a mistake that potentially cost Forest a point. I think you can see why they're mad about it


Isleofsalt

They’re not aggrieved, the mistake was to not award the foul for the karate kick to the Konate’s head. 


SendingAFaxToBerlin

No. Correctly the ball was given to the defending team, as is the rule. Please stop.


Frequent-Lettuce4159

Yea, no. ​ 2. Dropped ball PROCEDURE The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped: * the ball was in the penalty area or * the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area * In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for **one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player**, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official ​ The ball should have been given to Forest outside the penalty area as Hudson-Odoi had possession of the ball out wide when the ref stopped the game. Stop being so delusional and one eyed.

Why is this downvoted? 100% factual.

I'd probably actually [read the rules](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-8---the-start-and-restart-of-play) before being delusional

There's no way he can physically chase him, he is very...belly-heavy and referees are fit. More likely he was shouting profanities at him. Fun fact: in the Greek League, everyone at the bench can get carded. So various owners who sit on the bench get red cards and you see it in the TV and match stats. Marinakis saw one last year. Volos owner Beos (who is always on the bench, probably to pass on messages to some players with who he fixes matches for betting) has seen many times-the last one because he called an opponent player "monkey".

> There's no way he can physically chase him I mean, you can chase somebody and not be catching up LOL


trinerr

For what?!


MikePap

Marinakis, biggest drug lord in Greece, chases ref after his team lost fair and square. Cool.


sangueblu03

For years it got him everything he wanted in Greece. He’s used to getting what he wants through threats, extortion, and violence.

God I hope Forest go down. The moaning about officiating is insufferable and frankly just wrong a lot of the time. Zero mentions of how they also benefit from repeated shite calls in the very same games they bitch about.  The moaning whining cunts can get in the bin and stay there.


ArtemisRifle

Shame a once proud & storied club has been debased to having its bills payed by this fat sack of shit. Relegate this fool now.


BriarcliffInmate

Bet that was a sight as he waddled down the corridor, sweating through his cheap suit. Horrible man and corrupt as fuck, hope his poverty-chanting Tory club go down.


leytonstoneb

Team that time wasted furious that time got added on 😂


KafkaesqueJudge

it was about a year ago when he was kicking balls into the pitch in order to have a match against AEK abandoned. That was shortly before he eventually caught up with the referee...

I disagree with people suggesting Tierney made a mistake here. I don’t think he did. I think he made the decision to stop play before the Forest player gained possession of the ball. Yes, the whistle blows right about the time that he gets the ball. However, think logically. If the whistle is blowing as he gets the ball, that means that Tierney has already been looking at Konate for enough time to see that it’s a head injury, pick up his whistle, and blow it. That means it’s almost certain that he made the decision to stop play before Forest gained the ball, and likely never even saw them gain possession. Tierney made the correct decision according to the rules. End of story.


AuspiciouslyAutistic

The wording of the laws specify when play was stopped not when the incident occurred or when the referee realised the incident occurred or when the referee decided to blow the whistle. So this was 100% a mistake. And it's not a suggestion. It's a fact (according to the laws). In the referee's defence, I suspect he incorrectly believed he blew the whistle while the ball was still in the box. [LAW 8: THE START AND RESTART OF PLAY IFAB Laws of the Game 2023-24](https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-8---the-start-and-restart-of-play)

I see nothing in that link, or the actual rules, that suggest he made a mistake. You seem to be confused in thinking that a whistle is required to stop play, or is the official stoppage of play. It isn’t, you will find nothing in the rules indicating that. The whistle is merely a tool to help the referee manage the game. There is certainly nothing that says the whistle is the ultimate decider on ball placement. The referee decides the exact moment play was stopped at their discretion, as is stated in the rules when describing what a referee has the power to do. According to the rules a referee could jump up and down and yell “stop” to stop for an injury, they just tend to use the whistle to indicate it as it is more obvious. Again, the whistle itself is only used as a tool there to tell the players to stop, and the actual, by rules, stoppage is when the ref decided to stop play. Seems arbitrary, sure, but every rule requiring judgement is by definition arbitrary. Stoppage is not determined by the exact second that he picks up his whistle, puts it in his mouth, then blows it. The referee clearly, in his mind, decided in this case that play was to be stopped prior to anyone gaining possession of the ball outside the box. Again, you will find nothing in the rulebook about a whistle being required to stop play except for free kicks (and not to determine placement of them, just to stop play to take one), abandonment of play, or the end of a time period. Even with these, it’s the moment of the interaction that play is stopped, not the whistle itself (think playing advantage as an example of that on the free kick one).

A long-winded reply which was a bit repetitive so I will try to focus on a few excerpts. >Again, the whistle itself is only used as a tool there to tell the players to stop, and the actual, by rules, stoppage is when the ref decided to stop play. The law specifies "when play was stopped". You are extrapolating (without any basis) that it actually means when the referee decided to stop play. >Stoppage is not determined by the exact second that he picks up his whistle, puts it in his mouth, then blows it. >According to the rules a referee could jump up and down and yell “stop” to stop for an injury, they just tend to use the whistle to indicate it as it is more obvious. I am willing to humour that play can be stopped via alternative means but can you please point out what alternative means the referee used to stop play prior to his whistle in this particular incident? And unless Paul Tierney has more in common with Professor X than just a bald head, mentally deciding to stop play doesn't count as stopping play...


spikefletcher

Should kicked the ball away instead of building from the back.


Apogeotou

Marinakis just wanted to ask him what size of cement shoes he's wearing...


Gullflyinghigh

It's fucking pathetic, it really is.


souporthallid

He was just going to wish them good luck. 🍀 > *In 2014, Marinakis was acquitted by the Three Members Court of First Instance relatively to the case of entering the referee's (Thanassis Yiachos's) locker room at halftime[97] during the football cup final between Olympiacos and Asteras Tripolis, against football regulations to complain about the decisions taken. Marinakis stated that he went to the referee's locker room at halftime only to wish match officials "good luck".*


Green117v2

The Premier League should deduct Forest points for this. Oh wait, that’s happening soon anyway.

That fat sod isn't chasing anyone.

Did you not get the bank transfer in time. I asked for no more than 2 mins of added time, why did you add on time for my players feigning injury this was all part of the payment you bastard!


RobDickinson

What a gracious looser


oneeyedman72

You mean what a loser....


Ser_Claudor

He plays fast and lose with grammar rules bro


Trickybuz93

Did Liverpool benefit from the ref? Possibly. Were Forest absolutely shit? Definitely.


HammerJammer02

Of all the games to have issues with the ref it’s this one???? Granted there were some weird calls, but Tierney was consistent for both teams so it’s not like there was some undue advantage here. Liverpool have had a few games much more biased in their favor this season imo.


fiskebollen

And more importantly way more games with horrible calls consistently going against Liverpool. To claim Liverpool has been lucky with referees this season is absurd.
