Liverpool vs Chelsea

[Sheffields Finest]

No, as this is a referee's forum not a fan's forum. I didn't watch the game so can't comment on the referee's performance.

Looked a fairly easy game TBF, nothing that jumped out and no Liverpool slip ups today (Robertson did do a minor one)

Anyone see this ?

Fabinho actually walks towards Hazard and does what he does, surely when "clearing your nose" you get as far away from other people to do so.

Not on a loop on Sky?

Provocative? Yes
Unnecessary? Yes
Offensive? In my opinion, Yes.

If Michael Oliver had got a good view of that from start to finish then would have been very interesting to see his reaction ....

Can’t condone any directed spitting, is this ok, ??? Mr Oliver is millimetres away so he probably saw it. On purpose? Who knows!

 

[spuddy1878]

I think he sees it maybe not were Fabinho has walked from and in my honest opinion he doesn't know what to do.

Is anyone giving a red card here ?

Spitting, an exchange,of ones bodily fluids
Kissing, an exchange, of ones bodily fluids..

I thought this at the time. MO seems to turn his back at the wrong time but there seems no reason why he has to do it there. He even takes a step towards Hazard

Disgusting. Won't surprise me if the FA ignore it just as MO obviously did

agreed, he seen it but probably thought ohhh that’s going to cause mayhem if I send him off for that so for me pretended he didn’t see it.

Shaking hands exchanges bodily germs, where does it end?

It isn’t great but there Is wiggle room to ignore

Oh well, now that all the forumites here have see it, "Top level referee ignore it, it must be the right thing to do, we should ignore it too"

where does it end?

When top level referee start applying the laws so that grassroots referees have no excuses to ignore it.
