insane call but where are the yellow cards?

best league in the world and at 4am they get the drunk guys from the closest bar to referee the game. only explanation I have.

Ref got a watch notification that the payment had been declined

It's ok. Howard Webb will issue an apology letter and everything will.be fine again. In ref we trust.

Spurs can only get results against the top 6 when refs make awful calls in their favour.

I am an arsenal fan all my life but I fucking gate thay shit

they literally started an initiative about two seasons ago to let any potential goal opportunity play out and check for offsides/fouls after the goal, what the fuck was he thinking here

So he actually gives the advantage, but when Haaland manages to find Graelish through on goal he pulls it back??

Even Anthony Taylor looked perplexed

Jesus fucking christ is that a shocker of a decision

Unlucky decision, but it is pretty obvious what happened here. Hooper plays advantage initially, sees that the advantage isn't a strong one because Haaland is heading backwards and is off balance so he blows it just as the ball is being hoofed downfield into a 1 on 4. Unfortunately for him Haaland's ball is remarkable and it springs Grealish. Ultimately it is a split second decision and Hooper is unlucky in that he looks foolish here, but stopping the advantage is probably correct 9 times out of 10 given the City players' positions. He also can't really afford to wait for the result of the ball that Haaland plays because at that point it will have been too late to bring it back. One of those that looks far more dubious than it is. It is a fast paced game and refereeing is hard.

Bellend

How many games this bald asshole is going to ruin before he will be finally a garbage truck driver or something similar? He was the best Tottenham player against Liverpool as well. The thoughest league in the world, and he will become a main factor at the end of the championship? Disgrace...

It’s not even like he didn’t give an advantage at all. He gave one and then said nahhh, not that much advantage. What a shite referee.

That is criminal, fucking hell

Are all EPL refs this fat

The worst thing is he let the play go on after Haaland got up and then suddenly decided to call it

ROBBED

mans had a tenner on a draw

thats just fucking embarrassing

He played the advantage and then pulled back 💀

"City get the favourable decisions" crew gonna be real quiet on this one

Premier League referees are a disgrace

Ref's had a absolute mare there

He gives the advantage and then takes it back.. very weird

Ref committing DOGSO

We’re gonna get one of those Liverpool letters from PGMOL and it ain’t gonna mean fuckin squat

hilarious

LMAO

Was he off or not, that's just so bad

That's an absolute fucking howler

We’re even bad at paying the refs.

That was… weird

Honestly, a fucking shocking decision by the refree There's a clear advantage to be played here

wtf???

that’s awful ngl

That might be one of the worst onfield decisions in a while.

I’m not completely fluent with the rules but this feels like a straight robbery right?

The refs in this league are so horrendously bad it’s not even funny anymore.

I haven’t seen a referee call for something totally unique like this in such a big game for so long

Bias aside that’s fucking ridiculous

That is a howler lol

Imposible. Some very smart redditors told me that there’s a massive conspiracy for Man City to get every decision

Oh, Hooper's fucked it

I hate City but that’s some certifiable BS

What a shitty call from a shitty ref

When there's an incompetence competition and my opponent is a Premier League referee

There's been some absolutely shit decisions this season, but this may genuinely be the worst one, he fucking signed for advantage and then brought it back after the pass????? AND HE BOOKED HAALAND FOR COMPLAINING HAHAHAHAHAHA

The level of the Premier League referees is atrocious. Haaland’s fuck off was on point.

That's a fucking disgraceful call. He even starts to play advantage, but then is like 'oh no that's a bit much of an advantage'.

I’ve said it before, but with the amount of mistakes made, any other profession you lose your job. This lot all just pat each other on the back - don’t be defensive just fix the poor quality. Everyone gets a bad decision once in a while, but it’s every bloody week!
