Alan Shearer blasts totally wrong drop-ball decision minutes before Liverpool winner vs Nottingham Forest

  1. Scrutinizing 1 tierney mistake which did not directly lead to a goal in a match where he got 2 dozen calls wrong including a missed red card offense on the same play feels a bit silly.

  2. This is such a strange thing to take exception to because the ref made EXACTLY the same decision earlier in the match favoring Forest. Did Shearer not watch this match? The people at NF weren’t protesting that call when it was in their favor. They had every chance to keep the ball out of their net, and they didn’t.

  3. It was bizarre. We saw replays of Konate getting clobbered by his keeper, and it returns to action with Liverpool pushing up the field in possession. Had no idea what happened.

    Forest can feel aggrieved, but let’s not forget they tried dribbling the ball out of their box in the 98th minute.

  5. Shearer’s bias against Liverpool is becoming pretty ridiculous at this point. Remember this was the same bloke who got on the podcast with Lineker and Richards after the Diaz goal was wrongly ruled out against Spurs saying we just have to accept it, and that referees make mistakes, it’s part of the game. Absolute bell end.

  6. Fuck off Shearer, if the shoe was on the other foot you wouldn’t being saying boo.

  8. The ref did the same thing in the first half and gave the ball to Forrest on a drop ball. Only difference is they didn’t score.

    He just needs to be taught the rules as he was doing it wrong for both teams.

  10. The incident literally happened in the 97th minute and the goal happened in the 99th. During that time position changed hands multiple times. Where do we draw the damn line with this? Should we start blaming goals on an incorrect foul decision 5 minutes before a goal? Tierney also made multiple wrong calls against us.

    This is so fucking dumb. The fact that people are making such a big deal over something so minor is insane.

  11. Replays clearly show the rules were applied correctly – the whistle blew before the forest player took possession. The ball was in the air. Even if it was half a second after he took possession, the referee is blowing for a specific reason from which he wants to restart the game – his focus is on what he’s whistling for in that split second. Sure if forest had possession for 20 seconds before the ref noticed maybe he’d have a point. But they don’t.

    It’s both legally and morally correct as a decision.

    If Forest want to re-ref it then the correct decision would have been red for Yates and a free kick for Liverpool.

    It’s such a nothingburger that the pundits narrative starts to look suspicious. Like they want anything to make it seem like Liverpool are being favoured.

    Should have been a free kick to Liverpool and a red card to Yates, he came flying in kung fu style with studs up at head height and could have taken someones head off, straight red card in the rules of the game.

    The exact same drop ball issue went in the same way at the other end of the pitch earlier in the game, the difference between the two incidents is this ome should have been a Liverpool free kick anyway.

    Forest and Yates got away with one big time and are now bitching about a non-issue. You didn’t clear your lines and you lost because of it, stop crying.

  17. Alan needs to thank his shite oil club for the 6 points for us.

  18. Of course he does. We’ll have the foul in konate thanks. And besides why didn’t bbc cover that the ref gave forest the exact same thing earlier on in the game. Shearer hates us. As does jenas.

  19. Cry Alan, you out-of-touch, heavily agenda’d, overrated windbag.

  20. He is right a huge mistake happened.

    Ryan Yates should have been sent off first then Kelleher should have taken a free kick not a drop ball.
