Tbh Gabriel obviously makes the most of it but can see why it's been given. What I don't get is why the Ekiteke goal was given...makes absolutely zero sense.
I’m starting to see it as theft
Both sets of invest their money and time but the same set of fans always miraculously gets fucked over whilst the other can relax with the protection of officials who are meant to ref the game fairly

Match officials Mic'd up: Peter Bankes explains Randal Kolo Muani disallowed goal
Premier League referee Peter Bankes tells Match Officials Micd up why he disallowed Randal Kolo Muanis goals in the North London derby between Spurs and Woolwich.
I'm so done with this now.... We all know how it's gonna end, and WHY....
there's nothing we can do about it...
No wonder the Gooners are so confident, arrogant and smug .. they KNOW they've got every helping hand available to them this season
If they somehow DON'T win it this season, I guarantee THIS will be the moment they throw the book at City and give them a big enough points deduction/relegation to keep them out of Arse's paved way to global domination
Then WE'LL still have to fucking play them in the Championship next season!!
...beyond me mate?

That they’ve brought him out to tell everyone he was right.
Clear sign they know they robbed us as a club and as a fanbase
Absolutely.
I really feel like just giving up when I watch and hear shit like this from the referees alternative world. So when that twat Dermot Gallagher claims the difference between the Ekitike goal and the RKM disallowed one was that it would have been harsh to disallow the Liverpool goal because Ekitike got up early to make the header.
I mean what the actual fuck and what sort of an explanation is that? So he jumps early and in order to give himself a clear and unopposed header, he pushes Romero in the back with both hands. Gabriel did not get up early and had clearly misjudged the trajectory of the ball. RKM did put his hands on his back , no denying that, but with no force and Gabriel was not getting anywhere near that cross. Even so, how the fuck can Gallagher attempt to justify the Liverpool goal on the basis that pushing Romero over in order to meet the cross is not really crucial to the goal being disallowed because he got up early to meet the cross. I fuckin despair.
Maybe time to simply say bollocks now and go and watch lower division football. Not ruling out, of course, that very soon that may entail watching Spurs anyway.
It feels more rigged than I can ever remember. Even the Ferguson years at United weren’t like this.
Two things nobody wants to hear:
1. The different between the Ekitike goal and the RKM one is that the on-field decision was different. If "clear and obvious error" is to have any meaning at all, it by definition must allow for a zone in which the exact same play can be given one way or the other within the referee's judgment and VAR will not intervene.
Now, that hasn't been how VAR does work a lot of the time, but it's how it's supposed to work.
2. The on-field decision was different in large part because Gabriel's theatrical dive was done more effectively than Romero's
(Having said all of that, for the record, the Ekitike goal ought to have been chalked off by VAR, in my view.)
I see what you are saying, but irrespective of the on-field decisions being different or clear and obvious error issues; my complaint centred on the nonsense spewing from Dermot Gallagher’s mouth. He is brought into Sky as an expert ex-PL ref in order to assess the accuracy or otherwise of the weekend’s refereeing decisions.
As I previously said, In attempting to justify both refereeing decisions as being correct in those games, his pearl of wisdom to justify the Liverpool goal being given is for one reason, and one reason only. That is to say, while he accepts Ekitike pushed Romero over in order that he had a clear and unopposed header, it would be harsh to rule the goal out because unlike Gabriel, Ekitike had got up early to meet the ball. I’ve never heard such a load of bollocks in my life.
How can the players just accept it too? They should be mad the amount of decisions that go against them, are they scared to speak because they will get a fine? One of the worse decisions we ever had was the Dier handball at home to Newcastle, if I remember correctly Jose tried it’s us against the world, fuck them all mentality and we went on a big unbeaten run in the league including beating Woolwich and City back to back and knocking Chelsea out the cup. The game after that bad Dier decision against Newcastle we beat United 6-1 at old Trafford. We need someone like Micky to try something similar to get us out of this relegation mess, the us against the refs/league mentality might motivate them to fight…
But Romero did not accept it, he got booked for arguing which led to him getting sent off and the 4 game suspension.
Yeah, the ex-referees just chat shit in order to defend their fellow referees, whichever way the decision goes, it's the same in the US sports.
Clattenburg said it. Look it up
I remember Graham Roberts said on Talksport the refs had a bias against Spurs coz they got a ref, think it was Mike Dean, in trouble. In that show on radio the other pundits set upon Roberts for suggesting any collaboration against Spurs and Roberts who was a regular contributor was never on Talksport again!
Many fans on various forums have said about the Spurs disallowed goal but it wasn't just that one incident and the rest of the match was ok. It was unplayable, Tottenham weren't given a chance by an extremely biased ref who ruined the match as a competition. He rewarded the worst dives seen in the EPL and many in the media have covered it up. I have now blocked Talksport on Youtube when Simon Jordan slaughtered Spurs for diving last week coz Anthony (Woolwich fan) Taylor booked 2 Spurs players, and this week Arse.nil dived all over the place and got every free kick (Saka was a disgrace). But Simon Jordan showed he is a fake hypocrite and said nothing about them clearly cheating and the ref cheating!

I wouldn't be surprised if there is actually an organisation that represents the refs 'unofficially' and clubs have been paying them for mutual goodwill. Knowing Levy and the club, we are probably the one paying the least and hence we are always the one getting fucked the most in on-field decision.
Of course I'm just fantasising the above idea, but it literally could take other similar forms of working, and I don't believe corruption doesn't exist in this sport.

He said he allowed Spurs players t self destruct to avoid sending them off and being accused of influencing the title race.
What do you think he said?
For anything with this amount of money involved in it, it's more of a conspiracy theory to think it isn't corrupt
