The refereeing Liverpool have been subjected to, particularly at Anfield, is genuinely staggering. And I’m tired of legitimate criticism being dismissed as “sour grapes” before anyone even bothers to look at the evidence.
Paul Tomkins has researched this extensively, going back decades and some of his findings are genuinely ridiculous.
Consider these stats from his April 2026 study:
• ZERO opposition players have received a foul-related DOGSO red card at Anfield since 2009. That’s 325 home league games without an opponent being sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity through a foul.
• 3 Liverpool players received DOGSO red cards at Anfield in just 28 games under Slot. More than opposition players received at Anfield in the previous 25 years combined.
• Liverpool haven’t received a penalty in the opening 15 minutes of a league match with fans present since December 2012. Man City received 14 (!!) in that same period.
• Liverpool went 305 consecutive league matches between 2015 & 2023 without an opposition player receiving a 2nd yellow. That’s 8 years. Home or away.
• Since VAR was introduced, Liverpool have received just 2 VAR-awarded penalties for fouls. Man City received 11. Liverpool have also had 7 awarded against them.
• Liverpool received ZERO subjective VAR overturns in their favour before the 28th minute across approximately 260 matches. Man United received 7, Arsenal 6 & Man City 6.
• Salah averaged just 0.83 fouls won per 90 minutes, ranking outside the top 2,000 players in Tomkins’ study. Anyone who watched Salah knows how ridiculous that is given how frequently he’s grabbed, pulled & manhandled.
• Liverpool’s average foul free-kicks won dropped from around 12-13 per game before Klopp to just 9 after his arrival. Only Sheffield United recorded fewer in Tomkins’ comparison.
• Only 51% of Liverpool’s penalties were awarded at Anfield, compared to approximately 63% at home across the league. Some home advantage, eh?
And perhaps the most damning stat of all:
Of the 56 highly contentious league incidents Tomkins identified against Liverpool in the VAR era, 53 (95%) happened when the match was level or separated by just 1 goal.
These are game-changing decisions. Penalties, red cards & incidents that can genuinely decide matches, title races & entire seasons.
Think about Tarkowski’s challenge on Mac Allister, Ødegaard practically playing basketball at Anfield, Senesi’s handball or Salah getting manhandled every other week without a whistle. Oh, and literally disallowing a completely valid goal at Tottenham (no, YOU let it go).
At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?
And what frustrates me most is how quickly people dismiss the conversation as “sour grapes.” As if being a Liverpool supporter somehow invalidates the evidence. You can be biased & still be absolutely right.
I’m not suggesting these stats automatically prove some grand conspiracy, but the disparities are extraordinary. And when you actually watch the incidents themselves, it’s difficult to understand how some of these decisions are even possible.
We’re talking about penalties & red cards. Literally the most consequential decisions a referee can make. And somehow Liverpool consistently find themselves on the wrong end of them, even at Anfield - especially at Anfield - where we’re supposedly benefiting from this enormous home advantage.
Why shouldn’t that be questioned?
Credit to Paul Tomkins for actually doing the research & documenting this over the years.

“Some of you may die” says the Member for the 19th Century. But that is a sacrifice Rees-Mogg is willing to make…
News🇬🇧🔥🇷🇺: "Over the next few years we may have to go to war, some of you may die? but this is about doing your DUTY".
Watch as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg goes into new levels of pomposity rarely seen in British politics, since Lord Kitchener pointed at British men and cried "Your country Needs You".
Mogg demands and expects that most white working class Brits go 'over the top' for a King and Government who treat them with sheer contempt.
Under JRM's best friend and fellow bumchum at Eton, Boris Johnson, the UK was intentionally flooded with around 5 million Islamist loving migrants and African former military, blighting the nation for decades to come perhaps forever.
Sir Jacob gushes over King Charles III, who is more interested in the "wisdom of Islam", than speaking out against the planned invasion of our/his Kingdom.
This former Tory MP is laying the table for the UK and Europe being involved in a full-scale war with Russia. He demands that you and your sons head over into the meat grinder to satisfy his sense of "duty".
Going into the slaughterhouse of Ukraine, where perhaps over 1 million white Christian men have died, is not the Falklands, or any form of conflict which threats British sovereignty under the Thomas Aquinas Just War Theory.
The Thomas Aquinas war in his work 'Summa Theologiae', arguing that war is not always a sin if it meets strict moral criteria.
Ukraine is a proxy war for EU expansion and theft, by an institution which has destroyed Europe via 'net-zero, mass immigration and super demonic DEI diktats.
Tell me @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, when will you and yours be popping of into the Zelensky/EU/NATO killing machine to satisfy your deities and quench your thirst for patriotic blood, by a King and government who abandoned indigenous Brits decades ago?

✍️ An Open Letter to Richard Hughes
Richard,
Liverpool supporters are not unreasonable. They understand football. They understand setbacks. What they struggle to accept is a full season of the same problems repeating with no visible solution.
That is where we are now.
Sunday’s draw with Tottenham felt less like a point gained and more like an indictment of everything that has gone wrong this year. Spurs arrived in disarray. Injuries everywhere. No league wins in 2026. A squad patched together with academy players. Yet Liverpool, at Anfield, produced a performance that was hesitant, shapeless and alarmingly toothless.
In truth, Liverpool were fortunate to leave with a draw.
This isn't about one afternoon. It's about a pattern.
Week after week, Liverpool dominate possession but rarely dominate the game. The attack lacks fluency. The midfield lacks authority. The defence collapses under late pressure. The same questions are asked after every match because the same issues appear every week.
At some point, responsibility must rest with the man in charge.
Arne Slot inherited world-class players. He inherited a club built on elite standards. Yet over the past year, the football has become slower, more predictable and increasingly ineffective. When almost every player looks worse than they did twelve months ago, the explanation is rarely individual failure.
It's coaching.
Managers are judged on their ability to solve problems. Liverpool’s problems have been obvious for months, and yet the solutions have never arrived.
That is why November matters so much.
At that point, the warning signs were already clear. Performances were deteriorating. Confidence was draining from the team. Many supporters, myself included, believed decisive action was needed before the season unravelled completely.
Instead, the message that came from the club was calm reassurance. We were told everything was under control. The now infamous roundtable video in February, featuring you alongside Slot, projected unity and confidence that the direction was correct.
But unity only works when the direction is right.
Looking back now, that moment feels less like leadership and more like hesitation. A chance to confront reality was replaced with a public show of faith that the evidence on the pitch simply did not support.
That decision sits with you.
You were rightly praised last summer. The recruitment looked ambitious and intelligent. Many fans backed you completely. Yet hindsight now suggests the squad balance has not worked, and the coach entrusted to guide it has struggled badly.
Supporters can accept mistakes.
What they cannot accept is pretending a mistake has not been made.
Liverpool still possess too much talent and too much history to accept a season where the football becomes this stagnant and the standards fall this far.
Leadership requires honesty.
Arne Slot has had time. He has had patience. He has had backing.
But the problems remain exactly the same.
Deep down, you may already know the conclusion. No new contract for Slot, suggests you do.
And if that is the case, Richard, Liverpool supporters are simply asking for one thing.
The courage to act on it. 🙏

There's only one reason the IDF accepts this figure: they know the real number is much, much higher.
Palestinians tried to tell the world. Shame on all those who discredited them.
By hiding the genocide, you fuelled the genocide.

The same Israel that rained white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in South Lebanon now wants you to believe it cares about human rights in Iran.
Study confirms Israel used white phosphorus widely across civilian areas in south Lebanon
——
Ahmad Baydoun, an open-source intelligence researcher at Delft University of Technology, has documented widespread Israeli use of white phosphorus munitions in southern Lebanon during hostilities between October 2023 and November 2024.
His investigation mapped 248 Israeli strikes by geolocating photos and videos and collecting testimony from residents.
The findings show that a large share of the attacks hit civilian and agricultural areas, despite international restrictions banning the use of incendiary weapons such as white phosphorus in densely populated zones.
According to the study, 39 percent of documented strikes occurred over civilian areas and 16 percent over farmland.
Baydoun said 91 percent of the white phosphorus strikes took place before Israeli forces entered southern Lebanon in October 2024, directly contradicting Israel’s official narrative.
The results were published in an interactive map in October 2025, allowing residents to identify damage to homes and land.

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.
The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.

Time for Liverpool to sack Slot. Might be best for all involved if Salah leaves for Saudi in January too. Time to rebuild.

Ciryl Gane clearly aiming for the eyes and just missed this other attempted eye-gouge one minute before the pokes that stopped the fight. Jon Jones' legacy (eyepokes) will never die.
Could not have wished for a better man to score the winner. Absolutely love Chiesa!
Hopefully he gets more minutes this season!

It irritates me listening to the persistent moaning on Talksport and on X where fans of other clubs moan about the "glass ceiling" to break into the top 6. What's particularly ridiculous is how there's this perception that "we can't compete". Let's get a few things straight. #LFC
