The Referee

[parkendkev]

He'll be taken off refereeing duties next week for that performance against the sky darlings.

If you reads the laws, it's a foul.

TAA challenged for the ball and in doing so tripped DCL, and by leaving his feet and sliding in front of him was careless.

I do think its a "soft" pen, but they still count as fouls, he was trying to block the shot and was unlucky that DCL tripped over him. But it's still a foul.

As for Carragher asking what's he supposed to do, stay on his feet if you can't make that challenge without tripping your opponent, it's quite simple.

Although to be honest, i think if Alisson has held the shot it wouldn't have been given, you see strikers took out after getting the shot away all the time but the foul very rarely gets given, but as he spilt it and DCL might have got to it then it got given.

I don't think it was a red because it was an attempt for the ball, all be it a poor one rather than a shirt pull or similar, and it's hard to say if DCL would have got there before the keeper.

Just ask yourself,other end would they get it?of course, thankfully this fella didn't bottle it tonight!!

Ref: “Penalty!”
VAR: “Hey Chris lad, wait a sec... 50 quid says you ain’t got the balls to fire over to the monitor, pretend to take a look, then windmill at Klopp on the way back to the penalty spot”
Ref: “F’kin watch me...“

Gave them 2 free kicks outside our box that werent free kicks.
Other than that he done well.

 

[Dymak]

Didn't make one major mistake.

If he's on social media though there'll be Sean Promises a plenty coming his way unfortunately.

Sean Promises?

 

[f.t.r.s]

Sean Promises?

The flump that suggested he was going to do Pickford in retaliation for the death of st virgil

 

[riddick]

There should have been 2 red cards for them in this match but, you know, you can't have that.

 

[Magus]

Pity we didn’t get the ref from the championship who almost nutted the Ipswich player.
Imagine the scenes if he’d laid one on Salah for being a cheating Egyptian

Can one of the young'uns please do a "Cheat like an Egyptian" Gif/Meme whatever?

 

[flibbyflob]

He should have booked Salah for diving but not much else to complain about. Bet they will say he was biased.

The penalty was a stonewall pen. DCL was to tap it in if the player wasn't obstructing his path to the ball.

It's like when they were lying down in the wall for free-kicks - if a player runs over you, it's a foul; it doesn't matter if you've meant it, you're in the way of a goalscoring opportunity with no intention of playing the ball.

I thought he was boss.

That can’t be the right still image, as no way the best full back in the werld gets absolutely legged from that position by a lad who’s been out with a hamstring injury.
