TBH you have to be a c*** of a refree to send two blokes off in the 82nd minute of a largely fair game knowing full well they will miss the cup final.
I hope Pards and Benitez get together and approach the FA as a delegation; Thatb might carry a bit more weight. I assume of course that the disciplinary committee are a bunch of jobsworths and will have none of it.
Agreed. It wasn't a dirty game and the stakes were the same for both sides, so a yellow each would have been sufficient. They say refs have no discretion, but of course they do. That is why they are there. To apply common sense.
I've always thought that this ref was OK but he is an f*wit! FFS this was a tribute to John Lyall. There was no need to send them off.
Pards and Benitez need to get together. The FA could reduce the ban to 2 games.
Just seen it again and Mullins pushed Garcia in the chest and he went down clutching his face!!!!!
btw Mullins played a blinder. That tackle in the first half on Fowler was superb. I was watching his play closely in the second half and didn't put a foot wrong and he did the same just before the red card.
Also, wonder if Konch can play on the right? Scaloni did well at LB.
Liverpool were beatable today, we can win the cup!
