GWT: PL Matchweek 37

Sure, but I don't think he meant it. He just reacted.

Not saying he shouldn't have been sent off but any player on the pitch would have done the same thing.

This doesn’t make sense. He didn’t mean to stick his elbow out?

 

[Live in the Now]

The referee is beyond terrible.

Missed: Manquillo kicking Mane in the head for a penalty, letting Ritchie foul Salah bad constantly, TAA red card, van Dijk foul there, many other small fouls.

Like I said, he just reacted.

I guess we have different definitions of meant to do it.

 

[Live in the Now]

Well I guess the referee played advantage after the TAA handball which they are allowed to do. Still though. Horrible referee.

But even if you play advantage, you go back and give whatever card you would have given had play stopped.

Am I wrong here?

 

[Prntscrn]

Swedish pundits say they can't give him a red since they played the advantegous or missed it. Think they could let the goal stand or take it back and award a penalty kick and a red if one of the other 3 referees saw it.

In this case you are wrong.

Because Atsu scored anyway, TAA is supposed to be given a yellow card. The referee is not able to give a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity because they scored. If Atsu sends the ball wide or it is saved, TAA is to be given a red card and a penalty awarded.

Specific rule per the FA website:

If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution / send off would have been issued had play been stopped, this caution / send off must be issued when the ball is next out of play, except for the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity when the player is cautioned for unsporting behaviour.

Dumb rule. That makes no f***ing sense to me.

But he didn't get a yellow either, so the ref still didn't even follow the dumb rule.

Marriner probably missed it otherwise he likely would have called it immediately. But one would guess one of the other 3 saw it, then they could decide weather it's a goal and yellow or a penalty and red I guess.

No and he shouldn't be officiating these games. The logic of playing advantage only applies in a case when the player is more likely to score from where he has the ball than from the penalty spot, which Atsu was.

The rule still makes absolutely no sense to me as Newcastle deserved the advantage of playing against 10 men. The rule is still the rule though and Alexander-Arnold should not have been sent off.

This isn't the first rodeo with Marriner being insufferable IIRC.

 

[Savant]

1-2 is probably a fair score all said a d done though. Should be an interesting 2nd half. Newcastle showed up

 

[Machinehead]

Sturridge has more homeruns than the Yankees today

TAA can stab somebody for all I care. I'm not here to be fair.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Rondon is just a behemoth

 

[Live in the Now]

This is difficult to watch.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

What has happened to Perez in the last two months to make him absolutely incredible?

 

[Cassano]

Perez dribbled through 5 players with two moves lol

 

[Prntscrn]

Great no Firmino or Salah against Barcelona.

 

[Live in the Now]

The worst injury luck at the worst time of the season.

 

[YNWA14]

Salah is done for the season.

 

[koyvoo]

Oh gawd. Liverpool are gonna have to get this goal with Origi and Sturridge at the top.

 

[Theokritos]

Great no Firmino or Salah against Barcelona.

Don't worry, Sturridge will be available.

 

[Burner Account]

I feel so bad for him
