Liverpool fans will have been left scratching their heads in disbelief after yet another disastrously bad officiating judgment.
Alexis Mac Allister was taken aback when he was given his marching orders following a 50/50 challenge in the second half of the game against Bournemouth.
Because of the absurdity of the call, as well as VAR’s lack of involvement, a slew of analysts, including Gary Lineker, Jan Aage Fjortoft, and David Maddock, went to X to express their unhappiness with the decision.
With Paul Tierney and Constantine Hatzidakis in charge at Stockley Park, you can expect conspiracy theories to abound – and not without reason, given Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp’s tough relationship with the disastrous combination.
Surely, our goal following the match against the Cherries will be to have the decision reversed retroactively before of our next match against Newcastle.
However, the decision to show Alexis MacAllister his first Premier League red card should, at the absolute least, prompt additional examination into the referees’ decision-making process.
