What utter bollocks, there was no malice whatsoever, he was just tripping him up.
I thought he chased him down and hacked him after being made to look stupid, that is the very definition of malicious, is it not?

Smith even said 'He didn't like that' but then changed his tune afterwards to it wasn't malicious but it was.

The studs part was probably an accident caused by the way the feet tangled after the hack/kick.

Everything always looks worse slowed down imo, and I don’t think he intended to hurt Jesus, just to catch his ankles to take him down. Then as you say the feet tangled which made it appear worse.
 
Shows the standard we get when we're happy with that performance.

Yes he was even but had one decision to deal with and he was never giving the raggy youth player a red for a foul which could have put Jesus out for months.

Taking out that one decision it's probably the most even officiating we've seen in one of our games.
 
How King stayed on the pitch I’ll never know and that dirty **** on Jesus should have gone too.

other than that he got everything right.

It didn't make it 'appear' worse; it highlighted just how bad it was.

Exactly
 
Best ref we’ve had in an age. Goes to show that a stand-in didn‘t get the memo.
Super Hooper might just have committed 'refereeing suicide' with his magnificent performance. That must be the first time since The Good Sheikh gave his money box a good rattle that we've enjoyed being reffed according that version of the LotG that are commonplace down The Swamp 'n Anfield.

Very refreshing performance apart from the ‘tackle’ on Jesus by Craig Carthorse

Just watching the Villa disallowed goal v Leicester.. one of the worst VAR decisions I’ve seen and guess whose the man in the middle ? Correct Mr Michael Oliver .. VAR and him definitely had 1 -1 Half time correct score with Ladbrokes .. it’s outrageous .Get rid of VAR it doesn’t work
