He certainly does first contact is top of calf the sock is then pulled down it’s no where near his heal until the end of the contact You could see the tear in his sock after he pull it upRakes down his calf? It makes slight contact with his heel. The type of contact that happens many times in every PL game and fuck all comes of it.
To be fair the Gordon red card is correct,I didn’t see the other challenge but some saying it’s scissors challenge which if it was then he should be off as well,they ref the game then change the interpretation depending who it is or more like which team it is for certain situations..Why do managers/clubs not call this red bias out. Just call it out and then keep calling it out again, and again. Two identical situations in both the Fulham/utd game and in today’s and on both occasions VAR has pulled back the play to re referee the game for the team in red yet brushed identical incidents for their opponents under the carpet. Scandalous corruption.
They obviously mean our current crop of players. Majority of the players that achieved these feats are goneYou talking about the team that did an unprecedented four peat, a treble - domestic and European - and won six out of the last PL titles would have shit themselves. Yeah right mate - jog on!
As was Gravenberch, which was much more cynical and more dangerous/more likely to cause an injury. See the differenceI can’t believe some on here think it’s not a red. It’s wreckless
If he’d gone down the back of John Stones calf you would all be up in arms
1st half highlights...
Sutton must be a LFC fan he appears to have so many clubs it’s untrueOnly positive on that half is not having Carragher on commentary, I hope thats the end of fans commentating on their teams.
Wouldn’t want to be a police horse round there laterGeordies have been in a frenzy all night.
Liverpool give up just as many changes as we do , teams just keep on missing those changes .We do tend to give up really good chances though due to the way we play.
Watching it live I thought it was a stupid challenge as he couldn’t get there, the fact he was running at full tilt probably sealed his fate.To be fair to him,he wouldn’t have been the only one to think that with that challenge. It did initially look like a yellow and then more like a red.
I’m not saying for one minute VAR isn’t inconsistent ….just saying that it was a moronic tackle by Gordon,worthy of a red card … VvD did well to show the constraint he didIssue is, they have done it and they weren't punished.
VAR is just picking and choosing which teams to punish, we've seen it all to often.
That was far more debatable than let's says the Henderson handball in the FA Cup Final, yet it conveniently went Liverpool's way.
Do you honestly think that handball in the final would have gone against Liverpool?
Only one of those deemed a clear and obvious error by var. Just cant be trusted anymore imo.
Was there a VAR check on this, btw? Can’t remember it being mentioned and if there was, it was over very quickly given how reckless it was.

Very little contact and he pulled out - yellow given. Clear and obvious error - I think not - the red upgrade just clear and obvious PL match fixing for me.In fairness to Van Dyke he took it in good spirit that could have been an awful injury
