Referees' Performances | 2025/26

I might have missed what the actual booking was for then. I saw the replay where Savinho beat their player and then hit the ball around the linesman, went off the pitch and picked it up again and subconsciously fended off the linesman?

He blamed the assistant for getting in his way then did an angry gesture at the assistant.

Watching on the telly I thought he did ok. I know that isn't always a good spot to view a refs actions tho.

Could have used his yellow a bit more. VAR should have jumped in on the Doku foul.

That was a horrible foul on Doku and should have been punished with a straight red. I thought Savinho deserved a yellow but O'Reilly didn't. The referee was ok other than that.

Wasn't just an angry gesture, he actually pushed him onto the pitch. Can't put your hands on the officials no matter how inept they are.

It was the gesture afterward that got him the card, not the push.
 
Did bis best not to give the penalty, he should have just looked at the big screen

And how did Van Hairnet not get booked?

He didn’t though. He needed VAR 100% to get that call, which he then gave the decision after watching the telly.

The decisions we got today and the ones that went against them have upset scousers to the point they’re screaming the world is against them. That just rounds up a perfect day for me.
 
After the refusal to award a penalty straight away I feared this would be a ref reluctant to give anything, the decision seemed like a stone Waller to me in the south stand and couldnt believe the ref didn't give it, I felt like he was waiting for the advantage to see if we would score then give it but sid nothing. It seemed like an example of a ref leaning on VAR to make the decision for him which i don't have an issue with but the stupid rules of not wanting to re-ref the game and it needing to be a clear and obvious error means that they expect the ref not to lean on var and act as if they made their decision without considering var which isn't correct.

To be entirely fair, it was not as obvious as I thought on the replays but still a clear pen. Felt like the ref was fair after that. Didn't go overboard with the cards and didnt have too many big decisions to make after it. No complaints.

The disallowed goal, Trying to look at it objectively, I'd be livid if it was disallowed against us. I don't think the argument about it impeding donnarumma stands up in this particular instance, but if he is having to duck out of the way, it means he is directly in line with the ball and so realistically he is affecting play from an offside position.

Any keeper can say he cannot react to the ball until it has gone beyond the offside player and for that reason he is impacting the keepers ability to save it. That is fair reasoning but I dont think that is actually the rule though so its probably one of those where it has been disallowed for something that makes sense but isn't actually in the rules. I'd argue it should be. I also dont think it goes the same way if the linesman doesnt flag for it in abither example of them not wanting to go against initial decisions resulting in different outcomes. We definitely got the rub of the green today.

Robertson offside all day. If he had moved away from the keeper and not ducked it’s not offside. But he remained in front of the keeper and ducked his head and the ball went through the gap he left. Absolutely 100 pc offside based on the rules. Slott is just desperate and so is Carragher.
