Ref watch shock horror

[Bill2]

Tete was absolutely assaulted by Gomez- you had shocked liverpool players genuinely asking the ref why they hadn't been given a penalty. It's laughable, but these teams seem to get away with it.

I thought Kenny was fouled as they scored there 1st goal, the Liverpool player clearly pulls his arm causing him to fall.

However the ball was present on this occasion thus possibly denying a goal scoring opportunity , hence the red card .

But, as your quote of Dermot Gallagher points out: '... the [first] 'O' [in DOGSO] stands for obvious and not possible.'

By your own interpretation, should it not have been a yellow card?

[SuffolkWhite]

There are many grey areas in football and Ref's plus var can only view it from a human perspective. We all know that generally the Ref's appear to Favor bigger clubs where possible.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Some referees look almost in awe of big clubs, and their contentious decisions will generally favour the bigger clubs.
As it's easier and clearly also without courage to upset the smaller clubs as opposed to facing the wrath of the bigger clubs.
So football snobbery does not only control the media, its tentacles actually envelope through the Referees Association, the actual body that is supposed to be impartial to guarantee a level playing field.
Once again the establishment is exposed by research and the gathering of information to be as bent as a banana, or for the more sensitive amongst us corrupt, no surprises there.
If you dig deeper you will find examples of a conflict of interest in many outlets.
In fact examples are basically staring us in the face if we pay enough attention.
