Just turned it on and it is absolutely the correct decision. You can't wave play on then ignore another foul just because. And Liverpool having a player suspended is better for us.
Well you can

Yes, if you don't want to play by the rules. But I'm not sure "let referees do whatever they like regardless of the rules*" is a great precedent.

I don't think the red will be overturned but it is only one match unfortunately.

The decision was correct, even if it may not seem quite fair.

It is rightly a red card for for the foul. However, the ball only went into the net because Haaland then reciprocated the foul.

Yeah, that's a good ending for us even in farcical circumstances.

There was no shit ref/VAR. Correct decision was given, and people who think they should have just ignored the rules because "reasons" are unhappy about it.

It was a clear red and should be a 3 game ban.


*I haven't seen it, but it's a Liverpool player so i'm right.
