Konate 2nd would have been very soft
Player throws himself down, minimal contact and had lost possession anyway.
If they are yellows going to be 10 every game
It’s still a yellow.
I think everyone can agree that Konate should have been sent off, I do wonder if Dermot thinks he’s fooling anyone by his consistent use of “lucky” when it comes to these situations.
Needs a replay I think
After the howling error VAR made against Liverpool and Klopp’s replay comment you could tell a journalist was waiting for Liverpool to have a wrong decision go for them. I enjoyed the glee in the journos voice as he ironically asks, “Should the game be replayed?” It was even more enjoyable watching Klopp say, “What, of course not.” Like the journo was a complete idiot for suggesting it, which is what we all thought of Klopp originally.
Ref doing Everton a favour keeping konate on the pitch.
Liverpool play better with 10 men.
Replay anyone?
So what about Onana vs Wolves?
City lucking out after Akanji’s red this weekend. They should have two players suspended for multiple games, instead it’s just one 🤷🏻♂️
Not gonna complain over the pen, because I don’t even know what’s considered a handball anymore when that’s given but the non-call in the Spurs-United match somehow isn’t a handball ?
“The guy is put there because of his CV, he’s the best man for the job on the day it’s felt, that’s how the appointments are done.”
If these guys work in HR, there would be Zero unemployment in this world…
Refereeing is always about vibes of the game rather than being 100% technical. At least in England
ok Dermot
On the Maguire challenge:
He’s got to get the ball
The ref said no foul and VAR can’t get involved because it’s not clear and obvious
INCIDENT: Frustrated defender Jarrad Branthwaite bemoaned inconsistency in Premier League refereeing after claiming Everton were denied “a level playing field” in the Merseyside derby defeat at Anfield.
DERMOT’S VERDICT: Konate should have been sent off.
DERMOT SAYS: "Very lucky. There’s a few things - it’s so cynical [on Beto], he doesn’t make any attempt to play the ball
"Craig’s [Pawson] argument might be that he wasn’t going to get the ball, but Konate knew what he was doing.
“What summed it up was a minute later when they subbed him and that tells you the story.”
What is the difference between Manuel Akanji being shown a yellow and sent off for Manchester City against Brighton and Konate not?
"Consistency is individual. Rob Jones is consistent, he yellow carded him [Akanji] early, quite rightly, and does so here.
"We’ve all agreed that Konate’s should have been a second yellow card.
“You would hope not [the referee feeling the pressure of the game at Anfield]. The guy is put there because of his CV, he’s the best man for the job on the day it’s felt, that’s how the appointments are done.”
INCIDENT: Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by Arsenal on Saturday Night Football, but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was lucky to not give away another penalty…
DERMOT’S VERDICT: Sanchez can have no complaints.
DERMOT SAYS: "I think if a penalty is given, he [Sanchez] can’t argue. He’s nowhere near the ball. If the referee thought he caught his own man and cannoned into Jesus, I don’t know.
“But he’s nowhere near the ball and clattered into him.”
The amount of errors is just beyond rediculous.
Even your post has an error!
