Liverpool fans were happy after Alexis Mac Allister’s red card was overturned, but they urged for reform.
Following Liverpool’s victory over AFC Bournemouth, the Football Association (FA) decided to overturn Alexis Mac Allister’s red card, which has generated discussion.
In the 58th minute of the Reds’ 3-1 victory at Anfield, the Argentine received his marching orders, ending the Reds’ domestic Premier League season campaign.
Even though Liverpool was down to 10 men at the moment, Diogo Jota was able to tap in the rebound to give Jurgen Klopp’s team a two-goal lead. After surviving late attacks from Andoni Iraola’s team, the Reds went on to secure their first victory of the year.
However, the 24-year-old’s firing overshadowed Merseyside’s victory. After watching the video, Paul Tierney and Constantine Hatzidakis came to the decision that Thomas Bramall, the on-field referee, had not made a glaring error.
When it was announced on Tuesday that Mac Allister will not serve a three-match suspension, Liverpool supporters learned the good news they had been hoping for. As a result, Allister is now available for selection at St. James’ Park for Sunday’s match against Newcastle United.
Despite the positive news from Wembley Stadium, Reds agreed that the problem should have been rectified on the field during the match versus Cherries.
Fans started chatting in the article’s comments section after it was announced that Mac Allister would not serve his suspension.
“Can I ask how this is the end of the case?” asked Wakey67. Liverpool went on to win the game, but if they had drew or lost, they might not have been able to participate in European competition and enjoy the significant financial rewards that entails.
“The incident was reviewed by VAR and a red card was issued, but 72 hours (or hours) later, a different refereeing representative rules that it wasn’t. For other teams, it might entail relegation and a decline into lower leagues, from which recovery could take decades.
“A simple’sorry we got it wrong’ does not suffice.”
The issue, continued Dagethom, is that they constantly depend on one another. “For me at the time, it was red,” the ref muses. If I’m wrong, they’ll decide for me
So the referee concludes, “I must have been right; they didn’t change the decision!” The issue is simply a transfer of accountability from one party to another. The phrase “clear and obvious mistake” has to be replaced with “correct or incorrect.” I think you’ve been a bit severe here, friend, the VAR may say, there must be a chance for that.
It is obvious that there was never a sending off, remarked Ossie57. The VAR ought to have looked over the obvious error and helped the referee review it. The reason why this did not occur is unclear. Liverpool and Paul Tierney appear to be at odds with one another. There is controversy whenever he officiates a Liverpool game. Before he is, something needs to be settled.
