The FA has not penalized Alexis Mac Allister for remarks he made on social media after Liverpool’s contentious loss to Tottenham.
Spurs defeated Jurgen Klopp’s team 2-1 despite having both Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off, as well as a true Luis Diaz goal that the VAR incorrectly chalked out for offside.
Following that tense match, Mac Allister left a scathing comment on a post on Instagram by teammate Cristian Romero of Argentina where he criticized the officials’ performance.
Romero noted in his post-victory celebration, “This team has amazing spirit, great heart. Always the same, collectively.
When you have 12 players, it is typical, Mac Allister said.
For remarks that “imply bias, and/or question the integrity of the referee, and/or are personal/offensive, and/or bring the game into disrepute,” the midfielder may have broken FA rules.
This Is Anfield is aware that the Argentine will not be punished, nevertheless.
Mac Allister’s punishment would have merely increased the high price of Liverpool’s trip to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
In addition, Jota will serve a one-game suspension despite a Premier League tribunal concluding that he shouldn’t have received a second yellow card at Spurs. Jones will begin a three-match suspension when the Reds travel to Brighton on Sunday.
Additionally, the FA has fined Liverpool £25,000 for bad behavior after they received more than six yellow cards.
