I can't stand Lineker but glad to see he put Shearer (who I can't stand either) in his place "so all the bad decisions were the ones that went against Newcastle?"
Tbf this group of refs involved in this need to be looked at It’s ridiculous That list goes well beyond these last few games Someone wrote a massive breakdown about it on Fb Not opinions just facts It’s crazy man
Would imagine the four would be the initial one game plus three for swearing making it a total of four
it'd literally be virtually the first ever occurance. we have seen players waving their hands in dismissive gestures at the referee in this very game. we've seen many times a player who feels a yellow is stupid give a ref an earful to properly earn the card. the refs are only making a rid fir their backs here. we will give this clown an extremely hot reception at amfield and his every move will be questioned and undermined on line.
Inevitable imo, he clearly told both the referee and the fourth official to "****off" or said "****you". You just can't do that no matter how ludicrous the decision may or may not have been. Guess I can't really say much else though since I've been asking for referees to be mic'd up for years
Give over. If it’s a red card and a ban anytime someone says **** off then gonna be matches abandoned.
Guess that makes it alright then... He went over the top and was always going to face further punishment
We don’t know what he said Tbf? Calling the ref a **** was probably deserved given his performance lol
I don't think that's what Z meant tbf. He said Virgil was always going to have further punishment for the way he responded to the red, not send every player off who uses foul language. Virgil will have the opportunity to put his side forward but you can't argue with what he said, the cameras picked it up. Could be 1 game ban for the red extended to 2.
But if you punish him for swearing you have to punish them all? Or is it ok to swear at the ref in some circumstances but not others?
Then punish them all! They should respect the referee no matter what. The refereeing standard is another issue
