       Little time to move away? He stepped right in front of it
       🤣

       Would the second caution have been the type of offence which
       could potentially result in a sin bin in the future if IFAB's
       suggested idea becomes reality? (presumably 2nd yellows would
       still follow the same process as now.)

       Crystal Palace should count them very lucky that Joel Ward
       stayed on the pitch. A clearly reckless challenge which despite
       the goal should have been a second yellow

       many more decisions can go the Reds’ way?!  Absolutely horrific
       officiating.

       This angle shows Ayew committing the foul. Gomez is free and
       Liverpool players outnumber Palace defenders on this side of the
       pitch. The foul looks to be a perfect example of stopping a
       promising attack.

       Dermott would disagree with you..

       > Mr Madley wasn’t great today, as I said earlier, but it’s not
       costing Hodgson his job. Hyperbole at its greatest. 1-0 up with
       15 minutes left and a man down doesn’t automatically mean you
       lose. You can adapt your tactics.

       That’s a rather unfair comment about AT given his respected
       contributions on here down the years.
       [/quote]
       It would be if it was a dig at him. Granted, I thought his
       comments on this particular performance were particularly
       hyperbolic and not really warranted but that is his opinion.
       My point was, perhaps not made clearly enough, that 2 other
       commentators based the refereeing performance on a YC being
       issued to Roy Hodgson and, that the verdict of AT“, says it all”
       (without any other reasoning) and, to me, that is the barometer
       of nothing nor does it contribute to a good debate.
       As I said, despite being a member of this site from pretty much
       day one, I admit I’m more an observer than a contributor
       (perhaps, on this evidence, with good reason 😂) but I’ve
       seen plenty get - rightfully - pulled up on comments like “the
       ref was rubbish” but IMO the above comments had just as little
       meaning.

       I was at Anderlecht last night and the referee didn’t give a
       single caution for breaking up a promising attack (I’m not sure
       what the Liverpool yellow was for on the halfway line opposite
       the dugouts) despite four clear fouls by Union that did
       precisely that. I’m sure Mr. Ayew would be fuming if he saw it.
