I really don’t agree with that.
I didn't see the flag and thought it had been given at first.

They would almost certainly be engrossed in their tv monitors, drawing lines, praying to God they don't make an error!
Wow, 1 paragraph about Biss, 3 about liverpool... WTAF.Looks like Garth has put Bissouma in his team of the week, but get a load of his reasoning...if you can call it any kind of explanation whatsoever
"Yves Bissouma (Tottenham): For the second consecutive week Bissouma makes my team selection. The Malian was at the heart of Tottenham's performance against a hard-done-by Liverpool.
The decision by referee Simon Hooper to send off Curtis Jones was a poor one. At first glance you can be forgiven for thinking that the tackle was a bad one because you see Jones make contact with Bissouma.
However, the Liverpool's player's foot moves with the momentum of the ball, and that momentum then carries Jones's foot into Bissouma. Hooper should have seen this on the replay and didn't, which is most concerning - a yellow card was plenty.
No sooner do Liverpool feel the effect of one injustice when another one comes along, but the video assistant referee (VAR) remained conspicuously silent. Luiz Diaz's superb strike was ruled offside when you could see from the naked eye it was a perfectly good goal."
Who is in for second week in a row? - Garth Crooks' Team of the Week
Which players impressed our football pundit Garth Crooks enough to make his seventh Team of the Week?
Quite. I'm not sure what the accepted wording is, but surely after this, VAR needs to audibly confirm whatever decision has been reached, eg "Check complete. Offside." or "Check complete. Goal." To just say "Check complete" is asking for this kind of misunderstanding to happen again.
There is also a person at the end of this ire. Yes, he made a stupid mistake but he's being vilified in front on the country and accused of all sorts. That fella must feel horrendous and must never want to ref another game. He made a ridiculous mistake but the focus should be on how they change the system to avoid the possibility of a repeat.
Who needs enemies, eh?!
Yeah I agree. All those calling for him to be immediately sacked I’m sure wouldn’t be saying the same if they made a mistake at work and were fired. It was a massive screw up and something needs to be done to remove the human error as much as possible but so many are going OTT with their responses. We’re human. We’re stupid and make mistakes sometimes.
This is exactly it they are drawing lines to the millimeter and the ball is in a different place each check, sometimes it's touching the passers foot and others a foot away. Why don't people ever mention this ?
Both Chris Sutton and Robbie Savage on BBC Radio 606 said red card on Saturday and doubled down on that on Sunday as well.
All that these ex pro's from 20+ years ago are doing, is explaining why it wouldn't have been a red when they were playing. It's making it very clear why they are pundits and not coaches. The game has moved on but most of them haven't.Looks like Garth has put Bissouma in his team of the week, but get a load of his reasoning...if you can call it any kind of explanation whatsoever

Just for the record Robbie Savage on the BBC after the game said definite red card challenge.Looks like Garth has put Bissouma in his team of the week, but get a load of his reasoning...if you can call it any kind of explanation whatsoever
