Why didn't he get a second yellow for dissent? Yet Dalot gets a soft red for the same thing. That's the question Ten Hag needs to ask in the post match interviews.
Nuñez clapping the ref after getting booked
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Because we ruined Michael Oliver's childhood by making his beloved Newcastle our bitch.
Oliver + Anfield = ultimate love story
Referees are required to be subjective, to look at Dalots reaction subjectively and concluded that it was dissent and not merely a player reacting to a wrong decision is insane, yes he was overzealous, but if you factor in the magnitude of the game and the pressure the player was under at that moment its hardly anything.
Nunez got away with it. Oliver probably saw the halftime footage and decided not to make the same mistake in the second half - next chance he got, he would make a stand against dissent to prove how tough he is. Then he saw Dalot. Easy meat 
- United Bad.
- The call Dalot was upset over was truly wrong, so they have to double down.
- Passive aggressive dissent is (for some reason) viewed more favourably.
It was just a remarkable coincidence that he felt the pressure to be over zealous when it was a United player involved.
Inconsistency. I doubt he remembers what Nunez did when he went to book Dalot again.
Oliver needed an excuse to add another minute on to added time so Liverpool could get the winner. Obviously Darwin doing what he did was irrelevant to the above.
Is Dalot the first player for that to happen to?
I can’t get over how much of a bad decision that is from the referee. It’s so incompetent it’s almost corruption.
It happened to Dunk a few weeks ago but he got a direct red card due to swearing at the ref.
It was the same with how cynical fouls were punished throughout the game as well. As soon as there's an opportunity to book a United player he doesn't hesitate, Pool not so much.
He wasn't as bad as usual yet still looked biased. I'd be trying to get him blocked from our games.

I remember Beckham sent off for clapping the ref but this is Oliver at Anfield, it was never going to happen.
Have we mentioned that in the same incident, Salah gave the card gesture to the ref?
He will get Artetaed, PGMOL don't take criticism positively. This will be part of the PL and nothing is going to happen.
Or the time when he kicked the ball away in the first half. Garnacho gets pulled back for a foul for a ever so slight push on TAA yet when they do the same against Antony it's all right.
These utter cnut referees are so biased against us.
Of course he wouldn't see that. He's fecking shit. Relegate the cnut to non-league. Shit twat!
Sorry, I was implying the player was under pressure at that moment, hence his reaction, not Oliver, Refs should never feel pressure.
Oliver’s a little cnut.
And he fecking won't. It annoys me so much how passive he, and by extension, we are.
Klopp and Arteta scream bloody murder and get apologies and refs scared of them. We meekly accept whatever shit is thrown our way.
We should lodge an official complaint. No matter how shit we currently are, reffing United is still high profile so lets see how they like getting less of those high profile games if we actually kicked up a stink about one or two of them.
For dissent maybe.
Too yellows simultaniously, though, Martinelli got marching orders 2 seasons ago for double foul in the same episode. No need to guess who the ref was.
Completely agree. Arteta and Klopp and Guardiola are always doing it and they never get punished, if anything the referees get put in their place by them. About time Ten Hag did the same.
Nunez also kicked the ball away after he fouls Jevans.
Said it at the time. That's a clear 2nd yellow that was ignored. Giving Dalot 2 yellows for what he did though is ridiculous.

100% he does
Ah, understood.
That one was justified though, Martinelli basically thought he had a free hit at someone because he knew a yellow was already coming his way. Today's was silly from Oliver.
In fairness leaving Nunez on was probably more of an advantage to us than him going off.
Still objectivley a shit decision though and then of course one of our players is sent off for less.

Aside from that: He's absolutely shite. I'm just shocked we didn't blow a 100 odd million on him.
Nunez was booked for kicking the ball away and definitely should have been booked a second time, either for the initial foul or for clapping afterwards, but have't we all already learned that we can't expect any sort of consistency from referees this season. It's never going to stop.
For those asking if Dalot is the first player this happened to, Mascherano was sent off against us at Old Trafford in '08 for two yellows for dissent but they were for different incidents about ten minutes apart as far as I remember.

Should have been sent off. Stupid challenge. Eyes on the player, no intention of playing the ball. Then smashes the ball away. The latter appears to be a rule that the referee enforces when they fancy it. I'm absolutely fuming about the Dalot sending off.
That one was so funny. He just wouldn't leave it.
85 million donkey. Gakpo was 45 million... and people say Antony was a waste of money
Yes! These Scouse bastards acting as if this guy has turned a corner. Not good enough.
He doesn’t clap the ref though . He turns his back on the ref after getting the yellow
That's not the full clip. He sarcastically claps the linesman (the tweet says referee, which isn't right) for a good thirty seconds and then continued to complain to the referee about why he got booked.
I didn't see the whole game, did Jonny pay him back in kind?
Should have given him the Drogba treatment.
