Surely van Dijk will get a further suspension, considering, he has abused the referee right on camera at a time where the FA are trying to stamp out the abuse.

Side note, pool fans what happened to VVD? Whenever I have seen him lately he is so rash/mistake prone yet he was the best defender in the prem not even a few seasons ago?

In no world is that a red. It's not even a foul, got the ball. So what you're not allowed to tackle now in case you touch the player too? Funny as it may be, football is a joke these days. Var and dog turd refereeing is killing any excitement in the game

The most obvious red card that, and the commentator can’t stop speaking about how that’s a yellow card at best.

Liverpool bias at its best. Now see that overturned during the week because of the media fallout

Newcastle are joyless. They'll probably settle for a 2-0 win when they could put them to the sword by 5 or 6 if they wanted to make a statement.

Two reds in three games for Liverpool, and it should really have been four if the rules of the game had been followed. They must have gotten so used to refs being lenient that they've started to adjust their play accordingly, and now the refs have finally started to call them on it (some of the time).

Yeah I’d say that is red. Through on goal and VvD first gets the player and then the ball.

All the ‘they’ll get away with it! or ‘imagine it happening to us!’ type comments are rather annoying though. So childish.

He didn't get the ball until he went through the player. Watch it again

Of course you are. You’re just not allowed to go through the man to get it, and you never have been.
