đ¨đď¸ Roy Keane on Ryan Gravenberchâs Red Card Against Manchester City;
đŁď¸"Listen, Iâm sitting here absolutely flabbergasted by what Iâve just witnessed. We are talking about Liverpool versus Manchester City at Anfield. This isn't a pre-season kick-around, this isn't a mid-table dead-rubberâthis is as big as it gets in world football. Youâve got millions watching around the globe, two top-class teams going toe-to-toe, and the entire match gets ruined because the officials want to be the main event.
Look at the match context! Ryan Gravenberch was having one of his absolute best games in a Liverpool shirt. Heâs driving through the midfield, heâs testing Gianluigi Donnarumma with a cracking strike from range, and then literally seconds later, he makes a recovery challenge in the City half on JĂŠrĂŠmy Doku. Was it a foul? Yeah, fine, give a free-kick. But to whip out a second yellow card in the 62nd minute for that? It is an absolute disgrace.
The first yellow card early in the second half was soft enough as it was, but to issue a second yellowâeffectively killing the entire spectacleârequires a level of common sense and match management that these referees simply don't possess right now. Where is the game management? Where is the understanding of what is at stake? Referee Chris Kavanagh couldn't wait to get his card out. Itâs refereeing by a textbook without having a single clue about the emotion, intensity, or context of a massive Premier League fixture.
You treat a big game like a big game! You let the players fight it out on the pitch. You don't send a lad off for a minor collision on the halfway line when neither tackle warranted a sending off. And what happens? The moment Liverpool go down to ten men, the entire balance shifts. City take complete control, Erling Haaland scores two minutes later, Doku gets another, and the game is done.
The decision-making from the officials today was shocking. It robs the fans, it robs the players, and frankly, it ruins what should have been an iconic battle. They need to start applying some real football intelligence out there instead of hiding behind harsh whistle-blowing."

Last August, @DC_Police interviewed me under caution for posting 3 factual tweets copied from a news article about a former sergeant charged with harassment.
The College of Policing says suspects should receive updates every 28 days.
A year later, I've received none.
Why not?

This is well worth a read. Not so much for the P&R rebuttal but for the island perception of where real power lies and concerns over the numbers underpinning the GST argument.
