Just saw a replay of Oldham v Burton in the FA cup
The keeper clearly handles the ball outside the box, aka Allison yesterday
Verdict?
Yellow card
Just sayin'

No it isn't. It is a yellow card offence. It becomes a red card offence if it prevents a clear goalscoring opportunity.

No complaints from Alisson or the Liverpool team. Not sure what the issue is. It's a red card

I think the op point is inconsistent refereeing.
if have sent off alisson too. no issue there

It's not an issue
I'm just highlighting the lack of consistency in what are 2 identical cases

what was the game situation in the cup?
maybe that ref didn't want to ruin the game?
Atkinson was only too delighted. you could tell by how he shut it all down. normally he's just the type to wave the player off arrogantly.
his antics after were then classic Atkinson sticking it to the big team to show who's boss.
