Penalty correct. 2nd incident is bit of a push, below the neck - fact that he ended up in the crowd made it look worse than it was along with subsequent reactions. Would barely register elsewhere on the pitch. For me, sensible in a derby Cup tie when close to half time.Quite a few incident so far
Penalty is the correct call for me holding an opponent.
No idea how holgate has stayed on the pitch. Excessive force for me could have seriously injured firminho. Not even a yellow?
I think Holgate should have had at least Yellow for shoving into crowd and at least Yellow for man handling official
Firmino probable Yellow for charging with intent at holgate
Adopting an aggressive attitude.....intent is nothing to do with the LOTG
Thoughts on Madley physically intervening to stop Firmino doing something silly?
Very generous penalty.....yes there was some contact, but Liv player threw himself to the ground......not convinced.
Moss & Madley....talk about blind leading the blind.......Moss probably telling him that Holgate has to go, if not for the Firmino shove, then certainly for grabbing hold of Madley.....would love to have heard Madley's reasoning for not sending him? Clearly no respect for himself or his colleagues as players all around the country have just seen a player aggressively lay hands on a match official without any sanction.
Remember that moment when you are grabbed, pushed, shoved on a Sunday......and be sure to send an email to the FA & PGMOL thanking Madley for making it possible.
