DECISION WILL MAKE KLOPP GO BONKERS!

JURGen KloPP will be going bonkers when he sees the replay of Matt Ritchie’s high foot. or maybe he will use it to get sadio Mane’s red card overturned. He will surely think about an appeal today.

Ritchie’s high foot was a very similar incident, but there were two different decisions and two different punishments.

newcastle’s Ritchie gets away with a yellow card and his team win 1-0 away from home — Mane gets a red, his team play with 10 men, then he gets a three-game ban! How is that correct?

you could argue that Ritchie’s was worse than Mane’s because it wasn’t in a goalscoring area. Mane made the challenge because he had to. His job is to score goals and this was a oneonone opportunity against Manchester City.

the inconsistency is what infuriates everyone in the game.

If one is red — and I don’t believe it was — the other should be, too. Within 24 hours, we have seen the decision-making of referees exposed. Mike Jones didn’t see the Ritchie tackle in the same light, but how can that be fair to Mane and liverpool?
