You'd hope he gives a straight red if that is the case
In the 94th minute of a Derby deep in the attacking thirdNo one knows what he said.
More than happy with 2 yellows here, especially considering the way he reacted over a throw in
I get 1 yellow. Fine with that. But red is so over the top imo.
This.
Perhaps. Still harsh
Dalot clearly says or does something after the first yellow that the camera angle doesn’t pick up
In theory you're right of course. But I don't think this is in keeping with what football expects or what's happened previously in the game.

It is just so unusual. The double yellow seems so weird. Considering basic dissent is rarely punished, plus the game context (time of offence and other punishable offences in the same match) and then - it can’t have been that bad or it would have been red. Plus it did come off Salah.
Obvs would love double dissent to be regular on TV. But I reckon there’s about a 3% chance this is the start of a new broom. More likely Oliver will lose credibility.

Liverpool fan but don’t think there was any need for a red there once again a big game and a referee is the talking point

Referee is the talking point because Liverpool were poor and Utd sat back.Liverpool fan but don’t think there was any need for a red there once again a big game and a referee is the talking point
Nice to see someone at the elite level take a stance. They just need to be more consistent with it
Yes. This. If only they could maintain consistency

Nope sorry not for me many on here cover for poor decision but I will put bias aside and call that as what it was a poor lack of judgement.
If you get a caution for throwing your arm towards the referee, only to then do exactly the same gesture after you have been shown the yellow card, you have rocks for brains. It's like putting your hand on a hot BBQ, thinking wow that hurt, then doing exactly the same again 10 seconds later.
The Nunez one is a little different as it isn't as obviously dissent, an argument could be made that he is congratulation Stu Burt on a good decision. We all know he wasn't, but it makes it more subjective. Plus it wasn't in 2nd half stoppage time, and rightly or wrongly he would have been castigated after "he had ruined the game" for sending a team down to 10 players in the first half.

And here lies the issue. MO is well within his right to double caution if he feels appropriate, you can see Dalots reaction so it can be sold. However, it won’t happen next week or the weeks after that, MO himself didn’t even take an opportunity for it 45 minutes prior. Consistency is the problem, not this singular decision
Seriously?

Like the Arsenal City game the second yellow would have been too early for MO to give it. Stoppage time second half game over, MO can't be blamed for spoiling the game.- Status
