199 - Limbs Then Lows at Liverpool

On Saturday, an enthralling encounter at Anfield was somewhat ruined by poor officiating throughout. Bournemouth succumbed to a 3-1 defeat on the day, but there were key moments at key times that played a big part in the game. With the game level at 1-1, the referee decided to award the home side a penalty which was dispatched via the rebound. A soft penalty to say the least, but did VAR get involved and inform the referee of his clear error? No. In the second half the ref seemingly "evened things up" when he gave Mac Allister his marching orders for a slightly mistimed lunge. In no world was it a red card offence! Did VAR get involved and inform the ref of his clear error? Again, no. Sam and Tom take a Second Look at the weekend's game, and ponder that reality that fans are often wondering what referee turns up on the day as opposed to which teams turn up...
