It's the sort of embarrassing plea for acceptance you'd usually get from these out of town morons. Liverpool have got more than their own fair share.

Sadly the insistence on using VAR means that strict enforcement of dumb laws like these now take centre stage in almost every big game, regardless of whether they actually impact on play, and much to the delight of TV pundits and armchair fans everywhere. No wonder refs are getting it in the neck more and more.
