He kicked the ball away after the free kick was given.He definitely didn't - ineptitude and inconsistency are two words that come to mind.
Off the top of my head - Diaz pushing players without even trying to play for the ball, 3 times, one wasn't even a foul somehow.
Mac Allister was given license to kick and slap and there were no fouls given, let alone the deserved yellows.
Robertson was only given a yellow not for the pushes and persistent fouling, but for having a go at the ref apparently?
Their right back getting a yellow for the 3rd foul of the same kind, then as soon as he's about to receive a yellow for a clumsy/reckless challenge - Oliver gets cold hands and just warns him that his 5th foul is the last, so he can be subbed off.
Curtis Jones studs up challenge as soon as he comes on.
There's some on our side that were dubious as well, don't get me wrong, but Oliver was straight up their 12th man for about 70 minutes. If those decisions go against them, as they should because they go against us - Lindstrom's yellow was for nothing, Gueye figured out he can no longer mark anyone tightly as his was also bogus - we'd be playing against 9 men or less. Fully expected the ""PUSH"" on Konate to be given as well, even though calling it a push is hilarious and is only egregious if it suits them apparently
Tears are flowing and it's great for what it's worth. The football subreddit is just them crying wolf under the highlights from the game![]()
Why doesn't he just say from the outset 'OK, I support the RS and I'm well p'd off'?![]()

Ah so it wasn't the 2nd or 3rd foul he commits or the push in the back of a player who got past him - Oliver drew a line at "kicking the ball away".He kicked the ball away after the free kick was given.
I'll confess, I made a few gestures at the end*sits waiting for the “I saw them gestures they were making” shouts
Kind of sums up Oliver really. Lindstrom booked for asking for a yellow card for Mac Allister, Robertson booked for kicking the ball away,Jones and Doucoure booked for handbags. He's a petty referee.Ah so it wasn't the 2nd or 3rd foul he commits or the push in the back of a player who got past him - Oliver drew a line at "kicking the ball away".

What a bizarre article haha![]()

really odd for The Guardian to run that..Even Salah stunk the place out and ended up with an assist and a goal!!They'll be one of the worst title winning teams ever.
An appalling bunch of labourers + Salah.
