The passings not half sloppy in this. Oh.. the goal was good now then...we'll never hear the end of this now.
Hang on - but I thought the 'Top 6' got all of the decisions for them?!

They'll go on about that all match now and no doubt Klopp will be in their dressing room half time
You just know that will get evened out.

I agree with your sentiment, and if the rule had an element of interpretation I am sure he wouldnt have been booked.
But it doesnt. Chances are, if he didnt book him, the ref would have got Likes from the normal football people, but pelters from his bosses.
Think the problem would be mate (no matter how tragic it was) a ref would have to refrain from giving any player a yellow if they took their tops off displaying a message of sympathy. Imagine today if the ref wouldn't have sent him off, and then a Cardiff player takes his shirt off displaying something like "Happy birthday mum" and the ref booked him, there would be loads of fuming.
I've always thought it was a daft rule anyway, as long as it's not aimed at the opposing fans, and it's not offensive, I don't see the problem.
Liverpool should be winning .....lel

The why isn't there VAR for this week is absolutely overloaded with entries between our penalty not given, another penalty not given for Leicester, a handball on the line by Cardiff and that offside for the RS. Madness this.
Mutants absolutely bossing this
The difference is though the ref knew the game was out of respect for the people who passed away with everything before the game. Everyone in the stadium knew about it. Not like it was just something that no one was going to expect when taking their top off, that is very different.
Saying Happy Birthday Mum is extremely different to what was fully known what was going to happen if they scored.

Totally agree mate, but would it be fair not to book Gray, then book a Cardiff player for doing it if one of them had done it, the ref would have had to throw the rule book out of the window for that one specific game. Maybe knowing the rules, and knowing they were going to do it, Leicester could have had a chat with the officials before the game. As I say though, the rule should be volleyed anyway.
