‘Disgrace’ ‘Robbery…’ Liverpool fans and journalists furious at Martin Atkinson

Posted by

Martin Atkinson was appalling in the first-half at Old Trafford today.

The referee gave Manchester United all the 50/50 decisions and somehow didn’t give a foul to Liverpool when Victor Lindelof clearly kicked Divock Origi to win the ball back in the buildup to Marcus Rashford’s goal.

VAR then didn’t disallow it – which was equally ridiculous.

Then, the ref failed to see Lindelof fouling Sadio Mane in the buildup to the Senegalese’s disallowed goal.

Journalists such as Alexey Yaroshevsky and Paul Tomkins made their feelings on Twitter very clear – as did a plethora of Liverpool fans.

The reaction was universally angry – with many labelling Atkinson a ‘disgrace’ for what seemed tantamount to home bias.

It seems we may have to beat the refs at time this season, too.

Never mind. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are good enough to beat every other team in this league.
