It was such a blatant mistake during the Merseyside derby that we won’t even need to mention which moment in the game had Alan Shearer so angry.
Speaking on ‘The Rest Is Football’, the Geordie spoke about James Tarkowski’s tackle on Alexis Mac Allister:
“There’s a referee on the pitch, I understand he might not have seen it or it happened so quickly.
“Seriously, the guy in VAR, what on Earth is he thinking, saying, ‘yeah, that’s alright.’
“What? What the… oh, it makes me so angry.
“Honestly, we want this done correctly and we want it all to work but when you look at decisions like that, for the VAR to sit there and think, ‘yeah, that’s alright, you haven’t made an error, mate, you’re alright, I’m not even going to tell you.’
“Come on man, get a grip.”
With the VAR for the day being Paul Tierney, this was a clear tirade of abuse being directed at the official who has a history of mistakes against our club.
Paul Tierney was the centre of Alan Shearer’s comments
Referee, Sam Barrott, made an error but has an excuse and has a team of people to help him correct this from Stockley Park but it wasn’t the case.
The PGMOL have already admitted that a mistake was made in this moment, showcasing how inept the people in charge of our game our.
Keith Hackett, the former PGMOL boss, stated that this was ‘sheer incompetence of the highest order’ and it’s hard to find any football fan who disagrees.
It’s simply baffling that a person who is supposed to be one of the most trusted officials in the game, can miss such a blatant red card.

Regarding the blind, biased idiot on var he should be suspended/ demoted but nothing will happen , Howard Webb will say the right things Tierney will hid below the parapet and emerge again when he thinks it’s blown over.only in football is complete incompetence rewarded.
Tierney isn’t incompetent, he is over competent in cheating. Every Liverpool supporter knows this. It’s not so difficult. Keeping the masses focused on bread and circus. A competitive league sells and the FA seems to be trying to protect its brand. The FA under the guidance of the PGMOL know all too well this is done by design
Biased referees throughout the premier league take 2/3 times longer than their European counterparts and still get the decision wrong. Sack them all..
Paul Tierney……what an absolute oxygen thief!!!
Couple of things on this incident. Firstly, I actually find it refreshing that this sort of incompetence is now being highlighted, instead of pre-VAR when this sort of dubious decision making was dealt with by a shrug of the shoulders. Secondly, as this was a clear red card tackle, will Tarkowski get a three match ban?
No a hope 😕 ynwa.
An independent investigation is needed that is not normal the one guy who allegedly makes mistakes with the same team can not continue to have a job. This only fires controversy and the FA has no excuse.
How much money was paid to make that decision he is one fuckin corrupt match official get rid of him pole dancer
Tierney’s punishment for such a howler? Var official again for the Manchester derby. Make it make sense.🤔
Man city are all but guaranteed to get some sort of dodgy decision today.
