As much as it’s helped, having a midfielder at left back has hurt just as much, if not more throughout the entire season.

It’ll be interesting what they do. I wonder if the linesman was just trying to shrug off Robertson trying to grab him and it just went very badly.

If on purpose he obviously needs to find a new career. Very strange.

The thing is there's history with these officials

Paul Tierney/Constantine Hatzidakis were the ones involved in the 2-2 against Spurs last season where they ignored Harry Kane's tackle then sent Robertson off later in the match for doing the same thing Kane did. (Surprise, surprise and to be clear they were both blatant red card fouls - Robertson absolutely deserved that red card)

It gets beaten to death in here, but let's say it again. The officiating in this league, especially with a couple select referees is clown shoes most of the time. Every week it's something. This linesman gets zero benefit of the doubt from me, and Paul Tierney could have removed him for the 2nd half. Was the VAR sleeping or just ignoring what happened?
