Slot questions referee decision after Palace goal Speaking via Liverpoolfc. com after the match, Slot didn’t hide his irritation at how the situation was handled. “Do referees only stop the game for head injuries at this time?
“[The] amount of times that players were pretending that they’re injured, not only head injuries, and the referees buy into this. It’s become a tactic in football. ” The Dutchman pointed to inconsistency in officiating, highlighting moments where play is stopped for far less serious incidents.
“The amount of times, even today, that the referee stopped the play… so, yeah, you can probably feel my big frustration about it. ” Slot even referenced a similar situation earlier in the season, where Alexis Mac Allister was left with five stitches after play continued, suggesting there’s a wider issue with how these moments are judged. Liverpool left frustrated despite victory While Glasner insisted the decision was correct , saying “I think that this was okay” , Slot believes the referee simply missed the situation as it unfolded.
“The only reason I can come up with is that the referee the moment he saved the ball [and] the ball went to a different position, he looked at that and the next moment he looks up and he sees that the goalkeeper is on the floor. ” He added: “That would be [the] only fair explanation why he didn’t stop the game, otherwise I think he should have stopped the game. ” That’s why VAR couldn’t intervene and why ex-refs like Mike Dean agree with the decision , though it was an unsporting moment from the visitors that didn’t need to happen or could have been rectified.
