Prevented a goal scoring opportunity too.

If Ferguson was still managing and that happened to him the club would have made a list of all the things that happened then got the ref banned form their matches like they've done before. How come we're so gutless when the fouls are as disgusting as this and numerous per game with Oliver and co. Sick of it. And why arent we diving everywhere like the others do since you wont get a free unless you dive these days.

Szobo did a fair few dives in the game against the Bitters, but he is not as practiced as them and rarely won a free kick.

Some of those werent actual dives. But we must remember this is Oliver who wont even give us legitimate free kicks. Other refs probably will.

Both clubs (and Slot) charged.

Looks like Slots is for “acting in an improper manner” which sounds pretty subjective

“Everton, Liverpool and Arne Slot have been charged by the Football Association after the chaotic scenes at the end of Wednesday's Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
The clubs have been charged with failing to ensure their players "did not behave in an improper and/or provocative way" after the final whistle.
Liverpool head coach Slot is charged with having acted "in an improper manner and/or used insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour" towards referee Michael Oliver and one of his assistants, which led to the Dutchman being red-carded.
Slot's assistant Sipke Hulshoff, who was also sent off, faces a similar charge for his behaviour both before and after he was dismissed.
The clubs, Slot and Hulshoff have until Wednesday, 19 February to respond to the charges.”

And for the officials? Or are they immune?

Of course, they did not thing wrong or were in no way the catalyst for any fury...

It's utter bollocks as the audio evidence will be withheld and Slot will be convicted on Oliver's word on the matter. It's a farce

Surely they have to at least provide the evidence? If it is all down to Oliver’s ‘word’ **** ‘em sit in the dugout and call their ****ing bluff. If the ban of for a televised game they will soon get on with it, TV money trumps fragile officials egos!

Just say until the evidence is public we are not accepting the ban.

I am 101% confident the police would escort him out.

How? The ground belongs to Liverpool. It’s not a criminal offence and it would risk a large proportion of the 55k+ home fans kicking off.

The evidence is subjective, all Oliver has to say is that he felt Slot approached and spoke to him in an aggressive or intimidating way. It's all down to Oliver's subjective opinion. When you add the context that the refereeing performance was **** all game Slot felt a number of decisions went against us and seconds earlier a controversial decision went against us/Slot and cost us 2 points. I doubt anyone is in a position of authority is going to tell Oliver that was the wrong thing to do. The FA/PGMOL will back their man 100%

[Paul12]

Time to move on, and use this as extra motivation for the players and for us as the 12th man.

I almost feel sorry for Wolves and the inevitable furious backlash.
