Official complaint launched over officiating
The bitters have launched an official complaint about refereeing they have received off the back of the astonishing and incredible decision by Kavanagh on VAR not to award them a stonewall penalty for handball in their weekend game v Man City
I don't think the ONE bad decision I know of that the bitters have received would usually be grounds to launch a complaint, but with the benefit of VAR there is simply no excuse whatsoever for Kavanagh to not have advised match referee Tierney to reconsider his position and look at the incident which was a clear as day handball
However this season pans out for the remainder, from our own perspective, being in the title race with Man City, looking at just 3 incidents in their games without even looking at 2 that have cost us points in our own, City have benefitted from 6 (SIX) points, 2 through being awarded a penalty for handball that wasn't handball a game they won 1-0 late on through that penalty, 2 through having a penalty awarded with nothing approaching meaningful contact, their opponents having a clear penalty denied in the same game, 2 through not having a penalty awarded against them in their weekend game against the bitters
In all three instances with VAR in operation, with the benefit of several angles, there is absolutely no plausible and reasonable excuse, whatsoever, for those incorrect decisions to have been made, NONE, no way apart from clear and deliberate bias, to explain those 3 absolutely appalling decisions away
I think both match officials should immediately cease to be involved in any Premier League game in any capacity, 4 of the 6 points were awarded courtesy of Jarred Gillett on VAR, 2 by Chris Kavanagh, the latter having significant 'history' in awarding incredibly dubious decisions in game involving LFC directly or indirectly
Both these officials are compromised, either financially or in a personal bias they hold and as such shouldn't ever officiate a Premier League game in any capacity in my opinion
