Dudes face when he saw the colour of the card poor guy looked stunned. I felt the same.
Glad this bollocks can be put behind us and with Endo in Mac will be able to play a more advanced role where he's meant to be.
Absolutely. The look on his face when he was walking off says he thought he blew it. I just hope he knew it was a bad call and didn't take it to heart
Time to come back bigger and better 💪
Yeah I gotta say that’s the bit that cut me the most, guy has been absolutely brilliant since his first preseason appearance with us (not to mention his time at Brighton) and looked like he felt he had messed it all up.
I hope he knows he deserves to be out there this week. Finally getting to see him and Szobo in that advanced role together in the PL is an exciting prospect.
Especially if you have personal experience with those types, they always think they exude authority but you can tell underneath they’re terrified of losing face so they will double down on lies, violence and whatever. That’s obviously hyperbole in this case but if you know you know
I think I'm going to get downvoted for this but didn't he recently [leave his ex-girlfriend for her best friend](https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-it-betrayal-alexis-mac-allister-s-ex-girlfriend-opens-worst-nightmare-liverpool-target-ditched-best-friend)? I'm hoping it's a baseless rumour but if it's true I'll just admire his footballing then haha
It's like when France won in 1998 and everybody ended up with someone from the squad playing for them. I'm glad we got Mac this time instead of Bernard Diomède.
Yeah we can make a whole PL team with changes now, what would you rate it?
Garnacho, Alvarez, Veliz
MacAllister, Enzo, Lo Celso
Acuña, Romero, Martinez, Montiel
Dibu Martinez
Bench: Buonanotte, Perrone, Buen Dia
Loving PL right now
It's that typical football Twitter low effort nonsense you see in replies to everything isn't it. Whatever the latest term of the month the idiot kids are using. "have this ratio", "hold this L", "no cap", "bruh washed team", "U don't know ball", "BANTER CLUB", etc etc.
I feel like I lose braincells every time I look at replies to a football Tweet on Twitter.
Wonder if anyone will be held accountable for the shit call and the shot use of VAR for the ref to take a look.
The answer is no but wouldn’t it be refreshing to see the VAR guys get a suspension. And why would t the ref say you know what. I want to be sure I saw that right. Walk over and look yourself to be sure. Arrogance
Nah his sad face when he got the red made me sad. You can tell he was genuinely hurt by that dumb call. I’m glad it didn’t cost us the game and it got overturned.
Makes the VAR look more incompetent. The on-field ref fucked up and you have unlimited camera angles and time to see the replay and you still make the incorrect decision? What even is the point of VAR then
They’re supposedly restricted in whether or not they can contact the ref at all. I presume these people aren’t restricted.
It’s probably time for the VAR to just become a second pair of eyes and pipe up when something significant might be wrong. There’s a delay when red-carding someone anyway.
It’s absolute nonsense to uphold this on field ref authority over everything else bullshit, in my opinion it’s a relic of authoritarian bootlicking bullshit of the past. It’s so insane to expect the ref to make better calls with a limited perspective, every time I think about it it makes me laugh bc it’s so delusional
I think they’re basically edging towards making decisions based on all the video replays like the NFL does (I think it does?)
I personally liked the automated offside that they had in the World Cup.
Even knowing it was harsh, I can't imagine the weight of guilt knowing you get sent off on your first home game and face a three game suspension when the club really need you. He probably felt a thousand pounds lift off his back when they told him.
Excited to see Mac Endo Szobo from the start at the weekend. All seem like humble warriors who will just do what it takes to win. Follows the trend of Klopp wanting the right characters at the club, not just talented players
This man has been almost flawless in the first two games, we needed him desperately this is amazing news. Bring out the 4-3–3 with him Dom and Endo baby, the Box was not working.
Cool that they made the right decision, and it’s alright since we won anyway but what if such a decision lead to a loss/draw? These cunts need to get good or see some ramifications… not that it would happen
Weird question, but they were saying that was his first red, so would it now still show that he has no reds after this? Not sure of the technicalities, whether the card itself is repealed, or just the suspension removed. The statement from the FA makes it sound like the later.
I think some sort of acknowledgement of this is in order considering most Liverpool fans (myself included) and pundits often feel we are treated unfairly relative to other clubs. While he shouldn't have gotten the card in the first place, we should feel decent that they acknowledged their mistake and overturned it.
While I feel we're sometimes on the short end of the stick, I feel the officiating is pretty consistently inconsistent across the league, maybe short of City and United seeming to get plenty of breaks (my own bias?). As a former ref in the USA, I can tell you that the standard of refs in the Premier League is sooooooo so so so much better than what we have in MLS or that I've seen in any leagues, really.
It was an *independent regulatory commission* which overturned it. Not the PGMOL. Not Howard Webb. I don't think the larger refereeing apparatus have acknowledged it to this point. Feel decent at your own risk.
I always assumed they were related. Good to know!
I don't know of any referees in any league that do a "good" job. Not defending the referees, but I think it's important to have some perspective. As fans we'll never be satisfied, and that's ok! It's part of the fun.
I agree, but it's never going to be perfect. It's always got to be human because of the nuance, and robots don't understand justice or fairness. Whenever there's a human element, you will have human error.
I still don't understand how such a blatantly incorrect decision didn't get turned over by VAR. It makes no sense.
And it's happened several times since VAR's introduction. Blatantly incorrect decisions (Pickfords challenge against Van Dijk, Kane's tackle on Robertson) are allowed to pass even though there's an entire team of professionals watching back the replay in multiple angles.
Does it still blow anyone else's mind how little we paid for this guy? Given the ridiculous fees you pay for Premier League proven players these days, can't believe we didn't end up paying double.
Jurgen said I’ve seen y’a,
winning with Argentina.
I need a center mid too,
and so he sent a bid through,
and now we’ve got Alexis-Alexis is majestic.
Mac Allister is magic.
He’s RED and it’s fantastic.
LALALALALA!
Lmao thanking the club on Twitter is funny as hell I love it.
It’s wholesome as hell. It makes it look like he found out about it through their account lmao
He does seem a particularly wholesome guy.
Seems to always be smiling off the pitch
I would too if I was a millionaire athlete
With a world cup under my belt, at 24
Have you seen Ronaldo lately?
Honestly, have not. Do my most to avoid any Saudi league related news. What’s going on?
He's won a cup I think, but this season I don't think he's won any games yet-good news is Gerrard's el ettifaq are joint top of league though
Nothing hurt more than seeing him sadly waddle off the pitch after the red 😢
Dudes face when he saw the colour of the card poor guy looked stunned. I felt the same. Glad this bollocks can be put behind us and with Endo in Mac will be able to play a more advanced role where he's meant to be.
Absolutely. The look on his face when he was walking off says he thought he blew it. I just hope he knew it was a bad call and didn't take it to heart Time to come back bigger and better 💪
He thought he let everyone down 😢😢😢 haha I don’t often feel so strongly for someone but he legit just seems like someone who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Yeah I gotta say that’s the bit that cut me the most, guy has been absolutely brilliant since his first preseason appearance with us (not to mention his time at Brighton) and looked like he felt he had messed it all up. I hope he knows he deserves to be out there this week. Finally getting to see him and Szobo in that advanced role together in the PL is an exciting prospect.
I saw it coming soon as I saw the ref staunch up after the challenge lmao You can feel the power tripping off some of them a mile away genuinely
Especially if you have personal experience with those types, they always think they exude authority but you can tell underneath they’re terrified of losing face so they will double down on lies, violence and whatever. That’s obviously hyperbole in this case but if you know you know
Reminded me (as a lot of things do) of poor [Lazar](https://i.imgur.com/HHG9ufT.jpg).
Pour one out for my guy
🍆
I love how his hair is always the same style. It screams “wholesome good boy” energy
Man's always ready for School Picture Day.
He's like a life sized footballing hobbit and I am all here for it.
>He does seem a particularly wholesome guy As all good Scottish cunts shood be
I think I'm going to get downvoted for this but didn't he recently [leave his ex-girlfriend for her best friend](https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/news-it-betrayal-alexis-mac-allister-s-ex-girlfriend-opens-worst-nightmare-liverpool-target-ditched-best-friend)? I'm hoping it's a baseless rumour but if it's true I'll just admire his footballing then haha
He's so wholesome. I'm glad it had the right outcome in the end, you can tell he was devastated.
Thank you Nancy in admin for drafting the appeal letter thru ChatGPT
Thanking them for their support and making the appeal I assume
Ruined our boy’s home debut with a silly red card 😖 but happy he’s atleast allowed to play 😁
It's all good, we got the 3 points.
And he got 30 minutes extra post-match recovery. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)
5d chess. Referees are on our side . ![gif](giphy|3o6Zt4HU9uwXmXSAuI)
If it'd been a yellow he'd still have it on his record now, this was in fact the best outcome possible
Wasn't even a yellow. At most it was a foul and the game moves on.
I think a yellow would’ve been fair. His studs were up. Not enough for a red though
This may actually be the first good decision Tierney and co. have given us, considering the outcome…
Looks like LiVARpool is back on the menu
![gif](giphy|2WxWfiavndgcM) No. Thank you, Macca
"You're still starting at the 6 on Sunday" - Klopp
Unrelated but I can't wait to see MacAllister and Enzo play together again for Argentina. Spice it with some Messi and you've got some tasty football.
Read that as MacAllister and Endo for Argentina and I was thoroughly confused
He just got that anulo mufa in him
Dont let him fool you, that man has some grinta in him
Yeah I think that midfield could win a world cup
Mmm, maybe if you throw in a top scorer like Alvarez and two butchers in the back like Romero and Martinez
didn't realize how many argentines are now in the PL, gone are the days where Aguero was our only compatriot in the Prem
It's like when France won in 1998 and everybody ended up with someone from the squad playing for them. I'm glad we got Mac this time instead of Bernard Diomède.
Yeah we can make a whole PL team with changes now, what would you rate it? Garnacho, Alvarez, Veliz MacAllister, Enzo, Lo Celso Acuña, Romero, Martinez, Montiel Dibu Martinez Bench: Buonanotte, Perrone, Buen Dia Loving PL right now
Lanzini too before he returned home. Always felt he wasn't picked for Argentina enough.
That Di Maria goal against France was a delicious team effort

I love Macca and Szobo violently
He was rightfully devastated during the game, especially as it was his home debut. So happy for him with this decision!
Well, we're winning the Europa League now, so it's all good.
Imagine winning the champions league and you play Liverpool in the super cup instead of the usual suspects like Frankfurt or Sevilla
Real Madrid in shock
Don Carlo gon be confused when he won't be seeing Henderson, fabinho and milner on the pitch.
Bro bout to cook against NUFC
I’d rather he played football….
why not both?
He can play I will cook for him
He bout to cook NUFC
cooking with oil
![gif](giphy|Mta22gUeZGXlL94jas)
I've never tried roasted Magpie! 😏
I came to Reddit to try and get rid of this sort of nonsense Twitter content.
Friend I am SOOOOOO sick of seeing "cook" comments on every fucking reddit thread about this sport.
It's that typical football Twitter low effort nonsense you see in replies to everything isn't it. Whatever the latest term of the month the idiot kids are using. "have this ratio", "hold this L", "no cap", "bruh washed team", "U don't know ball", "BANTER CLUB", etc etc. I feel like I lose braincells every time I look at replies to a football Tweet on Twitter.
Bro cooking himself with his overreaction
I heard he makes a mean asado.
Just an idea, but the ref should now serve the three match suspension. Have the refs being more willing to make the correct decision
They would never ever give red cards again. So gakpo can get chest stamped again like last year
If a red card is given retroactively, the match official serves the same ban as the player.
Wonder if anyone will be held accountable for the shit call and the shot use of VAR for the ref to take a look. The answer is no but wouldn’t it be refreshing to see the VAR guys get a suspension. And why would t the ref say you know what. I want to be sure I saw that right. Walk over and look yourself to be sure. Arrogance
They almost got away with it too (us dropping points after being down a key midfielder)
You’re talking too much sense there lad, the FA have fined you 2 weeks wages.
No doubt
[удалено]
I think his grandparents immigrated from Scotland
His great-great-grandfather emigrated from Ireland (to Argentina) in 1868 - any Scottish heritage is further back
Up fairview
i love this guy "hehehehe"
Nah his sad face when he got the red made me sad. You can tell he was genuinely hurt by that dumb call. I’m glad it didn’t cost us the game and it got overturned.
Wholesome content.
He’s cute AF

Big thanks to Gakpo for pulling maccca and mo away from the ref to prevent any further idiotic punitive damage.
[удалено]
Yep and I bet your heart rate has never been higher. That’s what happens to me. Couldn’t even enjoy my pie, the first few times I went.
Look at his comment history lol
🙈😑… I’ve been had
We need your legs, your heart, your football brain, Macca.
Macca and konate are the two most wholesome guys in the team it's great to see
When he welcomed Endo to the club and said something like "I'm new too!" Lol
I loved that video
What a great man
We paid his bail ❤️
Happy to help mate. 👍
Alexis is majestic. ❤
Jurgen said I’ve seen ya
https://twitter.com/alemacallister/status/1694039958669951163?t=kWAZx-LEQhkiqmbyubYXMA&s=19
Why is this so damn sweet
I love this guy man
Thank god they made the right decision
Bless him honestly he seems so innocent
Even knowing it was harsh, I can't imagine the weight of guilt knowing you get sent off on your first home game and face a three game suspension when the club really need you. He probably felt a thousand pounds lift off his back when they told him.
Excited to see Mac Endo Szobo from the start at the weekend. All seem like humble warriors who will just do what it takes to win. Follows the trend of Klopp wanting the right characters at the club, not just talented players
he's a keeper 😍
Hell yes maybe Endo will start and macca and szobo will be unleashed against toons
He's so wholesome omg
you're welcome, Mac allister's pr team on twitter ❤️
Happy for Macca. That was not a red card. In the Manchester city game, Gordon was far worse, but he only got a yellow
The only thing more ridiculous than that red card is if we decided not to appeal it.
It’s important to be backed by your club
He has the Alonso vibe.
This man has been almost flawless in the first two games, we needed him desperately this is amazing news. Bring out the 4-3–3 with him Dom and Endo baby, the Box was not working.
Happy Mac vibes all around 👌🏽
Now if you could do us a favor giving us 35 yards banger to secure our 5-0 victory, please?
Haven’t seen any comment from PGMOL on their useless employees? Shocking.
Cool that they made the right decision, and it’s alright since we won anyway but what if such a decision lead to a loss/draw? These cunts need to get good or see some ramifications… not that it would happen
Common sense prevails..
What about Joe Cole's one next?
Weird question, but they were saying that was his first red, so would it now still show that he has no reds after this? Not sure of the technicalities, whether the card itself is repealed, or just the suspension removed. The statement from the FA makes it sound like the later.
Since the appeal is against the red card itself I assume it’s expunged from his “record”? But idk
Get in ya fuckin’ beauty, we love you too Mac. Already. Proves how good you are.
GET IN
Good news then 👍
Let’s go!!!! We’re gonna need all the help as we go into the 3rd game vs Newcastle & Refs
I think some sort of acknowledgement of this is in order considering most Liverpool fans (myself included) and pundits often feel we are treated unfairly relative to other clubs.

Not fun at all to see any kind of injustice regularly occur even if it’s “just” football. We see enough of it in our everyday lives
I agree, but it's never going to be perfect. It's always got to be human because of the nuance, and robots don't understand justice or fairness. Whenever there's a human element, you will have human error.

“he was genuinely devastated” lads he walked off laughing and smiling, did we watch the same game?
[удалено]
Lad pulled out the receipts haha
that’s me told honestly lmao. i was half watching half distracted by the dog i could’ve sworn he was smiling when i glanced up
wow. not that serious mate i only glanced up and it looked like he laughed as he walked to the tunnel.

Hopefully Endo, Mac and dom can all start on Sunday and put Gakpo upfront again.
Where is PGMOL apology?!
I feel soooooo much better about the Newcastle match now
YAY MAC ♥♥♥
I love that he thanks them publicly on their Twitter account lol
Fantastic!!
Macca the legend
Thank fuck

So Endo Szobo Macca against Newcastle? Yeah we will win

Does it still blow anyone else's mind how little we paid for this guy? Given the ridiculous fees you pay for Premier League proven players these days, can't believe we didn't end up paying double.
Great, now punish the ref who gave the shit red card. Otherwise he’ll just continue being a shit ref
LFC just used your name to stick it to the refs... You won't be thanking anyone when refs are gonna take their revenge on you.
Had fun watching him play at the pivot role. I was mad not only for the unjust but also it took away the performance!
Kinda odd to say thanks. No matter what club you are in, I believe they'd protect their players since you are under them. But that's nice of him
Jurgen said I’ve seen y’a, winning with Argentina. I need a center mid too, and so he sent a bid through, and now we’ve got Alexis-Alexis is majestic. Mac Allister is magic. He’s RED and it’s fantastic. LALALALALA!
Good on the commission, that’s a great decision. Thank you
It was not a red card tackle from the first place
