Referees Paul Tierney and John Brooks were 𝐍𝐎𝐓 assigned any games as main referees or VARs in either the PL or the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend.
Disastrous errors the pair made within a week:
𝙋𝙖𝙪𝙡 𝙏𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮:
1. Sent off Lisandro Martinez for the slightest touch on Calvert-Lewin's hair.
2. Failed to send off Brentford's Dango Ouattara for a similar offence on Fulham's Bassey.
𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨:
1. Was the VAR who recommended a review for Martinez’s red card.
2. Was the VAR for City vs Arsenal and failed to recommend a review for Gabriel’s apparent headbutt on Haaland.
I hope this is a message from PGMOL for the calamitous decisions they made.
