Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher has outlined why he thinks it was the WRONG decision to send off #LFC defender Andy Robertson at the weekend.

“I’ve had lots of time to look at this as you’d imagine in the last 48 hours,” Gallagher said on Sky Sports. “I didn’t think it was a red card at the time and I still don’t.

“Robertson doesn’t know he is coming and [Harry Wilson] nicks the ball. Is he in control of the ball? No. Is he going to gain control of the ball? Very, very doubtful, because the Liverpool player (Virgil van Dijk) will get there first. Is he moving towards goal? No.

“There’s too many variables for me. The “O” (in DOGSO) stands for obvious and not possible. I think if the referee had whistled [immediately] rather than letting it run, it’s a different decision.

“But Raul Jiminez has a shot and Van Dijk clears the ball. It adds a lot of complications to it but the more palatable decision would be a yellow card.”
