The pre-Wolves update the journalist just provided will break the hearts of Liverpool supporters.
It is well known that Paul Tierney and Liverpool continue to have a tense working relationship both on and off the field.
It’s a relationship that’s almost certain to be tested at the weekend with the official having been announced as taking charge of VAR duties for the Reds’ and Micheal Oliver in charge of upcoming clash with Wolves, as reported on X by the Echo’s Paul Gorst.
The Englishman failed to intervene to overturn Alexis Mac Allister’s red card for a 50-50 challenge with Ryan Christie during a rather contentious match against Bournemouth a few weeks prior, so the appointment is certain to be met with disapproval in the red half of Merseyside
It’s difficult to understand why Tierney is still permitted to cover Liverpool games given the recurring problems that arise in his officiating, even though we’d prefer to spend our time talking about football issues rather than debating the integrity of referees week after week.
We appreciate that problems with officials are rife in the English top-flight and setting a precedent where one referee isn’t allowed within a 10-mile radius of a particular club could be a situation that quickly spins out of control.
However, we don’t support the idea of just ignoring the problem and rewarding those responsible for it after they make repeated mistakes.
With the announcement of this match officials for Liverpool and wolves match fans and pundits have began to give their views about the officials and most critical will be the reds fans who are keen to watch again how it goes down,and what would be your own thought.
