It didn’t make a difference to the result or anything but he booked Courtois for time wasting in injury time and then added no extra time for it. It’s infuriating. He’s acknowledged that it was happening and did nothing about it. The yellow card is no punishment at all.

He loves the spotlight doesn't he?
The bestest, the greatest. Make a film about him. The title could be "Always a mistake in him", and the follow up "Multiple mistakes in him"
He's probably the only ref I have a genuine issue with. Making shite decisions is one thing but he's such a drama queen all the time.
Needs a good slap.

It will all be in the movie, mate.
He'd lost the game for the few mins leading up to the penalty and was itching to make a big call.
It was a clear penalty. Don't let your bias get in the way.
I think it was a penalty too, and the red card later on was definitely warranted.
Agreed.
Agree with the pen, not the red card.
I'm unsure tbh, he could have got the ball if he was decent, it wasnt a clear hack to stop him. (I reckon I could have touched the ball or been close with his pace)
Grey area of rules
The man is a bonafide, attention-seeking, media-pleasing cretin.
I think the penalty could go either way.
Arguing against the red card is hard, imo.

Is that based on Salah losing control of the ball before the contact? I'll need to see it again but I've been told he wasn't in possession of the ball, which I missed.
Useless ref. Any time the wind blew and a palace player went down it was a foul. The only two decisions he got right were the penalty and red card.
I think it was like 80:20 on the pen, and the red card should be 80:20 too if VAR was implemented. But in real time if a ref calls the foul that's always gonna be a red card since it's pretty much impossible to see that Salah might not be in control of the ball anymore.
Bullshit. You're the ones wumming saying it was even a close call either decision. I'm not biting.
The Premier League needs VAR. It will expose ref's like Oliver.
Totally agree.
shite ref
peno was a peno evn though salah dived (delayed reaction when he realised he couldnt shoot)
do not think it was a red based on the touch by salah was a foul
everything else he got right I think as much as i don'tl ike him

Best ref in the league.
Yeah, from what I remember. Still a foul but the GK already picked up the loose ball so I thought a red was too harsh.
Thought the foul and yellow card he gave to van Aanholt was just a flat out wrong decision and pulled back Palace when they time and space on the counter.
Absolute shower of shit.
Not really his fault. Awful from the cnut linesman.
Absolute joke of a referee.
Why blame him? Blame his fecking assistant.
Oliver is shite but that bullshit call came from the lino.
Also that fat feck Phil Dowd in the studio said it was the right call

Was it even handball? We saw one decent angle and it looked like it was his chest / shoulder.
Not his fault there, no idea what the linesman saw. Of course, not getting a decent replay doesn't help. I'm watching NBC who are contractually obliged to agree with the ref no matter what actually happens, so I can't tell. Looked very harsh to me.

Having a referee in the studio is the most pointless thing ever. They’re the tightest fraternity in the world.
Yep, don't think I've ever heard one of them saying a decision was wrong.

That's why this feature will never be of any value, if it was around for Suarez biting Ivanovic then they'd class it as a clean piece of play.
Former ref protecting refs shouldn't be a shock.
Close 2nd to Police
What a fecking pillock.
He is a cnut. Hadnt even seen it i bet and just gave it. Liked to give soft pens for home teams, cnut
The only ref I legitimately feel cheats a team.
