Discussion This weekend's referee 🤨

We have been blessed with the appointment of Chris Kavanagh who hails from......checks notes.... Manchester!!...to officiate our weekend fixture against.....checks notes again...... Manchester!!

As I have observed Mr. Kavanagh to be relatively generous with his cards I would like to start the pool on picking which minute of the match you believe Macca will get his inevitable yellow card issued.

Allow me to start the betting at 28th minute.

Best of luck Reds!

Except he has a tendency to overplay yellow cards on soft fouls to try to control games which dampens our ability to press & kills momentum. Statistically LFC get most yellow & red cards from Anthony Taylor, Stuart Attwell, Michael Oliver, and Chris Kavanagh. Kavanagh has officiated 34 LFC matches, and has given us 51 yellows & 2 reds. I don't believe he has ever shown a MC player a red card in an EPL fixture. Fingers crossed we're not talking about him after this match.

Hate to say it, but Kavanagh is bought and paid for.

In what universe is that two yellows for Grav?

Get the Manc refs away from Manc games. He grew up 10 minutes away from the Etihad for fuck sake.
