SSN announces Maschereno admits the FA's charge of misconduct. This is a good thing, as it should stop any arguing about whether the Ref was right to send him off or not. No contest.

To be fair, as a manager he's not the type to get at the ref which is what he's saying.

Wasn't he complaining just the other week about how the refs didn't favour Sunderland with the big decisions?

Mascherano commited a worse foul (against Gardner) in the first few minutes of our game

The weak ref didn't book him - pity as it could easily have changed the game

Campo, Nolan would have been carded before the player had hit the deck

So, its true

Refs in inconsistency and favouring the bigger club shocker

Fact is it aint often Liverpool are on the wrong end of the equation, so when it happens its an issue for the UN

I suppose all these Reading players were booked today, then?

No? Oh, you do surprise me.

I agree that they should have been, if they raced 30 yards to repeatedly tell the ref to f*ck off.

Absolutely. For all we know from that photo, old Battenburg might have actually called them together. He probably hasn't mind you, but you can't tell as to whether or not they're giving him some stick either.

A law that only applies to cheating Scouse shitebag teams obviously. Never mind, eh?

I'd have booked Warnock immediately for earwiggin' on Reading's team huddle.

Come on Bruce, I realise you're talking tongue in cheek, but it's obvious what's going on.

Did Mikel get booked for running after the ref and screaming at him for not giving a free-kick last night in the Everton game? Didn't think so, cos that's obviously not dissent...

It's a farce.

I didn't see the incident. Did he say 'f*ck off' four times to the ref?

Irrelevant, as that's not what Mascherano got booked for.

really? It had no part to play in the ref's decision?

Unless he was sent off for persistent infringement, then it had no part in his second yellow, which was dissent. There's no such offence under the laws of the game as persistent dissent. I'm sure Bennett recalled the previous instances, but that's what makes what he got his second yellow for all the more laughable - he should have been carded earlier for more obvious and vehement dissent than what he was eventually booked for.

So let me get this straight: he should have been carded earlier; he was carded for dissent; his multiple "f*ck off"s to the ref were irrelevant; you think in some way you've been hard done to.

Sorry blurred mate, but I give up. The conversation's insane.

If he'd been carded for telling the ref to feck off it'd've been entirely valid and nobody could complain. What he did get booked for was a joke, and if you book someone for that then you're issuing 10 cards a game up and down the country for dissent, which doesn't happen.

His multiple 'feck offs' were irrelevant, because there's no such thing as persistent dissent, unlike persistent infringement of the laws (which people are regularly carded for when they've made 3/4 fouls, none of which were severe enough to warrant a card, but you see the ref point to different areas of the pitch to indicate that he's being done for persistent infringement).

Should he have gone? Quite probably, yes (depending on whether he can use the 'Rooney' defence of screaming obscenities at referees with no punishment). Should he have gone for what he eventually got his second card for? No. That's the problem.
