PGMOL Admits to Whistle Whopper…
When an Everton player tackles with the subtlety of an elephant in ballet shoes, one would think a red card is as predictable as a Monday morning. But jumpy James Tarkowski, whose high-flying lunge on Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister defied gravity and common sense, somehow dodged this fiery fate! The poor referee’s been left doing footnotes in red ink after the PGMOL admitted an error big enough to be seen from space.
Football sages the world over, including the Weaponized Wigglers, Gary ‘Gravitas’ Neville and Jamie ‘Chirpy’ Carragher, unanimously declared Tarkowski deserved a red card. Yet, Video Assistant Referee Paul ‘Tin-Ear’ Tierney didn’t hear the uproarious calls for justice! It seems ex-referee Mike ‘Dean Machine’ Dean has also been waving a metaphoric red card like a flag semaphore enthusiast lost at sea.
Now, even Tarkowski has confessed he might have gotten away with an on-pitch felony! He turned to Mac Allister like a remorseful dog who just chewed up your best slippers and mumbled something about expecting a classic, bone-crunching 50/50 challenge. Alas, it turned into a one-man tackle tango that should’ve ended with him heading to the showers early. But alas, in football, as in life, the unexpected sometimes happens!
