Pundits Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer debated the big decisions with Micah Richards after Liverpool's 2-1 win over Newcastle
Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer continued their 'spat' over several refereeing decisions during Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Newcastle.
Van Dijk's red card generated plenty of debate, with Jamie Carragher arguing in the Sky studio that it wasn't clear whether Alexander Isak was denied a goalscoring opportunity, while Gary Neville didn't impress Liverpool fans with his views on the incident as it happened. Meanwhile, Richards admitted he "would have got the sack" had he been covering it live due to the amount of times he'd changed his mind about the incident.Lineker: "We had a little spat, we had a little bit of fun on Twitter didn't we? Because I looked at it. He cleared got the ball, he might have got a little bit of the man on the way but he wasn't rash, he didn't slide in. He stood there and he just nonchalantly took the ball off him, I thought.
Lineker: "Do you think that first throwing the ball away was a yellow card? He didn't throw the ball away he just under armed it about five yards. I thought that was a pathetic yellow card."
