0:00.0	Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC. We have Craig Burley and Ali Moreno
0:09.1	alongside me, Kate Morey in the studio and we will start by talking about one of the biggest
0:13.5	referee and decisions of the weekend. At least that's the way it's been with everybody
0:17.1	talking about it afterwards. Happened in the Newcastle and Liverpool game. It was a straight
0:21.6	red card for Virgil Van Dyke, one that Jürgen Kopp still didn't agree with after the game.
0:26.3	I don't think it's a red card. I don't think it's just pretty much no contact. Very little and
0:33.6	it's on the way to the board but what can I say? It's not. The decision is like this and I cannot
0:39.3	change it and I don't want it. It's just, would I basically a training game? Definitely not but
0:46.3	and there are reasons why I'm not a referee and they are. Well the good news is we actually do have
0:53.4	a referee on the panel with us tonight in Mark Klasenberg. Hold on, hold on, hold on,
0:58.4	hold on. X referee. X referee. It's going to be a long night. It is because he's going to get
1:05.3	some stick tonight. Trust me. Was it a red for you Craig? Listen, this for me was one of the
1:13.4	easiest decisions I think we're going to see all season. He's completely, he's completely
1:22.9	cleaned Alexander Isaac out here and there's an angle from behind the goal. So just here.
1:33.6	What do you want me to say? In this position you have to play. Now when I saw this live
1:39.8	straight away I said red card. The only salvation potentially for Virgil Van Dyke was the replay
1:48.8	appearing and he played the ball. That's the only salvation because it was a goal scoring
1:53.6	opportunity that was going to arise from it. There was a good pace on the ball. It wasn't overhead.
1:58.8	He was either going to take a touch which he wasn't allowed to or he was going to let it run across
2:02.6	his body and he was completely wiped out. As Stevie said yesterday because Van Dyke was on the wrong
2:07.0	side. So I think this was one of the most simple red cards we'll see in the Premier League this
2:16.0	year. Now we've got the receipt Mark Klettenberg because yesterday you said to Dan that you thought
