WBA should make a formal complaint against mariner like everyone else on here I am 100% certain this guy is not supposed to officiate games involving WBA. I wrote to the club and pointed this out when he made that incorrect decision against us at chelsea and WBA wrote back saying they weren't aware of the Mariner issue but surely they are now? The man shouldn't have even been in the stadium imo.

The decisions. Firstly the penalty. Seeing as VAR was being used it was incredibly naive of JL to lay a hand on Salah because he was clearly applying hand to shoulder however what did he have up his sleeve a taser stick? Salah certainly went down like he'd been electrocuted and should have been cautioned for diving IMO

The Dawson goal. Daws was onside and Barry was being fouled by Mignolet as we can see here and it was the bottom half of one of Barrys' legs what happened to benefit to the attacker and as he didn't touch the ball was he interfering with play or being interfered with?

The third goal that stood at this point it was becoming a farce as Marinner seemed determined to use VAR at every given opportunity to disrupt and deny Albion and favour Liverpool but he couldn't make this one stick so we got a deserved 3rd

My thoughts are obviously Mariner should not have been an official wtf are the FA doing allowing him officiating any game involving WBA. The VAR became almost farcical. West Brom played brilliantly and that's been overshadowed by the VAR nonsense. As Pardew said VAR has to be available to the coaching staff and fans because it caused confusion and took far too long to get to a decision. I also believe the ref should be the one to call on VAR if he is not sure not the other way round.

On a brighter note if we can play like that more often we may just get out of the mess were in. Pardew had said he was going to get at Liverpool and this was certainly what we did. It was the best performance from us for years
