I thought the referee was awful in the final. When you get a tackle like the one on Gravenberch from Caicedo, and nothing gets done about it.
It’s unbelievable. Whether it was not meant or not, you only need to look back to Curtis Jones against Spurs.
That is a shocking tackle. Caicedo was out of control. It’s a red card that has not been given, in my opinion. I think Van Dijk’s disallowed goal was a really bad decision too. I do, I really do. It spoiled the game for me.

Even their goal when it got disallowed. I saw it was offside, he was offside. And I’m at the back of the goal. But it takes them four minutes to make the decision.
He’s offside, it’s not hard. That apart, they tried their best to not give Liverpool whatever they were credited. The Virgil van Dijk disallowed goal, he dissected it so wrong.
I’ve had enough of VAR now, like everyone. I don’t think they’re going to stop it, but I’ve had enough of it. I’d rather the referees made genuine errors than this.
I’ve had enough. It spoiled the game, it spoiled the final. That’s the first time I’ve been at a final and VAR’s been like that. It spoils the game and it spoils it for the fans as well.
It was a poor performance from the officials, but it didn’t stop us getting what we deserved at the end of the day.
Unsung hero deserves credit
The manner we did it against multi-million pound players on ridiculous wages a week was incredible too.
Eight year contracts up against our kids fighting for a contract. That shows you the difference. Absolutely amazing.
