🚨🎙️ Roy Keane rips into referee Andy Madley for his officiating decisions after Liverpool 0–1 Arsenal at Anfield: 🗣️ "Look, I don't want to stand here and take anything away from Arsenal. They came to Anfield, put their bodies on the line, got the goal, and defended like their lives depended on it. Job well done to them, credit where it’s due. But we have to tell the truth about what we just watched out there. Andy Madley tonight... honest to God, it was a shocker. Absolute shocker. This is a massive game—first against third, Anfield packed out, global audience—and you’ve got a referee who looks completely out of his depth. Matches of this magnitude need to be managed by referees who understand the weight of the occasion. You can't be waving play on for two clear penalty shouts in the first half like you're refereeing a Sunday League park game! Jurrien Timber grabbing a handful of shirt inside the box—how is VAR not stepping in there? How is Madley standing five yards away and missing that? Then in the second half, buying every little bit of contact, letting players stay down for three minutes to disrupt the tempo, and failing to control the game. It ruins the spectacle. When you come to a stadium like this for a top-of-the-table clash, you expect top-level officiating, not someone guessing his way through 90 minutes. He lost control of it, plain and simple, and at this level, that is nowhere near good enough."
