Good riddance Man U. Guaranteed now that at least one of the FA Cup finalists will be someone other than the Sky 6.

I would really like to know what Slot said to Michael Oliver to get himself sent off. I thought Oliver lost control of the game very early on and did little to regain it. Also a one or two match ban for Slot at this point in the season is less than ideal...

Apparently - “If we don’t win the league, I’ll f’ing blame you”

I think that part was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Oliver let Slot say what he had to say initially, but probably sent him off because he came back for a second go at it.

7) It was reported by the Referee that following the full-time whistle, he was approached by LFC’s Arne Slot (“AS”) who had entered the field of play to confront the Referee and the Match Officials team. Tensions were running high. It was alleged that AS’ manner was confrontational and aggressive. It was alleged that he initially used abusive words whilst shaking the Referee’s hand including that the Referee had “****ing give them everything ”and that AS hoped that the Referee “was proud of that performance.” The Referee thereafter confirms (having reviewed the video footage to clarify) that he was approached again by AS around one minute later. In this exchange, AS once again shook the Referee’s hand and said “if we don’t win the league, I’ll ****ing blame you.” It is then further alleged that AS turned to the Assistant Referee and shouted twice that it was “a ****ing disgrace. ”As a result of AS’ conduct, he was shown a red card by the Referee.
