Episode 3077: All Change At Liverpool, Refs Keep Us Guessing
Howard Webb provided some good grist to the conspiracy mills over the weekend by getting himself filmed texting and earpiecing before Saliba’s yellow card was changed to a red. But maybe the PGMOL supremo deserves some praise to go with the flak. At least his referees are providing an element of unpredictability otherwise missing from a lot of overcoached Premier League football.
Branno brings us up to speed on his trip to Sligo to see Bohemians play their small role in the climax to the League of Ireland season.

We also talk about how in a few short weeks under Arne Slot, Liverpool have undergone a complete transformation from the side they have been for years under Jurgen Klopp.
And Neil Atkinson and Rich Jolly join us to talk about the game at Anfield. Could Slot’s start have gone any better? Are the regular complaints about the poor atmosphere at Anfield and other Premier League grounds based on reality or nostalgia? And does the increasingly convergent style of play we see in the Premier League give the crowds much to work with?
