Paul Tierney: Last News

Gary Neville has weighed in on the debate as to whether Everton should have been awarded a penalty against Manchester City on Saturday evening.Neville tweeted: "I thought that was a penalty!" The former Manchester United star agreed with most football fans that the Toffees should have been awarded a spot-kick, but Paul Tierney, who was the man in the middle, didn't. Rodri had appeared to handle the ball in the penalty area under no pressure with the game entering its final five minutes.However, after a VAR check it was concluded there wasn't enough evidence of whereabouts on his arm the ball hit Rodri.One fan fumed: "That's genuinely one of the most ridiculous decisions I've seen in a long, long time That is an absolutely blatant penalty.""How is this not a penalty.

Rodri avoided conceding a penalty against Everton after VAR determined that the referee had not made a clear and obvious error in failing to give a handball.

Ralf Rangnick has revealed how Paul Tierney fired back at his complaints over a foul on Bruno Fernandes during Manchester United's 4-2 win over Leeds.United got one over on their bitter rivals in a fiesty clash at Elland Road to nudge themselves back into the top four.Harry Maguire and Fernandes fired United into a two-goal lead at the break before Leeds hit back with two goals in 24 seconds at the start of the second half.Rangnick sent on Fred and Anthony Elanga after the break and they both found the net to settle an enthralling affair that saw nine yellow cards issued by Tierney.And after the match, Rangnick opened up on the response he got from Tierney after he quizzed the referee over a challenge on Fernandes in the build-up to Leeds shock equaliser.Although the United chief was unhappy, Leeds goal stood and helped set up an enthralling finale.Rangnick said: "I spoke to the referee after the game about that tackle on Bruno before they scored the equaliser and I said, 'listen, in Germany, they wouldn't have even asked VAR' and the referee said to me, quite funnily, 'listen, this is probably why you had to come to England'."Despite issuing nine cautions, Tierney attempted to let the play flow as much as possible in the abysmal conditions in Yorkshire.What did you make of Man Utd's performance against Leeds? Let us know in the comments section.United showed commendable character to rebound after throwing away their two-goal advantage.And Rangnick was proud of how his side weathered the storm, both figuratively and literally, in the second half."It was very intense," said the United chief.

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva's sneaky dive has been labelled "clever" by fans as Harry Kane was controversially denied a goal for Tottenham Hotspur.Kane thought he had put the visiting Spurs ahead at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon only to see his effort disallowed for a foul on the Brazilian.The England captain was less than impressed with the decision and was later seen debating it with referee Paul Tierney in the tunnel at half time.His ruled out goal came after team-mate Matt Doherty was deemed lucky to stay after the pitch with his horror tackle on Malang Sarr going unpunished.As Ryan Sessegnon sent in a low cross towards Kane, the Spurs striker put his hand on Silva's back and gave the defender a slight nudge.Silva reacted by falling to the deck as Kane controlled the ball and slotted it beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga, before the referee blew his whistle for a foul.Fans were quick to take to social media to react to the incident, with supporters divided in their view of the decision.While some praised Silva's use of the dark arts to earn the foul, others felt that the decision was a soft one and that the goal should have stood.Should Harry Kane's goal have been allowed to stand? Let us know in the comments section below.One fan tweeted: “Softest foul I’ve ever seen haha, Thiago Silva goes down like a sniper.

Tottenham wing-back Matt Doherty’s challenge on Malang Sarr has been branded a “disgrace” by fans despite the Irishman not even being shown a card.The 30-year-old was pursuing the Chelsea defender in the 19th minute of the crucial Premier League fixture when he severely mistimed his tackle on the Frenchman.Doherty appeared to stamp on Sarr’s lower shin well after the ball had been played, leaving the youngster rolling around the floor and in need of treatment.But referee Paul Tierney decided against taking action even after a VAR, leaving fans scratching their heads at how the Irishman got away with a ruthless tackle.One fan on Twitter wrote: “That is one of the worst decisions we have seen from VAR in a long time. Chelsea robbed.“How in the world has Matt Doherty not received a red card there? Kevin Friend didn’t even give a foul!“Absolutely disgusting tackle, as clear a red card as you will see all year.”Another tweeted: “How the f*** is Doherty allowed to stay on the pitch after that tackle on Sarr..

Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has weighed in on the Harry Kane debate after the Englishman was lucky to escape a red card on Sunday.Kane caught Liverpool's left-back Andy Robertson late with a challenge that warranted the 28-year-old with a booking, but Jurgen Klopp and his side wanted more.And they were only further aggravated when Robertson himself saw red when Paul Tierney went over to the monitor to check the challenge, which he didn't do for Kane.And former official Clattenburg has now expressed his surprise that the Tottenham star wasn't given his marching orders on Sunday evening."If Harry Kane's lunge on Andy Robertson isn’t a red card then I’m not sure what is," Clattenburg wrote in the Daily Mail."The tackle is high,

Harry Kane was lucky to stay on the pitch during Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Sunday following a reckless challenge on Andy Robertson.Some even accused the powers that be of corruption, particularly after Robertson himself was sent off for a similar incident following a VAR review.Liverpool supporters were confused as to why referee Paul Tierney was called over to the monitors to have a second look at Robertson's challenge, but wasn't asked to review Kane's.Viewers cried double standards, particularly after they heard VAR's explanation.According to The Athletic, Kane got off lightly because Robertson was jumping when he was fouled, meaning there was less chance of serious damage.Meanwhile the Liverpool left-back's

Liverpool fans finally had something to laugh about after Specsavers tweeted a cheeky jibe at referee Paul Tierney following the controversial 2-2 draw to Tottenham.Tierney was met with huge criticism both by online fans and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, with several of the official’s dubious decisions severely impacting the outcome of the match.The Reds were not awarded what appeared to be a clear penalty in the first-half after Emerson Royal brought down Diogo Jota in the box.But most controversial was the referee’s decision not to send off striker Harry Kane for a reckless challenge on Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.Kane was out of control as he slid into a tackle and caught Robertson high on the ankle, with the Scotsman lucky to

Liverpool and Tottenham played out of the games of the season on Sunday as the pair were held to a 2-2 draw, but there were a lot more talking points than just the four goals.Penalty shouts, red card appeals and controversial goal decisions dominated a frantic game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp an animated figure throughout.A draw was probably a fair result, but Harry Kane was perhaps lucky to remain on the field with a brutal challenge on Andrew Roberston shortly after the England captain took the lead, and Diogo Jota could have been awarded a penalty after levelling the scores.Robertson then put Liverpool ahead despite Mohamed Salah handling the ball in the build up, but was sent off shortly after

Liverpool fans have been left fuming after a “shocking” decision by the referee to send off defender Andy Robertson.The Reds looked set to steal a huge result at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Robertson’s 69th minute header but quickly lost their grip by conceding a goal and suffering a red card in quick succession.Left-back Robertson attempted to tackle Emerson Royal but ended up wildly kicking the forward without getting close to touching the ball.And following a lengthy review on the VAR screen, referee Paul Tierney opted to give the Scotsman a straight sending off, leaving Liverpool players and fans outraged at his decision.The referee had failed to give Tottenham captain Harry Kane his marching orders earlier in the match for a

Harry Kane after the Tottenham star escaped an early red-card against Liverpool.Kane was only booked by referee Paul Tierney after he put in a late challenge on Reds left-back Andy Robertson, which left the Scotland captain in clear pain.20 minutes had gone in the Premier League clash when the Spurs striker lunged at Robertson, who was in possession, but rather than the ball, Kane caught the Liverpool man on the ankle with a high foot.It certainly appeared to be a tackle that may have been enough to see Kane sent-off, with Arsenal supporters certainly of the opinion that he should have been sent for an early bath.Gunners fans took to social media to compare Kane’s treatment to that of Xhaka, who has earned a reputation for ill-discipline

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara has called out referee Paul Tierney for his decisions in the Liverpool against Manchester City match.The two title-challenging sides drew 2-2 in a match full of great goals and huge moments of controversy.Reds striker Sadio Mane opened the scoring in the 59th minute before Phil Foden levelled things up ten things later when he was left unmarked by makeshift right-back James Milner and fired past Alisson.Mohamed Salah then put Jurgen Klopp’s side back in front in the 76th minute with a sensational solo goal, before Kevin de Bruyne swept home a Foden cut-back to make sure the points were shared.But those latter two goals came after the most controversial moment of the match.England veteran Milner was
