A Bit Of Good News For Liverpool Fans
Earlier this week, a section on the Premier League’s website suggested that Arne Slot might face a two-game suspension. But here’s the twist: that part was quickly updated, and now it’s all up in the air. The Football Association (FA) is still reviewing the referee’s report and hasn’t made a final decision yet. So, for now, it’s a bit of Good News For Liverpool Fan.
What could happen next? Well, it depends on how serious the FA thinks the incident was. They might charge Slot, give him a warning, or simply remind him of his responsibilities. Or, they could decide to drop the matter altogether. The FA has three business days to make their call. If they do charge Slot, Liverpool will have until the end of the third business day to respond and present their side of the story.
This isn’t Slot’s first run-in with a touchline ban this season, either. Back in December, he served a suspension after picking up three yellow cards, which meant he had to watch the Carabao Cup match against Southampton from the stands. For those wondering, a touchline ban doesn’t mean coaches are completely cut off. They can still communicate with the dugout—just not directly. Phone calls or a ‘runner’ are the go-to options. And, of course, they’re still allowed in the dressing room before and after the match. But during the game? They’re stuck watching from a distance, which can’t be easy when you’re itching to make tactical changes.
