Now that everyone seems to be agreeing that Rob Styles made a huge error in awarding that penalty last Sunday – well, apart from Jose Mourinho but, then again, does it really matter what he thinks? – will the yellow card handed to Carragher stand? After all, wasn’t he right to protest against the decision?

The penalty decision cost Liverpool two points and the card could cost Carragher a game should he exceed the five yellow cards’ total that result in an automatic ban. But, whilst everyone appreciates that there is nothing that can be done about the first issue, it would only be fair if the injustice was at least partially made up for by helping avoid the second.
