It's probably an attempt to put pressure on those making a decision about Jones' red card but hopefully they treat the appeal on its merits.
They lost the appeal

Having spoken about the integrity of the game after the VAR incident, they could hardly expect the rules to be bent to let Jones off. Jones didn't get an extra match ban like you wanted but it was a pretty frivolous appeal. The Ndong incident I talked about earlier was January 2018 so it must've been the rule for over 5 years now, pretty embarrassing if Liverpool didn't know it.
Saying that, Gary Neville and plenty of other pundits didn't know it either. Lots of talk about the need to get former players involved as refs or in VAR because they 'understand' the game. Some would need to learn the rules first.
One of the criticisms of the VAR was that it was rushed, leading to the wrong decision being made, and the conversations that took place reinforced this.
Watching the Newcastle v PSG game, the Newcastle second goal went to VAR, which took a good three minutes to resolve, where all the co-commentators were saying was that it shouldn't be taking that amount of time.
Make your feckin minds up!!
Privided the decision is the correct one, it shouldn't matter how long it takes.
This Liverpool story has had me chuckling mind and loving all the memes flying about
One of the blokes was heard saying more than once to another "are you happy with the decision?"
He obviously realised that it was the wrong decision and the other guy got confused not realising what his decision was.
They relayed the wrong message to the referee by not making it clear, i.e. rushed it
Methinks, they were having a cuppa
Feck me, social media is nothing but mouth breathing Liverpool fans trying to explain why they have been the victim of the singularly most unjust decision in the entire history of football and why a replay is the least they deserve the last few days. Klopp found the right fan base I reckon.
Does this mean we're going to replay the Chelsea game from 2019 now?
Klopp has made himself look an absolute clown asking for a replay there.
