BREAKING ‼️: Referee Simon Hooper DROPS BOMBSHELL After Liverpool vs Newcastle Clash – Claims VAR Forced Him to Give Red Card.

The football world has been thrown into absolute chaos tonight after referee Simon Hooper sensationally broke his silence following Liverpool’s controversial 3-2 victory over Newcastle United.

Speaking live to Fabrizio Romano, Hooper dropped one of the most shocking referee admissions in Premier League history, confessing that the red card decision against Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon was not his choice.

“I didn’t want to give that a red card and I know a lot of fans are already on my case,” Hooper admitted. “But I won’t lie—I’d rather get sacked than continue to watch this injustice. Liverpool and him especially have powers in the VAR control room, that’s why I was called back to make it a red card. Don’t blame me, blame him. His injustice and cheating must stop.”

The referee’s words have sparked absolute mayhem across social media, with fans in disbelief that a Premier League official would directly accuse Liverpool of having influence inside the VAR room. The statement also appears to take direct aim at Virgil van Dijk, who has now been at the center of back-to-back controversies involving Liverpool’s victories.

Newcastle fans are furious, demanding an immediate investigation into VAR and the officials who oversaw the match. Liverpool supporters, on the other hand, are outraged at Hooper’s comments, branding them as “unprofessional excuses” and accusing the referee of trying to deflect blame for his poor decisions.

Pundits have called this the biggest refereeing scandal in years, with questions now being raised about the integrity of the league itself. If what Hooper has claimed proves true, this could ignite one of the most damaging crises English football has ever faced.

Justice, it seems, is at war with power. And tonight, Simon Hooper may have just blown the lid wide open.
