Stoke City striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s Premier League match against Newcastle United on Sunday.
The Argentinean International was issued marching orders by match referee, Anthony Taylor, in the 84th minute for his high boot challenge on Luis Suarez.
The game, which ended in a 1-1 draw at Anfield, saw http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 open the scoring in the closing stages of the first half.
However, Suarez eased the jittery nerves of the home crowd after the break, producing a moment of magic to get the Reds level on terms in the 67th minute.
Although the hosts did have the advantage of the extra man in the last ten minutes or so, the Magpies defenders were able to prevent their opposition from scoring, ensuring a point for their team.
Anyhow, Owen, who is a former Newcastle and Liverpool player, believes that the match official was at wrong on issuing red card to the Toon skipper.
The English International dubbed the referee’s decision as ‘laughable’, claiming that the defender did not even touch Suarez with his challenge and that he was one of the safest players in the Premier League.
“Not having that at all. [Coloccini] didn't touch him and to say there was intent is laughable,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“Let me tell you, he kicks a moving ball a thousand times a day and doesn't miss it once. If he wanted to connect with a standing leg then he wouldn't have missed.”
“He pulls out at the last minute and doesn't touch him. Not having that's a red at all.”
Coloccini is now set to miss his side’s next three fixtures. His suspension mounted further woes for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew, who has also got multiple injury problems to tend to. During the match on Sunday, the Magpies ace striker and highest goal scorer for the ongoing
season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812, limped off the field due to an injury, while James Perch is also reported to be suffering from fitness problems.
The Tyneside outfit will next host West Ham United on Sunday.
