Red card baffles Masch

Arrogant, jumped up jobsworth prick Steve Bennett sent Javier Mascherano off for asking him "what's happening?" a decision that still baffles the Liverpool midfielder.

"I do not know why I was sent off," said the Argentinian international.

"I asked the referee what was happening. I did not swear, I was not aggressive and I did not confront him.

"All I did was ask him what was happening, nothing else.

"So when he showed me the second yellow card and sent me off I could not believe it.

"I am sorry to my teammates because that meant we went down to 10 men and that made things even more difficult for us."
