On the 20th September, Marriner wrongly ruled out what would have been Steven Gerrard's 100th goal for Liverpool in the opening minutes of Liverpool's match against Stoke City in which the Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez criticised it as "a massive error". The Linesman had lifted his flag for Dirk Kuyt standing in an Offside position, however video footage later prooved that Kuyt was not offside. Tony Pulis the Stoke City manager admitted also that his side got lucky over the decision. Liverpool would go on to draw the game 0-0 with their opponents.
