Colour Blind Viewers Left in The Dark During Match

Fans who suffer from red-green colour blindness were left in the dark on Tuesday night when Liverpool, dazzling in red, took to the pitch against Ludogorets in all green. Colour blind supporters were left bewildered as to who was who in the Champions League clash as the English side faced off against the Bulgarian champions.

So this Liverpool game isn't great for me being colour blind. Green pitch green kit red kit all look the same. It's just floating heads. — Elliot Heard (@ElliotHeard) September 16, 2014

Thankfully for Liverpool fans, their players certainly knew what was going on, with Steven Gerrard securing a 2-1 victory with a late (late) penalty. The side have returned to the Champions League for the first time in five years. “Given up watching the Liverpool match, 20 players in the same kit for the colour blind amongst us,” said Phil Whitehead. While Andrew King tweeted: “Being colour blind and watching this Liverpool game is just not fair. I can’t tell who has the ball!”
