I agree with this.

As promised, I've watched it back now so I can try to find the logic. I think it's been given for reckless play as the challenge ends up standing on the ankle which buckles it a bit. Doesn't endanger safety, but could be deemed as a disregard...

Can categorically tell you that even applying the law absolutely to the letter does nothing to prevent surrounding, dissent, simulation etc 🙂🙃

I get that point of view, but you of all people know as an official yourself that there will never be 100% agreement on 100% of decisions given the subjective nature of them. We can't keep using a clear mistake in a previous season as an example...

This is at the very least a yellow card for me.

I don’t disagree at all. All it’s really done is ensure players will wait until the 1 before releasing back into play.

The ability to turn the throws/GK’s around I love. The countdowns less so… it’s too Futsal for my liking 🙃

The law on this is actually a nightmare to be honest! It’s when we as the referee deem the team to be taking an excessive amount of time over the restart in order to waste time. So it is a subjective one. The way I manage it is allowing a...

And this is precisely what I meant about petulance. It’s so boring isn’t it?

Yet I ‘admitted it’ immediately after the incident was described further? And I’m so hell bent on defending refs that I say I think he got it wrong and missed a second yellow? Gotcha 👍

Because at the time I didn’t know I had until it was clarified…? Are you actually ok?

The photo was to demonstrate contact point. Not severity. I’ve said that already. Twice. Literally read the post the photo is on - it’s quite obvious that’s the point I’m making with it. Thiago did not need to react the way he did. The Brighton...

Ah! Is this the Liverpool game last weekend? Because if it’s the moment I’m thinking - then yes I agree both should've been yellowed and I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t. You either yellow both of them or neither of them IMO. I’ll be...

If it stopped a promising attack or deemed reckless, whether it’s first foul or 5th - it’s a yellow. I’ll try and find logic when I see it back

I don’t know that incident I’m afraid.

And this is why we seldom bother trying to explain anything as we get met with petulant attitudes/behaviours back. God forbid we give anything similar back though… else no one takes us seriously 🤷‍♂️

Law 12

What’s the minute? I’ll have a look for it when I can sit with the catch up and see if I can find any logic for it..!

Going back through every comment I’ve made about this is actually one of the most childish things I’ve ever seen. I’m so here for it. Bravo. Elite pettiness 😂😂😂😂

Because it shows the contact point very clearly… thus confirming why this is a red and not yellow. It’s so depressing when people only read half the point you’re making
