Pretty minor, but seeing as I’m revising the LOTG for my upcoming ref course, I was watching the U21 Euro final last night and I noticed something that was said which was incorrect from the commentary team....
Basically... The ref failed to walk a player for a blatant red, he booked him instead. Martin Tyler said the player should have been sent off because it was “a reckless tackle”.
But, my understanding is that If the ref was in agreement with the comms team in that it was a reckless tackle, then surely he got the call spot on by cautioning three player, according to the LOTG?
That being said, the player lunged in and caught his opponent high and late, so I’d have definitely sent him off for SFP...
Perhaps the pundits need refresher training?!?!
