Censorship. Dictatorship
Ref has lost control of this game in the 70th minute by giving a penalty that is so unbelievably weak. In my opinion its not a penalty.
He seemingly sent off 3 players now saying things out of turn, I guess, and they shouldn't have but I feel they have every right to feel aggrieved.
Several minutes and several angles to come up with, in my opinion, a poor decision.
2 of those reds were not on the pitch.
 
The Ref Stop
It's a European penalty I say where a airkick that makes contact with an opponents foot will always be given in most European leagues but not in the PL (after the outrage in the Brighton Liverpool game a few seasons back).

As for the red cards for players saying something out of turn then it's hard to comment and only the officials will know if they have been over zealous or not.
 
I think every experienced Referee has been in a situation in which the cards don't work or stop working to the point that we give a flurry of them in a manner which represents a 'loss of control'. I have one game of my own, perhaps two, which spring to mind
As is the case in this Cremonese game, it invariably involves some aspect of very poor refereeing
This is a typically dreadful VAR intervention which has left the refereeing team drowning in a flood of their own making
And yes, as the commentator states, it shows a 'lack of understanding of the game'. It's not a typical on-field error of judgement

Is it though? In Europe, an opponent kicking the foot of the opposition always gets reviewed if the ref has not given it, it's soft and wouldn't be given in this country but I don't think they will say it's wrong.

I'd like to know what you think this phrase means.

To me it means when some adult people (let's call them players) act like pork chops we find someone else to make accountable for their behaviour?

As much as I agree with you (I did add in my post that the players were stupid if calling him out so to speak), the red on the field was during a conversation with the player. I imagine his own tone of voice spiked the players reaction further. He welcomed the confrontation and showed a red card when it got to a point he didnt like, players don't have that luxury.
The two off the field clearly said something to the assistant.

Ive seen in the Premier League where similar things like this have occurred and the referees have spoken with the captains well before this got to this stage.

Players certainly have the "luxury" of not saying things that amount to OFFINABUS. I'm a bit surprised that you are going to criticize the ref based on what you "imagine" to have happened.

When I managed I always said to the players that if you don't say anything to the referee you can't be punished. Open your mouth to protest and you run the risk of a card, and unless you know the characteristics of the referee you don't know what colour that might be. To coin the old phrase you pays your money and takes your chances, but say nothing and there is zero jeopardy.

And that was well before the days that only the captain can speak to the referee. Were the players sent off here the captain, well they can't all have been and actually none of them were (although the captain was cautioned). I understand they are upset about the decision, but the protests are futile as there is zero chance of the referee changing his mind.

The decision itself was harsh, arguably wrong, but equally we know that in Europe if you raised your feet with studs showing you usually get punished, especially in Italy.
