These tackles are the potential leg breakers. Endangered the safety of an opponent.

First one was actually a second yellow, given for a free kick. (according to the Spanish instagram ref) Very clear DOGSO in my book, the goalkeeper was stuck in concrete. Understandable miss in real time. Think we discussed recently that the VAR intervention doesn't actually add anything when...

Only an 11 match ban? Absolutely shocking. Cases are often taken less seriously when a game isn't abandoned.

Yet another hair pull not not being classed as violent conduct.

Referee Forum is now huge. The owner seems to be an Alexei Sayle knock-off with questionable views. Has started to use AI to create anonymous posts to drive content. The American one is quite frequently wrong in law but he's enthusiastic and a good communicator. Their are a few twitter...

Clear red for who?

Careful what you wish for. I get the impression that Rosetti regards handballs as factual not subjective. Nearly any ball hitting the hand in the build up to a goal will be chalked off, any time the arm stops a shot on goal it will be penalized.

2m15. Would've got there very comfortably

Scratch that. After querying why a throw was different they've said they made a mistake and restarts, except penalties, can't be reviewed
