First pen was very soft and a tangling of legs…
Second is a HB offence in UCL so fair enough…
Third was a dive. Minimal contact. Great to see dives not getting credit. Should have booked him too!
Again I think this is where the LOTG are outdated and need sorting. Things to add:
Unacceptable sporting conduct - hair pulling, genital grabbing etc. = red card
Making physical contact with a referee = red card
Little things that just should be in there but are not. Football will always come...
Think players have had enough opportunity to learn that hair pulling of any sort, accidental or not, will result in a red card. PGMOL have been very consistent with this to their credit.
I agree that LOTG need to have more of a backbone against unacceptable conduct. I know that football doesn’t like to ‘copy’ rugby but they are so far ahead of us with referee respect.
That is what I thought - Makes contact with the defender's head... clearly high boot imo. Nonetheless, it is a cracking game, but seems like many subjective moments.
Very interesting one with VAR… ‘natural coming together’. I’m going to say that I feel that WHU are lucky here, as it is late contact…
