Whatever your stance on the 2 game ban is, this is a totally different scenario.

Was inevitable people would conflate, even though the deceiving a match official protocol only allows for handling to be punished if scored directly.

Missed offside as well...

Exactly right James. Can’t even compare the two, but people like the author do & then they will complain that Referees and the EFL are inconsistent. Makes my blood boil so it does!!
