Wait until you see Friend's penalty decision... awful mistake at the top level...
I unintentionally did it the other week, ball played over the top takes a deflection on it's way, club assistant flags when there was no interference, ball goes out at the goal line. Should have been a corner, I think players expected the offside, keeper puts ball down outside PA and I shout "goal kick please keeper". Nobody realised. When the kick was taken I clocked...I wont see it till tomorrow cos am at work, but, I think every one of us has done that, we don't know if its a pk, it looks like a gk, but, because we might have denied the attacking team a pk, we award a corner as some kind of middle ground decision!!
Both teams win/neither lose as one team should have conceded a pk now only concede a corner and one team should have got nothing as you could not call the pk but do know its a goal kick so you give them a corner to make them feel ok too !
its ridiculous when you break it down but, a common incident and I be surprised if anyone can honestly say they have not done it!!

Oh, no doubt whatsoever.Good management for me, your pitch clearly expected and they got what they expected !
you can guarantee had you realised b4 the kick and "done the right thing" and changed it to a corner, you have uproar and them of course, a header scored from the corner.....
The corner is actually the decision that makes sense - if he doesn't think it's a pen, it's because he thinks the defender touched it. The GK wouldn't make sense.http://mscom1.matchat.online/player/html/Zw08iDHCxj?popup=yes&autoplay=1
Pen - Wrong decision, defender gets there first, blocked view or bad angle perhaps?
Corner - Doesn't give a pen and he gives a corner to sell his non-pen, but the defender didn't touch the ball, then the red for VC is correct - that was a lot more force than I remember Richarlison getting sent for earlier on in the season... then Brighton score from the corner... oh dear.
For me, his assistant has to be in his ear there "it's a goal kick if it's not a pen", surely the assistant still signalled and if so, how did he get it wrong?
I don't necessarily agree, just because the defender doesn't touch the ball doesn't mean he has fouled his opponent. I predict he was distracted by the pen/no pen decision and instinctively gave a corner as a result. I've been in that position myself and you're concentrating so much on the big decision that you aren't concentrating on the small one. Alternatively he very wrongly thought the defender touched it but if so, the AR is perfectly placed to tell him otherwise.The corner is actually the decision that makes sense - if he doesn't think it's a pen, it's because he thinks the defender touched it. The GK wouldn't make sense.
So, I could understand if the ref thought that.....but this is where the teamwork with the AR comes into it; the AR must have seen what happened, surely.
