The Ref Stop

Cahill RC Oops

The Ref Stop
Everybody in Australia is rather confused by this red card - so far Cahill has had the gold pass from referees to do whatever he wants. So for a referee to actually do the right thing is...confusing!
OFFINABUS....even more confusing! That never happens!
Which of course means that every time a player is sent for OFFINABUS, it's inconsistent with decisions in previous matches ;-)

Concerning that some people genuinely don't seem to think a red card is possible for verbals....one bright spark said 'there wasn't enough time for Cahill to say anything overly offensive'
I told him to grab a stopwatch, time himself saying 'cheat' and then tell us how much time is needed to say something offensive :P

I've cautioned a sub but that's it.
