If red was a likely outcome there is absolutely no way he would have played advantage in the middle of the pitch.Maybe I've let the commentators get in my head then - they were chatting about VAR and Robertson being lucky the next restart was quick, strongly implying red was a likely outcome. I thought that was overstating it, but still felt it qualified as reckless.
He managed offences brilliantly. No need for cards and used them when needed.I'm not sure ignoring/"managing" SPA offences adds anything to the game, quite the opposite. Strange directive.
If VAR sees a missed red there, what Pawson did or didn't do is irrelevant.If red was a likely outcome there is absolutely no way he would have played advantage in the middle of the pitch.
