NEW MCI re-refereeing

[RustyRef]

The LOTG ought to have clarification or a revision to indicate a dismissal going forward (to seemingly lineate with other Countries)
Perhaps just, 'the R should consider SFP for 'reckless SPA' when not making an attempt to play the ball

I mentioned this previously. They probably feel they don't need to as in most countries this would be a red card, for some reason it just seems to be viewed as acceptable in England (and possibly Scotland).

 

[GraemeS]

To further add confusion to the mix, two of the worst tackles seen in recent Scottish history at the weekend were shown yellows at the time, have thankully been upgraded to reds,

strange weekend all round, correct reds given at the time downgraded and incorrect yellows upgraded to reds

All by very highly ranked officials


chance does public park ref have

As you say, the first of those was a very similar ball-is-miles-away SPA+, but it also happened to be a nasty scissor tackle from behind, well worth red in it's own right even if the ball had been there to win.
