The Ref Stop

Referee Apology

The Ref Stop
Even with a video replay I wouldn't be making an apology for awarding a penalty here. I do not like that tackle, contact or not. Poor simulation from the attacker though.
 
It was pretty convincing in real time to be fair.

Vidal should be the one making apologies - firstly for cheating, secondly for the fact that despite sharing a name with a hairdressing legend, he has consistently sported the most ridiculous barnets.
 
Like Vidal I would have been moving my ankle away from those studs flying in. No dive, Pen peeeep
 
i like the fact that he's apologised but at the same time kinda justifies his decision based on what he saw.
he says he was in a good position and saw contact.... i presume its only after the event with the help of multiple replays that he's realised there was none

There doesn't need to be contact for it to be a foul though. There was enough in this tackle for a penalty and a yellow card. I remember on a supply league game last season I spoke to a player for a foul tackle with no contact. The assessor questioned why I had spoken to the player to which I replied "if there had been contact I would have issued a card and I'm not sure if it would have been yellow or red". Mr assessor said "well, it would have been red". "WELL THAT'S WHY I GAVE A FREE KICK AND SPOKE TO HIM!"
