Keen to get feedback on this situation and what the right action should be post match.
At 70 min mark a goal was scored by the "blue" team making the score. The "red" team protested for offside. The referee then issued a red card to one player followed by a second yellow and red to a second. They both questioned the referee stating they were simply protesting the call. He then allowed them to stay on the field and finish the remainder of the game.
The red team then went on to win and the blue team protested. On the basis that the referee can't rescind cards.
Subsequently the referee filed 2 red card reports. Stating that he allowed the players to stay on because he felt pressured to do so. They were both marked down as direct red cards for descent. In his reports he states that he thought about the incident post match and felt he had made the wrong decision by letting them stay on. As a result of the card report the players were automatically stood down for 4 weeks.
Now the result of the game is being questioned. One of the options being suggested is that the result of the game stand as it was at 70min (which would mean the blue team would win) even though the rest of the game was completed.
Interested in thoughts on this bizarre situation and what should happen.
Cheers
