What am I missing here? ...would have liked to see a yellow for the idiot rolling around grabbing his ankle though
Can only presume there was a punch or some act of VC we couldn't see on this angle, otherwise it's 2 x YC (assuming the ball is in play here)
Well, that was a second ball on the field of play -- if the video started about 5-8s earlier, you'd see that a player from the yellow team was down (injured or not, Idaknow), and a ball boy threw that ball out onto the field of play. The blue sub ran out to remove it from the field of play so that play wouldn't be stopped because of a second ball.My question is, why is the referee so calm when he can see a sub running on chasing the ball?
I knew the ball wasn't in play, but this makes sense.Well, that was a second ball on the field of play -- if the video started about 5-8s earlier, you'd see that a player from the yellow team was down (injured or not, Idaknow), and a ball boy threw that ball out onto the field of play.

Didn't even spot that....good point, ref has crossed the line there.Agree with the red card, but not the referee pushing him off.
Sorry, but referees don't get to push players around just because they've been sent off.No issues from my viewpoint of ref using bit of force to usher off the player
It worked, proactive, no reaction from anybody including the sent off player,
No point saying would you let a player use that force on you as ref, if the player does it, he is doing it out of aggression/fustration, the referee here in this rare occasion is shooing the dismissed player away, quite right.

Collina is a great textbook example of how not to referee, in a lot of ways. By that I mean absolutely nobody else could get away with the stuff he gets away withAm not recommending it, and it be a rare occasion but this was that occasion
Collinia himself was famous/infamous for pushing players away and most the top guys in my country have been, and are, hands on
Do you see anybody having a problem in the clip., esp the sent off player?
No, so why create one. There is no issue here.

Usually refs get hands on when they're trying to separate players at a confrontation and that sort of thing. Never seen a ref just walk after a player and push them off the field before - and I'm not going to take my measure on whether it was correct simply by whether anybody had a reaction or not.
