I get that point of view, but you of all people know as an official yourself that there will never be 100% agreement on 100% of decisions given the subjective nature of them. We can't keep using a clear mistake in a previous season as an example as to why it's an injustice though, and just need...

This is at the very least a yellow card for me.

I don’t disagree at all. All it’s really done is ensure players will wait until the 1 before releasing back into play.

The ability to turn the throws/GK’s around I love. The countdowns less so… it’s too Futsal for my liking 🙃

The law on this is actually a nightmare to be honest! It’s when we as the referee deem the team to be taking an excessive amount of time over the restart in order to waste time. So it is a subjective one. The way I manage it is allowing a reasonable amount of time for it to be taken. But if...

And this is precisely what I meant about petulance. It’s so boring isn’t it?

Yet I ‘admitted it’ immediately after the incident was described further? And I’m so hell bent on defending refs that I say I think he got it wrong and missed a second yellow? Gotcha 👍

Because at the time I didn’t know I had until it was clarified…? Are you actually ok?

The photo was to demonstrate contact point. Not severity. I’ve said that already. Twice. Literally read the post the photo is on - it’s quite obvious that’s the point I’m making with it. Thiago did not need to react the way he did. The Brighton player got a forearm to the face and got a split...

Ah! Is this the Liverpool game last weekend? Because if it’s the moment I’m thinking - then yes I agree both should've been yellowed and I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t. You either yellow both of them or neither of them IMO. I’ll be interested to see what KMI panel made of it as I thought...

If it stopped a promising attack or deemed reckless, whether it’s first foul or 5th - it’s a yellow. I’ll try and find logic when I see it back

I don’t know that incident I’m afraid.

And this is why we seldom bother trying to explain anything as we get met with petulant attitudes/behaviours back. God forbid we give anything similar back though… else no one takes us seriously 🤷‍♂️
