Problem is that we now have a benchmark, and even on here there is no unity on whether it is the correct decision. I await further decisions with interest and expect very little consistency.
Bernardo Silva?Well the first one was always going to be against a lesser team. Now they've set a precedent, I'm just waiting for open season on us.
Penalties or incidents that lead to a player being sent off. They're vague enough on the second that it could be straight reds only, straight reds and second yellows, or straight reds and any yellow leading to a sending off.Does this only apply for a penalty? The worst I've ever seen is Busquets, who goes down all the time to try and get opponents yellow carded, but he's rarely in the penalty area.
It was Anthony Taylor wasn't it? I'd go a step further and suggest whoever appointed him as a top level referee be retrospectively punished for an awful decision.The issue I have with this particular case, is that for me it was just a terrible refereeing decision. There are times when a dive can look like a pen in real time and its only when you look back at it from various replays that you realise that the player has conned the ref. It is this type of scenario when I would expect retrospective action. In this case, Niasse has failed miserably to con anyone other than the useless referee. If anyone deserves retrospective punishment, it is the referee for giving an awful decision.
