Did he not say anything about the fact Fernandez kicks out at the player before, or about Luke shaw kicking out too ?
He just makes it up as he goes along - I bet he can't believe he's being paid.

Haha it’s the lineman’s fault. Who would have thought? All night to come up with a story and this is the best that ballbag can do!
Manipulation of the facts. Rat pushed a lino. The rest is a sky cover up story.

Overall, I thought the same. There were some weird things, though. Play stopping for Joelinton holding his foot - when did that become a thing. Not stopping play after a nasty-looking collision. Then booking Ake for it. Blowing his whistle at Ederson when two up.
Btw, I thought you couldn't give a yellow card if you played advantage? Not sure why not, in all honesty, but isn't that the rule?
That exact thing happened in the Villa V Palace game on Saturday. The referee put his whistle to his mouth after a bad foul by Doucoure. Then realised a promising attack was developing and played advantage. Then when the ball went out of play went back and showed the guy a second yellow and a red.
Wonder what would have happened if the attack eventually was broken and Villa went up the other end and Doucoure had scored…while the ref could have blown after a few seconds if the move had broken down, there’s nothing to say they could have hung onto the ball long enough…bit like rugby Union when advantage only lasts so long..That exact thing happened in the Villa V Palace game on Saturday.

It wouldn’t/ shouldn’t get that far. As soon as Doucoure looked like getting involved in play again, the referee should stop play and send him off.
I suspect the referee didn’t immediately realise he was already on a yellow, when he played the advantage. As someone else has said, while it can’t be technically classed as an error by the referee, it is very, very strongly advised that they shouldn’t be playing advantage in situations like that, to avoid the exact scenario you mention.
