The other thing we haven’t discussed is that none of these happened in the Premier League.There was another when Correa was sent off in the 92nd minute of the second leg of Bayern v Sevilla in April 2018 in the CL. There is some debate whether that was an advantage played or the incident was missed by the referee. But as the foul was clear and on the player with the ball, the referee cannot have missed it. I can't find a clip of the full incident.
There will be other examples in video archives and plenty more not recorded by TV cameras.
It's true, these situations are rare. But I speak as a former referee in saying that every referee knows to play an advantage if possible, even when a sending off is necessary. And I also believe most referees even down in junior football, will deal with officials when the ball is out of play.
To argue that Taylor was correct in this situation is wrong, especially when the LOTG explicitly provides for advantage to be played when a red card is appropriate, and when there is clear precedence presented to you. I challenge you to show me one other incident when a referee stopped play to deal with a team official when an advantage should or could have been played.
There’s already been debate about how CL games are refereed differently in Europe than in the Premier League.
I’m not that clued up on Scottish football. I don’t think many people have watched it since the turn of the century after it turned into a nicher sport than Kabaddi.
