Was this the referee's fault? According to the player that attacked him, it was. The problem with referee subjectivity in making calls is that no matter what, it is always the ref's fault.
Notice how the referee was not able to pull out the red card until he got confirmation from one of the other referee's that actually saw the incident. Debate actually went around that the assistant referee did not actually see the incident, but instead he saw it on the replay on the big screen. If this was the case, the red card should not have been handed out according to FIFA rules.

ha. this is cool. Im pretty sure replay would help soccer. It's come in handy with march madness this year on more than one occasion.
ReplyDeleteI love that the issue was how they saw the headbutt not whether or not it happened. I think there at least has to be some kind of review for things like this for after game punishments, kind of like the NFL does with dangerous hits or the NBA goes back and reviews technical fouls.
