       Reminded me of the incident with the French referee (Chapron?)
       who briefly lost his cool when he got tripped accidentally and
       sent off the player. One of those incidents where you just laugh
       it off (or let the player give you a red card 😂). Player
       wasn’t bothered. Was the game already tetchy and he just lost
       his cool??

       I would be most interested to know from the esteemed
       correspondents who registered a disagreement with my #Reply 5
       what is the nature of their disagreement. Was it the player did
       not realise it was the referee's arm ? The player reacted too
       strongly ? The referee initially seemed to take no action ? The
       referee may have received advice from a colleague ? A good
       reaction was to make a joke of the incident and take no further
       action ?  Any or all of these ?

       I'd be fascinated too, sometimes people just disagree or dislike
       because they can I suppose. But I couldn't work out which bit
       they disagree with either.

       OK, here goes. I certainly don't think Paul had the time to
       receive advice from a colleague. I tend to agree with Arbitre
       anglais that he lost his cool (literally) and reacted in
       completely the wrong way to the incident. Hot afternoon and all
       that. I would hope Paul would hold his hands up to this one and
       support an appeal against the red card before moving on.

       What we don't know from this is what the player said.  My guess
       would be that is what triggered the red, especially as this a
       PGMOL appointment and they have been instructed to use zero
       tolerance.  Really struggling to see what other reason there
       could be for it.

       Receiving a sudden and unexpected physical blow can be quite a
       shock to the system so I certainly think it's credible that
       Marsden lost his composure and couldn't understand the context
       but received it as a deliberate assault for which a red card
       would be the appropriate response.

       I don't think there was sufficient time for his colleagues to
       say anything to Mr Marsden. And if they did say anything like
       you mention, I'd be seriously worried about their judgement.
       But, having seen Mr Marsden officiate in the flesh, as it were,
       his actions in that incident don't surprise me.

       It may well be that the explanation lies in what the player said
       rather than his action. Perhaps Marsden did initially try to
       make a joke of it ( his body language starts off looking relaxed
       ) but if that was met with a mouthful of abuse, he was right to
       show the red card. Not everyone can take a jocular comment. I
       guess only the player and referee know precisely what happened.
