       give a second yellow for exactly the same tackle because it’s
       ONLY Accrington Stanley v Sutton. That’s basically what we’re

       Having seen numerous L1 and L2 games this season where there
       have been 7 or 8+ etc yellow cards for what could be described
       as games with hardly a bad tackle in them, yet the majority of
       those YCs justified in keeping with the new directives, I am
       absolutely convinced this is another example where a referee has
       got the basics of protecting players within the Laws absolutely
       wrong. Usually it is the National List newbies I have seen who
       appear to be concentrating on the new time wasting/additional
       injury time etc directives, at the expense of dangerous tackles
       going unpunished, or at least punished inconsistently.
       Back to Oliver in this particular game and I'm not fully
       convinced the first tackle was a straight red, although had
       Oliver produced a red I don't think VAR is then overturning it.
       Looking at the possible second yellow another way, in that had
       Oliver then shown a second yellow, I don't think there is anyone
       out there (player, referee, fan, neutral, pundit) who would say
       he shouldn't have.

       There's a huge difference.  Whether a challenge is a caution or
       a sending off is in the opinion of the referee, they see the
       challenge and then they base the outcome based on the laws.
       Changing a decision after play has restarted isn't in the
       opinion of the referee, it is black and white wrong as law says
       it must not happen.

       Clattenburg would know all about “game management” after one of
       the worst refereeing performances and abrogation of duty ever
       seen in a top flight game when he has admitted allowing Spurs to
       escape a minimum or 4 red cards in the game at Chelsea that
       resulted in Leicester winning the league. His explanation was
       that he did not want to send a Spurs player off so that it was
       seen as the reason for costing them the league.
       Walker, Dier, Dembele and Lamela all escaped obvious and
       incontrovertible red cards and caused utter chaos at the end of
       the game.

       From what I see the boundaries between sanctions, as applied,
       are so broad as to be meaningless.  If my thoughts on what
       constitutes a dangerous challenge were applied then Kovacic
       would have seen red for the first challenge.  However, remember
       I thought the the challenge on De Bruyne by Rudiger that
       fractured his eye socket was also dangerous and that was
       ridiculed on here.  I also read on here that studs to ankle
       challenges are generally thought of as yellow cards - so I
       suppose the first challenge as yellow fits that descriptor.  The
       second challenge was similar though perhaps not quite so
       forceful and I thought it should have been a second yellow and a
       red.
       Go back a week and the situation was mirrored in the Wolves v
       City with Hee-Chan playing the part of Kovacic with a first
       challenge that could well have been red and a second that in my
       eyes should have been yellow.  Flipmode reported this but
       otherwise it produced no comment, even though it arguably had
       more influence on the result as Hee-Chan scored the winner for
       Wolves.  Of course the City game wasn't shown live on TV and
       could only be seen in full retrospectively on City+ tv.  I long
       ago gave up watching match of the day or its equivalents as I
       find that the editing often gives a distorted view of games
       where I watched the whole game and certain incidents are either
       ignored  or over emphasized depending on the whim of the
       producers.  So I don't know if the Hee-Chin decisions were given
       as much prominence as the Kovacic ones, but I suspect not.
       When I was an active microscopist I often got involved in
       identifying "foreign bodies" in food, particularly in the late
       80's when food scares were in vogue.  I was often bemused as, to
       me, relatively trivial incidents could be blown up in the media
       whilst, to me, much more serious incidents were ignored.  It
       seems to me a general characteristic of the media - recently the
       uncle of my son's fiancee was killed in a motor cycle accident
       near Darvel.  Apart from a police appeal for witnesses it was
       difficult to find any report of it even in the local papers yet
       I regularly see other fatal road accidents making headlines and
       I can't fathom why the difference.  Same with footballing
       incidents, some are blown out of proportion whilst other similar
       ones are given low key treatment.

       They are still vastly different.  Jota's was stopping a
       promising attack, there's no question of the foul on Rice being
       SPA given where it happened on the pitch.  So the only question
       is was it careless or reckless.

       I copy this directly from social media:
       “Letting himself down and someone needs to give him a kick up
       the backside. Work rate not good enough. He is coasting. Should
       not have been allowed to officiate in the Middle East on
       Thursday with such a big game appointment.”
       Sounds like any other fan comment, right? From bloody Keith
       Hackett of all people. With friends like these who needs
       enemies?

       Not sure why Brooks would face any repercussions, VAR cannot
       intervene on a SYC and the foul on Rice was certainly not SFP.
       Unusually poor from Oliver not to issue a SYC.
       Also correct not to intervene on the yellow card given. The foul
       could have been given as red or yellow on field, but too much
       doubt to be overturned by VAR.
