> On Ref Watch, the two tackles which were not punished by red
were deemed correct by only producing a yellow. I am inclined to
agree and would not criticise the referee here. The Robertson
red card was felt to be incorrect although both pundits said
that on first viewing they thought red. DG went through the laws
and the factors to be considered and consequently felt that it
was not a case of DOGSO. I agree but DG did say that the referee
should have blown for the offence by Robertson and not played
advantage. Had he done so, he would have gained control of the
situation. By allowing play to continue, other factors come in
which cloud the issue. DG made a similar comment in another
game, that is blow early and do not let the situation develop.
Perplexed about VAR not intervening regarding the DOGSO as there
were clear and obvious reasons not to sanction the red card. The
ball went too far from the attacker, the ball was not moving
towards goal and IIRC there was a covering defender? So
Harrington got the red card wrong imho, was let down by VAR but
he did get the other big decisions correct in so far as they
were entirely justifiable.

But then a referee will be blamed for blowing too soon and
ruining a good advantage. Sometimes you are dammed if you do,
dammed if you do not!

While I agree Leggy, in this case Dale Johnson agreed with DG in
that you only play advantage for a red card if there is an
immediate opportunity to score. On the other hand, had Fulham
scored he could have been justified in awarding a yellow card!
