I mean we watched the referee give an incorrect decision and we saw VAR review it and also gave the wrong decision. Why would an independent panel be exempt from similar melons? 2/5 saying Bruno shouldn’t have gotten a red should mean that they should get chucked off the panel immediately. I have no problem with them saying Havertz should have gotten a red as long as the consistency of this is applied throughout the season, likelihood of that is nil. Udogie, with a very similar and arguably worse tackle, literally didn’t get a red a game later from VAR. As for the Joelinton call, swap the players around and Gabriel would have conceded a penalty and people would have said he was an idiot. I mean I remember this apparently being enough contact to be deemed stonewall.
