So instead of saying that, they make up some bull**** to try and convince you it wasnt a foul. And slowly you lose respect for referees.
But it was a clear and obvious error, just like that lino who thought Gabby was offside when nicking Vik's goal but wasn't.

Not the lino's fault, it was tight and did look a bit iffy in real time.

You needed a slow-mo close up to see just how blatant it was.

Do you think the fact that if it was a foul, it would have to be a red scared them? Even if we miss the pen the Chavs aren't winning with ten.

Didn't want the game to be all about their decision.

Which would be strange cos they normally want to be the stars of the show.
