No, it's not an opinion. He deliberately kicked someone off the ball and tried to do it twice. That's a red.Or maybe right? or is that just not an option.
I agree with you, there should be explanations for decisions like this and also after games by refs. Managers have to face the press, why not refs.
People make decisions. Some of them are objectively wrong. This is one of them.
I wouldn't be opposed to referees addressing their decisions, but not in the current climate.
They take too much **** as it is. Who'd want to do their job, right now? No wonder the standard's awful.
Treat them like rugby refs, prevent the players and managers slagging them off all the time during games and then maybe change it.
Swings and roundabouts.
