    How is this harsh? Lewis heads the ball but the Macedonian player could still go for it if Lewis hadn’t hit him in the face. While it was not intentional it doesn’t matter

    Referees don’t even know the rules at this point. It’s not dangerous, reckless, or impeding so why is it a foul?

    The Macedonian player has bought that by cheating and as always, been rewarded.

    It’s interesting how the pen shout for Maguire has half the comments here on Reddit, even though they are equally outrageous (bad) decisions.

    If you’re going to whinge about reffing, do it consistently…

    Seeing a lot of folk in this thread who have clearly never played the game. No intent in that whatsoever and to get that high up you need to use your arms like that for momentum. Rubbish call from the ref.

      Intent has zero bearing on whether or not it was a foul. If a player mistimes a challenge and catches another player it’s a foul even though they didn’t mean it. If he has to use his arms to get that high he’s leaving the referee with a decision to make if he then catches an opponent in the face.

      You don’t get a free pass just because you’re young and it’s your debut.

    They clearly realised they fucked up on the Maguire call and had to make it up later

    Just how? He’s jumped and headed the ball. Not like he’s thrust an elbow, it’s just part of his jumping motion and his hand has flicked a bloke on his blindside. Genuine shocker that they’ve probably only given to compensate for the one they didn’t get earlier.
