    So… if Saliba’s “handball” was a penalty, shouldn’t there have been a card shown? US broadcasters said that VAR told the ref that Mudryk’s header was heading on target, it wasn’t, but if that were the case shouldn’t that be a red card? I feel like they gave the penalty just to give the penalty. I’ve never been one to be stirred up by poor reffing decisions but with the Kovacic situation and now this last game that should’ve, imo, warranted at least one red card, I can’t help but feel genuinely pissed off.

      They stopped giving penalties and sending people off unless there’s no attempt to play the ball.

      Players don’t get straight red cards for handballs unless they’re literally wanting to play goalkeeper without the gloves.
