Where the heck did that concept come from? See also the referee's apparent responsibility to keep 22 players on the pitch at all costs.
Two incidents just now - Ashley Young berating the linesman, then Victor Moses' body-check on Young. Surely those are yellow card offences any day of the week, but for Michael Oliver not wanting a 'tricky situation' later when they commit another yellow card offence? |  |

Correct. Top level refs are charged with managing the event not just the game.
Howard Webs World Cup Final performance was probably the most obvious example and Holland tried to exploit that. Thankfully they weren't rewarded. |  | | |

But surely a bookable offence is a bookable offence, whether it's in the first minute of a World Cup final, or in the last minute of a meaningless end of season game? | |

The worst example was Roger Milford not even cautioning Paul Gascoigne for a hideous tackle early in the 1991 FA Cup Final. A few minutes later, Gascoigne committed a similar offence, rupturing his own cruciate ligament. |  |

Crikey had almost forgotten about that appalling game on the part of Holland. Thankfully natural justice won. I seem to remember one awful challenge that should have been red regardless of the occasion. |  | | |
