    "But it was unanimous in its view that Havertz should have been sent off for his first-half tackle on Longstaff.

    It also decided by a 3-2 majority that Guimaraes should have been shown a red card for striking Jorginho with an outstretched arm."

    Is it just me or are some (2) of these people morons? Even without any bias for my own team, Guimaraes punching Jorginho in the back of the head, a Jorginho who didn’t even have the ball when hit…that’s literally one of the clearest red cards I’ve ever seen in years and years of watching football. It’s violent conduct with a player’s *head*, isn’t remotely part of a challenge for the ball, and also is clearly deliberate and with malicious intent.

    Again, are these people on this panel actually stupid? Have they been paid by Saudi? The whole thing is a mess.

      The panel was comprised of 3 ex players/managers, 1 PGMOL official, and 1 Premier League representative. It’s pretty clear who the 2 who didn’t think it was a red were from. They are just protecting themselves as usual.
