Shocking incompetence. I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how many referees are in the pitch, their idiocy and cowardice knows no bounds!

Retrospective punishment is needed in cases like this for the player AND the referees!

Exactly the same as Lansbury on Manning at Luton 4 years ago. That also wasn't a red. Apparently.

I've said it before - some of these refs, they don't know what a foul is, they don't know what a goal kick is, they don't have a clue what's going on in front of them half the time. And then they fail upwards into the PL, like Atwell.

Standard of the refs have got worse recently.
Its frightening.

I'm normally supportive of refs and the difficult job they have, but that decision was shocking...red all day long !!

We've had 5 or 6 in a row now who've been utterly pathetic

It's not even the big decisions like that I find the most terrifying. It's stuff like goal kicks, corners and throw ins, they can be a matter of yards away and they will give it the opposite way to what thousands of other people in the stadium can see was blatantly obviously the other way. What sometimes makes it even worse is their assistants are even closer than them and they don't even correct them

We’ll know we’re really scraping the incompetence barrel if Ronald is ever given a free kick.

Terrifying ..gotta love the drama on this board. But football does that I know

That was a red card but maybe the ref assessed the character of the player or maybe there was some previous offence against him.

Watched the Morroco v Mali game. The ref was useless. Most blatant penalty to Mali in history of the game. Ref allowed the game to continue to VAR. No yellow/red for the defender.

Terrifying that there are thugs about prepared to risk another players livelihood with challenges like that.

Something must be done, i feel retrospective action helps the other clubs rather than the clubs affected.

I was a ref for ten years at county level in Herefordshire. You'll never get a lino overruling a ref, it isn't done. The ref might ask advice if he didn't see something, but once he's made a decision, that's it. He will often say before they go out, wait for my lead before you give a throw in. Haven't you seen linos look at the ref and wait for his signal before flagging which team is getting the throw in? That's why.

Not every time surely? Just the marginal ones you mean.

Depends on the individuals, it's not hard and fast, but yes, usually only the marginal ones.
