If it was a penalty [which it wasn't] why wasn't Macca red carded as he was the last player. I think after the ref made the decision he wasn't 100% sure so bottled out of changing it.


Double jeopardy rule. If he's deemed to be making a genuine attempt to play the ball and not the man, then it's just a penalty with no red card.

Ref got it completely wrong, as it wasn't a penalty because he clearly got the ball first, but he got the double jeopardy aspect correct at least.

The penalty is seen as the punishment. Ridiculous rule because if he mistimes a tackle outside the box it is a red!
