The ref would have been well within his rights to send
off the player even if he allows the goal according to
the laws.
Yes but isn't that the point. Why would a ref want any such "right" ? For
what purpose ? What does it acheive except spoiling the game ? Have we lost
sight of something ?
Another ref may also have cautioned Eboue for the dive
he took to obtain the free-kick from which Campbell
scored, so (given the Ivorian had already been booked)
Arsenal could have been 0-0 and down to 9 men with 55
minutes to play.
No argument with that but that would just highlight why the first sending
off should not have taken place. Totally spoiling the game because you have
taken action previously that wasn't necessary, only compounds the situation.
Precious little said about that I note.
because that isn't the subject of the discussion perhaps ?
BTW, the best team in Europe won the tournament, so
no-one should have any complaints.
For sure. I have no complaints about the result.
