No he gave him a second yellow.Was that the red card too?
If that's the case theyll put him on leave till the end of the season with pay. Maybe any bonuses and all that will be void.The ref says he slipped
He gave the 2nd yellow because the Nantes player complained about the kick.
We'll see if the referee can be held accountable. It's supposed to be his last year, it may be time for an early retirement.
I doubt that, this happened at the end of the game, in a heated moment. I'd be surprised if they run it back but we'll see.Surely the game will have to be replayed.
Cheeky bastard. I wonder if the ref would accept that as an acceptable excuse if it were the other way around.The ref says he slipped
A kick out and a second yellow for an accidental clash surely means the ref was not fit to judge match. An unfit referee should mean a void result.I doubt that, this happened at the end of the game, in a heated moment. I'd be surprised if they run it back but we'll see.
Would you be happy if it was a horse he kicked?If that was in the Premier League the player would have received a 3 game suspension.
Whoops, cheers.Ahhh @Irrational. great minds and you are quicker as usual
We'll see if that's how they decide to interpret it. Leagues are usually very protective of their refs, but this is a case of never-seen-before as far as I can remember, someone correct me on this. It'll be interesting to see what the response is over the next few days.A kick out and a second yellow for an accidental clash surely means the ref was not fit to judge match.

The player will get a extra ban for his little shove at the ref, which was silly too. That’s what will happen and the ref if he is retiring will be put on early retirement.We'll see if that's how they decide to interpret it.

I wouldn't be too bothered but I know better than to kick a horse when they can kick you right back. Now choking, that requires some skill.Would you be happy if it was a horse he kicked?
Bit of handbags. Nothing more nothing less.
I think in a case like this it's the 4th official's job to send off the ref and take over the game himself.HAS a ref ever sent himself off? If there was ever such a time this was it... the refs report would be epic
It’s the captain is crazy, the president is a nazi situation, so beloved of Hollywood; “sir, I am very sorry Sir, but... I must relieve of your duties, as myself and the first mate deem you incapable of leading us”.I think in a case like this it's the 4th official's job to send off the ref and take over the game himself.
