And, I think the ref lied about seeing it. They were out there for a while asking if anybody saw what happened, and eventually the guy came up and claimed he did...:bs: There are like 3 refs...if one of them actually saw it, it wouldn't have taken that long to come to a decision.
Maybe maybe not, but the bottom line is, was the penalty unjust for the foul committed? There's no way that couldn't have not been a red card. It was intentional contact that didn't even involve the ball. The penalty fit the offense.
