    I was very critical of the decision from the start, but accept refs can get it wrong. If they can learn from this - great. Hopefully the big lesson is to not presume someone has been hit just because they fell to the ground. And if they allow players to run in to complain about a decision, then why wouldn’t someone run in to complain to an opponent.

    You see reds get given at a professional level for this, and while it is all very well to watch the video and rewind and watch it again, the refs don't get this opportunity to do it before making a decision. Had the player not run half a field then there probably wouldn't have been a red card.

    Had the ref called up the first tackle which was one of the most obvious fouls you will see all season then the ensuing melee never happens and the player never runs half the field to get involved.

    The only person to blame for running half a field to get involved is the player

    Not according to the judiciary. And certainly the distance and the world record speed is growing with the telling. Players from both sides came in, but that does not mean an offence was committed. Only obvious offence was the tackle, and only obvious error was the red card as confirmed by the judiciary.

    The distance hasn't changed. The only one that ran in and raised his hand was the player. That's why the Jaffas player fell down because he knew to milk it to draw the red card. Had he not run half a field to join in (and certainly had he not raised his hand) then it wouldn't have happened, that's on the player for getting involved, no one else.

    The judiciary had the benefit of watching a video and from a different angle a benefit the ref doesn't have. Perhaps we need a NPL bunker where play can be stopped and footage can be replayed so a decision can be made.

    But your "half the field" is both wrong and irrelevant.

    Yeah you’re fighting a losing battle here as usual. I’m not saying the player who ran in is entirely innocent however the officials have a duty of care to do their utmost to ensure player well being and safety. As I pointed out the first tackle was possibly even worse than the second one and how the referee and linesman on that side of the field both missed it is baffling.

    This is correct. Let the ref unload on Pappas. He may have received his own red.

    Its actually pretty close. Ultimately. Maitland was out foxed and thus outplayed.

    If it was the other way round Maggies supporters would be loving this. Instead they have losers medals. Enjoy.

    lolol. These wannabes pretending the gals are playing football. Dont get me wrong I love everyone playing any game but being elite is the biggest patronising Joke i have ever seen in sport. Remember when the not very good Jets 15s creamed the Matildas? Well nothing has changed.
    Keep up the pretense and chest beating.

    BTW when did Maitland lads last win the NNSW comp? Waits for jealous w*nkers to spout more BS. gogogo

    Maitland won the comp in 2022
    Jaffas won the grand final, not the comp

    It's football, not s***er!!

    This is why the refereeing standard is so poor, irrespective of what happened before, when is receiving a red card for running 30/40m to lay a hand on an opposing player a clear and obvious error. The match officials on the review panel that revoked the red card are just as bad. And by the way, when is Pappas,s tackle not a red card. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the standard of refereeing is poor across the whole competition.

    Refereeing is subjective. There’s very few objective decisions and it’s mostly interpretation of incidents.
    If you and 9 mates sat down and watched any game, I bet there will be some people who think there’s a foul, if it’s a yellow, if it’s a red or play on.
    Referees aren’t robots. The elite referees make decisions that are questioned and many think are incorrect. Watch an EPL game, World Cup game, a league game, there’s a few decisions each and every game that as a spectator you think “pffft wtf are they watching”.

    Having had the luxury of sitting on a lounge, multiple replays in slow motion, trying to zoom in and watch the 30 seconds prior to the incident, sure maybe there’s a few things that another referee could have done. But also, I don’t think any decisions could be chalked off as obvious error. Depending upon the charge reports Eg if the report says there was a punch and replays show no punch. (Just an example).

    The first tackle from Pappas, could be called, but also, from the angle of the referee and the way the ball comes out, Pappas also does a good job of implying it was a clean tackle with his spray post tackle. I can see how it wasn’t given. Wouldn’t Have a problem if it was.
    Maitland then have a crack at a tackle, that could be deemed a foul or play on.
    Then the Pappas tackle. Referee recognises that it was a foul, calls it’s immediately, runs to the scene, issues the yellow card and most people acknowledge the situation is under control.
    After all this, the Maitland player arrives and pushes the player who ends up on the ground (I’m still unsure whether it was milked or if he just got pushed unexpected and off balance as he’s midstep), regardless player ends up on ground and a melee ensues. The push aggravates the situation.
    The referees all ponder the incident, they take their time, they discuss what they saw in the moment ( without luxury of replays or a good camera angle). And they make a decision.
    The Bar TV commentary team ponder whether a red card will be given or not. The fact they even bring up whether it’s a red card or not, especially before the replay is shown, kind of justifies why it was being considered by the referee, who again, has no replays.

    There’s lots of calls in this period that individually could have gone a number of ways. If he gives a red for the Pappas challenge, I think we are here having the same debate about whether that’s a red card. Some will be saying it is, some will be saying it’s not. Differences in opinion.


    The respect we have for our officials in football is terrible. Stems from EPL and elite leagues down. It’s a culture and code issue. I don’t think there’s another code that gets away with giving the officials so much crap for decisions.

    What about the angle of the senior lineman who was also right there? I was 80m watching with a few mates all neutral supporters and were all were amazed it was let go. As someone said earlier if that very clear and obvious foul gets correctly picked up then you don’t get any of the nonsense that happened after it.
