And Stanley, how many times do I have to say it, referees don’t have any input into the sanction. But you’ve obviously got a bee in your bonnet about this, so I give up, you have clearly no idea what you’re talking about.
"Refs don't have any input into the sanction" - That seems weird. Don't they have to report why a player is sent off? I wouldn't expect them to have a vote or even attend the hearing, but surely the judiciary would be guided by a report or a scaling of what happened from the ref. I find Stanley's questioning about what happens quite reasonable.
