Good for us to see it from a different angle, slow it down, rewatch it again and again. Seen these get red cards in professional leagues.
The point being, if the refs allow players to run in and argue with them, why would running and arguing with another player be deemed as worse.
Certainly refs can get it wrong and this is not the poorest call I've seen, but it was the wrong decision as proven by the judiciary, so those arguing it was justified should think again.
