I agree, and thought surely the ref will add on at least another minute to the "minimum added time" - but no. Expect he'll be marked down for that in whatever the international refs panel marking scheme might be Disagree about the challenges, I thought the ref got it just about right. The Walker challenge was one of those that another ref might've given but he gave the benefit of the doubt to Walker who looked to be trying to get the ball cleanly, and there was sufficent doubt about the actual contact made. In those circumstances, the ref has got to err on the side of caution (no caution required...) Edit: expect TS will have gone to the kitchen to make a brew, so will have missed it [Post edited 6 Sep 2017 14:08]
