Nonetheless...it's the 87th minute of an English Division 3 game that matters to no more than 7000 people in the universe. I ask again - who actually complains if he uses his loaf and doesn't count beans? Do you think bigwigs at the FA are going to pore over the footage and give him a week off for his heinous misdemeanour if he doesn't book Kashi a second time?
Personally I don't ask for consistency above all - I ask for the ref that know their place in the game is not to be noticed.
Well that 6999 might be complaining about the lack of consistency next game if the laws aren't consistently applied by the ref as that is the main complaint I hear and read about. Fair enough if you think the law is too prescriptive (I can agree with that) but the Ref did the right thing in this case.
