Agree with this. A lot of games these days seem to have a lot of incidents such as this that upon reflection would've changed the match completely. More and more games seem to be decided by the toss of a coin in regards to what decision you get.
The cynic in me thinks that the powers that be are happy with this as it keeps the premier league very unpredictable.
The media in it's different guises are also complicit in this the way they report events.
It would be great if someone could make up a montage of clips where the pundits say our "fouls" are indeed worthy of a red card and then show the same pundit saying the same offence for a different player/team was either not a foul of only a yellow. Just this season there would be no shortage of footage to show the bias/inconsistency/corruption/cheating that pundits and officials have hold over the sport.
This could then be put out on social media, sent to the broadcasters directly and put over the internet so the message would come through loud and clear. The sport is bent and certain individuals and organisations have too much power
