    Not sure what he got wrong. Tbh both Kane and Sterling are as ‘skilled’ in the diving stakes as any and he didn’t fall for their ‘nonsense’.
    Might be a case for saying that tackle on Grealish deserved a red but otherwise I’ve no idea why you’d describe him as you have.
    We lost, fair and square, get over it.

    Agreed he got the big decisions right esp Sterling’s dive which I thought deserved a booking.

    Maybe not what you're used to TTR. It's also not the way he refs here. He let a lot go in order to let the game flow. The question that will never get answered is, was he under instructions to prevent a stop/start game?

    He certainly wasn't biased as he didn't favour or do down either side. Chiellini got a yellow as, under the current Laws, that was the correct decision which begs the question "do the Laws need changing so that such a cynical, premeditated foul is always a red or maybe introduce a sin bin"?. The studding of Grealish received a free kick and no card. It looked bad but Jack did go to ground causing the Italian player to jump. The question here is, did he consciously only jump sufficiently to land on Jack or did that happen by accident? If the ref isn't certain, he's not going to give a yellow.

    Sorry, but you're wrong. The Italians were pulling every trick in the book and he did nothing to end it. Yes it was obvious they had come to stop England playing freely and with the amount of harrassing they did. It worked well. However, when a man was beaten, you can bank on a shirt pull etc to halt it. He could have stopped it, but bottled it. ]

    As for Grealish, that was a red all day long. Studs at full stretch, didn't connect the ball but smacked Grealish just beow the knee. That could easily have been a leg break.
    People playing the game longer than you agreed.

    he isn't on his own. Most referees take the safe option in big games.
    Only Collina would have had the guts to do it

    Was Chiellini’s foul any more ‘cynical and premeditated’ than any other, MA?
    It was certainly more spectacular because we’re so unused to seeing a player grabbed by the scruff of the neck and curiously in rugby it might also have constituted a ‘high tackle’ and led to a yellow...possibly more.
    It was also certainly a professional foul, although not in an obvious goal scoring position, and ultimately no worse than a trip, so I think maybe the ref was about right.
    Agree with you about ‘time out/sin bin’ cards. Reckon both rugby codes have got that one right and it also means that the team that are ‘sinned’ against receive the immediate benefit.
