Tomori's red card

The way the referees behave at times, it's as if the didn't even pass through training before they become referee because I've been wondering why Fikayo Tomori's offense because red card, for an offense that didn't even worth yellow card, I understand that it's penalty offense but the referee's decision is too harsh! Even Jorginho that played the penalty confessed that it didn't worth Red Card and still said that is what brought down AC Milan's morale to beat Chelsea because they have made decision to play with everything they have in the second leg after they lost the first leg at Old Trafford but the red card made them loose at San Siro on tuesday because it's not easy to play ten against 11 players.

Chelsea fans don't want anything against their club but it can't be possible because this is football where mistakes do happens. When Mark Cucurella was fowled against Tottenham Hotspur and the build up resulted to goal, we know it's not fair at all and we talked about it, it was the video assistance referee that made that mistake which didn't favour Chelsea but against Crystal Palace when Thiago Silver fell down and used his hand to kicked ball away, it favoured Chelsea because the action is a red card offense, on tuesday, the referee and video assistant referee has favour Chelsea with Fikayo Tomori's red card but Chelsea fans won't talk about that.

In the rule of football, if a player commit two offense and it has lead to penalty against his club, such player would receive only one punishment, so Fikayo Tomori's offense should be yellow card, not straight red card offense but the only offense a player commit that worth Red Card and penalty is if a player kick out the ball that almost score with his hand, just like it happens last season when Reece James push the ball that almost score out with his hand against Liverpool. Reece James denied goal scoring because the ball was going inside the net. Mason Mounts was with ball, it is not sure that he would score, he would kick it out and goalkeeper may save it, so it's not a red card offense.

In 2005 final Champions League Barcelona versus Arsenal that Arsenal goalkeeper collected Red card, there is still controversy on that up till now because people said its too early for referee to give goalkeeper red card because the match never even reach 20 minutes. Although referee was right then because the decision he made is just one, goalkeeper was the last man and he fell Samuel Eto'o and it was outside box, so it was free kick, what people are talking about is that referee should use his own discretion because it was a final match, he didn't make mistake and the ball later scored by Geely, so he should have just leave the goalkeeper unpunished or just give him yellow card, that won't spoil the match.

If people still have 2005 match record unforgotten, then AC Milan vs Chelsea is a match that can't be forgotten.

Nope buddy the rules have been changed. This days it’s quite difficult to catch up with the rules because they seem to update it every season.

As soon as the ref gives a penalty for an offence by a player that player is automatically sent off. And I think that happened in this match. If the red card wouldn’t have come at all then the penalty shouldn’t have been given.

We can say it shouldn’t have been a red if the player was fouled outside the box but anyways it’s still a red.

Ok buddy you have a point there. But this makes me to remember that Osasuna player offence; the match in which Benzema played the penalty away.

It was a similar offence, a the defender shoved Benzema at the back and then he was sent off and benzema awarded a penalty.

I don't believe this, that shouldn't be a red card offence.

Sometimes we can argue because we don't like that rule. But just as the VAR has inconsistencies, it is same as the refs. Some refs won't give a straight red but from the new rules it's a straight red, they go hand in hand.
