Barkley should have been sent off - twice. This nonsense is a real problem for the FA and they need to grow a pair and address it.

You can't let Rojo get away with a red card tackle and Zlatan just annihilating a CB on a charge, then a few days later hit Vardy with a straight red for a clear ESO/SFP tackle. They need the power to retroactively give a red card for a clear SFP challenge or anything else cameras caught that the referee either didn't or chose to let slip by. And punish referees who were either out of position or chose not to enforce the laws of the game properly.


Indeed

That tackle on Henderson was, without question, an easy straight red.

If it makes you feel better, officiating, in general, at all levels sucks.

This was ruled a completed pass on Sunday.


Henderson took the high road.

He accepted the belated apology for the "unintentional" and mistimed tackle. Barkley clearly knew what he was doing. And I'm sure that Henderson knows that. I wonder if he actually accepts the apology or just doesn't want to draw attention to himself for the return trip to Anfield.
