They had just changed the rules to apparently stop injustices like this happen due to them not being able to act.But they didn't really see it. Football rules are always stupid, and I'm sure those same rules would be applied to reviews of dives. The ref saw the player running in the general direction of the incident, therefore the panel is powerless.
Then a few weeks later this (Torres scratch) happened and they said "we're not able to act"
And everyone was like... "Well what the fuck was that rule change for then!!?"
And calls were made for further rule changes
Basically whether they didn't see it, saw part of it, saw it wrong, completely cocked up their (ref's) decision, they need to just say they're all open to be acted on retrospectively. Too much protection of primadonna refs that don't like to admit mistakes.
Anyway Suarez is due a biting soon... Coz it doesn't look like anyone's used the nail clippers on his teeth in a while so he'll take matters into his own hands.
