So he shouldn't give it to Real Madrid. But if it happened to Juventus he should give a penalty as he would give it to Real Madrid?
There is obvious and regular conscious bias in refereeing decisions. To remove this, before they consider giving any decision their first thought could be would I give it the other way?
Would take a complete change in mindset and training, but would improve standards imo.
I go back to the Mane red card at Manchester City. Since then numerous high boots have hit players in the upper body and head this season and none have been issued a red card. Furthermore, if that had been David Silva on the Liverpool goalkeeper I don't think it would have been a sending off.
The final point about Oliver in particular and it goes back to the game he referee'd us against Blackpool. When the lad is on a live TV game more often than not he makes decisions that put the spotlight on him as opposed to the sport. Non live TV games he's proved himself to be a very good ref more often than not.
It's no surprise we haven't got any representatives in Russia in the summer if he is our best.
