He's no ref, that's for sure!
And some do mean to control the ball with their hand. Just like some try to trick the ref into thinking they've been shot.
What Bunn did today looked NOTHING like he was trying to control the ball with any part of his arm.
Watch the replay.
He jumped (his arms helped him propel up, like most normal people would do) and the ball looks like it hit him on the upper part of his chest, under his arm pit.
I'm not sure why you see this as a blatant red card offence tbh, but each to their own and all that.
