This is how much I like footy now. I was watching a Serie B game yesty

Catania were one of the teams. The ref sent a player off for an elbow of which was a coming together. His hand brushed the other guys face. The reaction was so delayed and play acted. The ref second yellowed him

Took the player an age to leave the field because (rightly) he just couldn't believe how stupid the ref was

Better still, same team in the last minute, defender tried to bring the ball down to clear it from defence, handled it THREE TIMES in one motion. Bounced off his arm where his bicep was, to his forearm, then onto the other arm before he managed to kick it

No pen given. I was nearly wetting myself with laughter

It beats how I used to feel getting annoyed with why officials can't follow rules
