Re: Norwich charged by FA

Indeed. Referee's aren't going to get respect if they send off relative nobodies like Lemina for being the 3rd man, but allow Andy Robertson to have a tantrum whenever he wants.

I was hoping it showed a different angle to the red card. Did Piroe actually touch Cullen with the stamp? Cullen didn't react to it, he was already holding his head.
