refs at World cup can show red cards well after the event


Recommended Posts

That's basically what happened to Zidane in 2006. All the officials missed the headbutt, but the ref saw the replay on the big screen (after Buffon chased him down and told him to watch it) and issued the red card.

As such, there is an argument that that was the first use of VAR, 10 years before it was invented!

I would have thought till the ref has followed the teams down the tunnel  after 90 minutes.

Players have been issued with red cards  even after 90 minutes in the past

Ade Akinbuyi in our very own (old) tunnel. 

Headbutted someone, can’t remember who, I was 4 at the time :yes:
