Central Defender
Considering how much of an awful decision it looks to send Brown off instead of O'Shea, looking at the angle he saw it from, I can see why he gave it the way he did. It does look like 2 fouls with Brown being the one that eventually brings Falcao down (from East's full pace, one view angle), not good enough but human error and not fair to always blame referees. This is the sort of decision that could easily, and immediately, be rectified by a 4th official/technology. Been proven to work with goal line technology. Obviously there must be a line to it as there are times people disagree after seeing multiple slowed down replays, but if anything that just emphasises how tough it is for refs to make split second decisions under pressure. If the governing bodies can work out a system that suits immediate replays for obvious fouls/cards etc it would be majorly beneficial to the game.
