We warned you this was going to happen. No-one knows what the fuck is going on anymore, and it's all the 20 minute red's fault.
Cancel the trial. It's shit.

The referees agree he deliberately stamps on a player twice but because its low force its only a 20 minute red
So deliberate violent conduct isnt a red?
