always innovative those Dutch
your right though, the inference seems to be Hughton wants to move to 433 as the default?

I see, he’s got no field of vision, that will explain him missing the pen, not giving corners, and other mistakes.

The ref must have been aware of something because Field went down, and stayed down. The ref walked over to him to see what was wrong.
He isn't looking up in that still. His head is straight, not tilted back.

A warning would be great but can you recall a similar situation with the same sort of video evidence lead to a player getting off with a warning?

The whole retrospective thing is absurd IMHO , had the ref seen it and been a red card its a one match suspension , as the ref didnt see it (no fault of Andone's the ref didnt see it) he gets a 3 match ban which suggests Andone was able to do it on purpose knowing the ref could not see.
The system has been good for clearing unwarranted cards but to use it to give an increased ban simply because the officials had no view of an incident is wrong and unfair especially when you look at incidents like Lukaku's against Bong last season.

The fact he has been charged, means that the FA have already considered the footage and have found him guilty.
He has a right to appeal that guilty verdict, but history suggests that is a waste of time.
It’s considered violent conduct. Would be a three match ban if given at the time, too.

Besides, we’re supposed to believe that an experienced ref at the top of the profession isnt keeping his eye on the two players contesting the ball?
We’ve been stitched up on this one. No doubt ref saw it, and like the rest of the ground didn’t think anything of it in real time. Sees it after and dishonestly to my mind as it looks a lot worse on replays, he’s gone with he hasn’t seen it.

I always thought the ref does not ball watch but looks at the area where the ball is expected to arrive. This is quite noticeable at corners and set pieces.

While you’re probably right on appealing, I’d be tempted to send in footage and stills and ask for clarification as to how exactly the ref hasn’t seen it when he’s a few metres away looking at the incident.
‘The ref should have seen it and sent me off at the time’, isn’t a great defence, though!

As someone pointed out, your interpretation is wrong as it is violent conduct whether at the time or retrospectively. Personally there should be more retrospective action, especially for diving, whether or not the referee saw it.

Not as a defence, but he shouldn't even be subject to the process if the referee has seen it. Rules is rules.

To repeat, every game we play now is televised. How do you think people can watch every game we play, or how we get highlights on MotD, Sky or Seagulls Player?

This whole ''missed by the ref'' business is a farce. The ref may have seen something but in the cold light of day after watching countless for a load of different angles may feel that they got it wrong after more time to consider it and away from the pressure of baying fans an both sets of players in his face. What exactly are they trying to achieve with this nonsense rule?

No wonder the Dutch were so good at Total Football
