Tell me what's wrong fam.
People are using the wildest arguments for/against any of the three red cards.
First one was double yellow and thus red; 2nd yellow is legit, dude could have just kicked out the ball and nothing would have happened. In the recaps I saw they didn't show his 1st one so there might be an issue but the thing is once a yellow stands after the game moved on it stands and thus the whole arguing about the 1st red is pretty pointless.
2nd red card was allegedly bc of some foul language. Couldn't find any audio of what the player said to the ref but arguing about red for being disrespectful against the ref, a player or anybody else on or around the pitch is absolutely pointless. Doesn't matter if you yell "Fuck" bc you missed a good chance or if you tell the ref to fuck his own mom, "Fuck" is an automatic red tho some refs tend to overhear it bc if they would force this rule consequently we would see red cards thrown around like candy.
3rd red is what most people are going nuts about. Ref decided the Lazio player committed some violent conduct. IMO it's a bit harsh, he could have deemed it as unsporting behavior and shown a yellow card instead. But if the ref decides it's violent conduct it is automatically a red card. There is no room for yellow.
But the point is refs are advised to use common sense and be very careful about red cards (as long as the action doesn't demand a red card per se). Would that scene have happened like in the first 10 minutes or so and the ref would have given a red you can bet your balls that the Italian association will ask him if he's a fucking retard and very likely not give him any Seria A game for the next weeks. But it happened like two minutes before the end of the game. Nevertheless the ref could have shown a yellow card to not further pour gasoline in an already heated match. It's called discretion.
Another point is the Lazio player used one of his arms to slightly swing and that's violent conduct. In slow motion it looks more like violent conduct but in real time it's not that wild and the ref could have just deemed it as shoving which is unsporting behavior then. Shoving usually only counts as violent conduct if you do it like on a completely unsuspecting player. Like when they are all around the ref, yelling at him and the players yelling at each other, shoving each other and one player would sprint to the hurdle and shove another player from behind. As a player your not suspected to know what's going on in your back to avoid being fouled/attacked.
And tbf the Lazio player brought it on himself too. All he had to do was to fall and it would have been a free kick and automatic yellow for the Milan player bc he was clearly holding the Lazio's player arm for quite some time and that would have been then a tactical foul.
Also the refs decision on red card #1 and #3 are not consistent. The first red card was bc of two yellow cards, the 2nd for basically the same sort of action the Lazio player did who saw the 3rd card (which was a clean red). So either show both Lazio players yellow or both a clean red one.
Basically three very stupid red cards and in all cases you can clearly blame the Lazio players for being to hot headed but the ref could have handled at least the last red card way better.
There was a controversial penalty scene where the refs decided against penalty. But penalty bc of foul or handplay, yeah, not going to dig into this bc that's where the rules have gone really wild (handball) and open room for the ref to decide (foul).
Milan got a coal scrapped too bc of offside. The offside technology they used nowadays clearly shows that the shoulder and the knee of the Milan player where in the forbidden zone. Both body parts are allowed to use to score so it's offside. But I saw people arguing that using the shoulder would be handplay and thus not qualifies for offside which is simply not true. Even it would be true then there is still the knee in the offside.
