I thought it was for the kicking of the ball away after the whistle, despite none of the commentators saying so. I mean, it’s a bullshit call to dish out a red for that in the last minute of the half, but that seems par for the course, doesn’t it?

Well Jon Champion did shed some light and he said the communication he heard between VAR and Oliver was that the card was for the push and not for kicking it the ball. They're just covering their tracks at this point

I would love for the club to lodge a complaint with the PL, we can afford the £30k fine
