wake me up before you gogo who needs potter when
The ref sends the player off and awards a pen then goes to linesman and over rules him self and brings the player back on and gives a drop ball lol
at least the right decision was made in the end..but did the assistant not wave his flag before the ref gave it?
Progress. But questions must be asked as to why he did that. Presumably this game didn't have replays on show.
He gave what he saw, then had the courage to consult another member of his team and change his mind.

what a precedent that sets......am certain that cannot be done ?
Why give it without consulting him in the first place?
It can. After the ref has made a decision, he has until play restarts to change his mind, if he feels it necessary.
Because he thought it was a penalty. The ref is in charge, if he thinks he sees an offence he has to call it, he can't stop and go check with his assistant every time he is confident he saw an offence, just in case he is wrong. He gave it, came to the realisation that maybe he was wrong (or maybe the assistant called him over), had the humulity to trust the assistant's different opinion.
It's unfair to criticise referees who make decisions, then go speak to assistants to make sure, then when finding out they were wrong change their original decision, especially when it's been less than two weeks since everyone was criticising a referee for making a decision on what he saw (as refs are supposed to do) then using his assistance when doubt on that decision arose.

While I agree with this, if he was certain enough to brandish the red so quickly I wonder what the assistant referee said to change his mind. If he wasn't clear why didn't he give the penalty then discuss with the linesman if he wasn't certain. To me the difference between taking back a penalty and taking back a red card is a bit different.
