Yeah maybe.
Don't agree with straight red for Rutter, that would have been a travesty imv. Booking for Pedro though, absolutely. I HATE that in his game, and a reason, despite his quality, I won't be all that upset if he gets sold this summer.
I'm not going to blame Pedro entirely. The coaching team need to have very strong words with him. It's a thoroughly irritating feature of the game generally but Pedro in particular and I would have no problem with the FA enforcing retrospectively.

Just watched MOTD again on i-Player - Mitoma's 'goal'............. looks like a perfect example of a 50/50 ball to me. Of course Mitoma had a right to follow it in, IMHO. Oh well, some bright sparks keep changing and re-defining the rules, just have to live with it.
''It is what it shouldn't be,'' perhaps.

If the keeper has weak hands in that moment I can’t see why it’s disallowed. He pushes it onto Mitoma’s arm. I still think the result would have been a draw just wondering why keepers get so much protection.

Totally agree. The best atmosphere at an away game this season for me. The left/right Brighton boys chants had me chuckling for a good while.

I was top tier ( right side, of course).
Was the chant across all three tiers?
