I have just watched MOTD which I recorded and am even more convinced that it was an accident as Kolisniac never took his eyes off of the ball and was watching it when they collided.
Also, why don't some ref / assistant combos give foul throws? There was on that Wilshere took in front of the West which was one of the most blatant foul throws I've seen in some time. He was walking onto the pitch as he threw it.
I was told by a top ref they have been told to ignore them in order to keep the game flowing unless the offending team gains a great advantage.

The tackle that Stephens go booked for was the one good thing he did all game. Atwell basically lost the plot after the Schelotto incident and gave us nothing from that moment on.
How come Serge Aurier was done for 3 in the Palace match? Also, how do you gain an advantage from a foul throw - unless they're referring to stealing yards down the line?

which one Gramps?
An old Div 1 ref Ray Lewis but I doubt if the advice has been changed in recent times judging by the number of times it happens.
The reason it wasn't an accident is because if you watch Kolisniac he looks at Schelotto long enough to judge exactly what he was doing. Schelotto doesn't look at Kolisniac once and is completely focussed on the ball. Once Kolisniac sees Schelotto, he knows what he's going to do, take Schelotto out with his shoulder, and can look at the ball while that is happening because he knows he won't get hurt leading with his shoulder.
I realise it is futile me telling you this, but I thought I would anyway.

He stopped refereeing in 1993....
exactly - it really is noticeable that Kolasinac is looking at Schelotto and actually raises his shoulder just before contact - it was quite deliberate
That is your opinion and I disagree as did the ref and lino, stood some yards away with a good view, and nothing was made of it on MOTD by Shearer and Gullitt so they didnt consider it worthy of emphasis or a card.
The telling point will be if retro action is taken as Dermot Gallacher, who was one of the worst ever refs, says it should have been a red card apparemtly
IMHO he was protecting himself.
I think the Arsenal player knew exactly what he was doing, in terms of ‘roughing up’ Schelotto.
Yellow card for me.
The fact that MOTD didn’t mention it is irrelevant for me. I would argue that the BT coverage mentioned it, and felt straight red. So differing opinions by ex-pro’s......... nothing new there.
