Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

And where he gets, where the referee gets sort of, I think, uses the terminology mitigation.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

is that he says he's dropping into the tackle.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

To me, he's shaping a pass and naturally to do so, he has to drop his shoulder and he's saying, well, that's why he's dropping into it.

But he's not dropping into the tackle to go to ground.

He's shaping to pass the ball.

So if you go and look at the protocols for yellow card sort of head contact process, has the head contact occurred?

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Yes.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Was there any foul play?

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Yes.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

What was the degree of danger?

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Well, I think that there's

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

the high degree of danger, and it says mitigation will not apply for any intentional or highly reckless acts.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Well, I think it's highly reckless, but if there is mitigation, it goes to yellow card.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

And that's where you'll hear the ref say the mitigation was that he was falling into it.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network

And so by using that magic word mitigation,

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

I think that that's where it all lets it go.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

And so when the TMO looks at it, he's got in the back of the head, there's mitigation.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

If that word had never been said, I think we would have seen that the TMO would have elevated it to arrest.

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Jeff the Ref: Why Blues' Zarn Sullivan Should Have Been Red Carded

Yeah, I think so.

I'm just looking to see how often Jordan's actually had a game, and he hasn't had many.
