And where he gets, where the referee gets sort of, I think, uses the terminology mitigation.
is that he says he's dropping into the tackle.
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?
Yes.
Was there any foul play?
Yes.
What was the degree of danger?
Well, I think that there's
the high degree of danger, and it says mitigation will not apply for any intentional or highly reckless acts.
Well, I think it's highly reckless, but if there is mitigation, it goes to yellow card.
And that's where you'll hear the ref say the mitigation was that he was falling into it.
And so by using that magic word mitigation,
I think that that's where it all lets it go.
And so when the TMO looks at it, he's got in the back of the head, there's mitigation.
If that word had never been said, I think we would have seen that the TMO would have elevated it to arrest.
Yeah, I think so.
I'm just looking to see how often Jordan's actually had a game, and he hasn't had many.
