It would have been a really silly second yellow card.

But the rules are the rules.

If the goal kick is taken and you put your hand down to stop the ball and then you begin to take it again, that's a penalty and that's a yellow card.

Now, there is only one thing, I think, and Simeone said after the game that he described this as common sense.

And I suppose the only thing that you could say that would justify not giving this is just what the referee has essentially done

is make the decision or make the interpretation that the goalkeeper hadn't taken the goal kick that this wasn't the game restarting this was him giving the ball to a teammate to take the goal kick and I guess the problem then becomes that interpretation as to whether or not you count this as the game having restarted now for what it's worth I look at it again and live I didn't even realise when it first happened you look at it again and think well this seems to me to be pretty clear cut

To be perfectly honest with you, I suspect that nothing.

I think what could come from it is that maybe the referee gets punished, that maybe the referee doesn't do X number of games over a certain period of time.

One thing I should just probably point out, just very briefly on what Ali was talking about, common sense is what Simeone said it was.

We haven't heard the referee say it was common sense.

So the referee's defence hasn't been whether it was common sense.

That's what Simeone is interpreting.

I think the only thing that can explain this, and this speaks to what Ali was saying about the ball moving or not moving, is if the referee has interpreted that the goalkeeper hasn't taken the goal kick, that the goalkeeper has indeed just given it to a teammate to take it, the ball hasn't been put back into play.

And that's the thing, as Ali's saying about the ball moving, the goalkeeper takes two touches.

And the way it seems to me is he takes one touch to put it in place, and the other touch is him taking the goal kick.

And so at that point, I think you have to interpret that the game has restarted and therefore it's handballed.

The only thing that can justify not giving this is if the referee has interpreted that the game hadn't restarted.

And it restarts with Mark Poole-Beal taking the goal kick, which of course is what ends up happening.

Anyway, to your question as to what happens now, I think nothing.

And let's go back, shall we, to the Champions League.
