A Bigger and Bigger Grey Area of Relativisation - A week in refereeing that points to a darker future (Law 5 View, 3/3)

An Unacceptable Resumption in Craiova - A week in refereeing that points to a darker future (Law 5 View, 1/3)

Though the 2019/20 season is in its infancy, we have certainly enjoyed an interesting week of European football; also, a rather controversial one too - regarding executive match calls, final appointments, and evaluation of crucial decisions.

In this series of Law 5 View posts we want to retrospect the week just gone in more than an atomistic way, and offer our take on the direction that elite refereeing is heading is recent times - in our opinion, towards a darker future.

First, we focus on the events of the Universitatea Craiova - Budapest Honvéd game on Thursday.
