My opinion is the complete opposite. I thought Bedeau was the one caught out. He made a stupid move and even though his foot wasn’t anywhere near as high as the ref indicated when he started waving his arms about and I don’t think there was contact he gave the ref the chance to make the wrong decision.
Watching the Taft one again I’m at a loss as to what he could have done? he made no move towards the player, didn’t stick out his leg and wasn’t the one who instigated contact. The player deliberatly made contact with Taft and not the ball which should be our free kick no? But he flung himself to the ground and the ref ate it up.
