too much slow mo ,too much misdirection by poor managers and players away from their own failings, fans who know nothing about the rules egged on by awful TV pundits and you get the perfect storm. “that was never a red” when a player gets a second yellow and off etc, usually after a yellow and several more chances given by the ref . VAR has made it worse, ages pouring over a slomo that takes all context away which leads to hours of TV discussion and ultimately blaming the ref from both sides. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67696001ears
The top level of the sport is becoming a different sport. Unfortunately due to its TV ubiquity the perceptions and opinions around that filter down to our level.
