Yeah does seem weird doesn't it. Such a stupid way to decide things as well as a farce that its called an independent review panel.
I watched it back again and the fact that he took so long to make the call talked to the linesman and the 4th official and made the mistake of giving the card to Perquis instead of Morrow blows my mind. Getting a second set of eyes on it fine, making the decision for a red that early in the game and not being able to know who was involved is criminal.
This guy shouldn't be reffing any leauge period.
