Sky saying Ayala should have had a red for an elbow on Fletcher

 

Can they look at that again retrospectively?

 

If the ref missed it then yes it will depend on his match report

 

I'm pretty sure he'll struggle to get retrospective action for it. The ref didn't miss the call, he still called it a foul and judged it to be no booking. Not entirely 100% with the laws of the game on this but I think retrospective action is only for things the referee didn't see or make a decision on at all.

 

"Firstly, it’s important to state that the principal objective behind retrospective action is to punish players who have clearly committed a red card offence ‘off the ball’.

 

It is not designed to ‘re-referee’ tackles but can be applied if an act of violent conduct or serious foul play occurred secondary to the challenge or if the match officials’ view of the specific misconduct was unclear.

 

In order for The FA to take retrospective action it must first establish from the match officials whether the incident was ‘not seen’. If they confirm they did see it then in almost all cases no further action is taken"

For me, it boils down to whether the ref saw the elbow or not. If he called the foul for pushing or whatever, then retroactive action could be taken for the elbow as it may be interpreted as secondary to the challenge. 

 

But I doubt anything will come from this anyway.
