That's right, the pressure on refs is immense these days and some of the extreme stuff is unwarranted.
Video replays and other technology or more assistants are desperately needed to cut down the mistakes.
But that's not to excuse Styles' mistake yesterday. First rule of refereeing, if you are not sure, don't give it.
