“The referee felt it was a terrible foul play, and VAR checked the footage to see if the call was clearly wrong, and he felt it wasn’t – contact I saw it was very high on my legs.
“But we know that for serious foul plays, excessive force and cruelty is necessary, and what we see here is that high contact. [just] By the way, it comes out right out of my feet.
“So, that’s why most people in the game have formed the same conclusion that this hasn’t reached a serious foul play. It’s coming down to the feet.”
Webb: I understand Oliver’s idea – that’s not a scary call

Webb: Oliver’s abuse “It’s completely unacceptable”
Michael Oliver suffered online abuse

People don’t always want to agree to a decision – yes, they can criticize where they feel justified – but this one that has led to a threat to the judge. It’s not at the level seen in the situation, the officials and their families in this game are completely unacceptable.”
