Pull the other one

A hair-brained decision if ever I saw one

Hello

Niche post alert. Caught a glimpse of Chelsea v Arsenal and the incident where Arsenal’s Katie McCabe pulled Alyssa Thompson’s hair right in front of the ref.

It looked something like this…..

McCabe didn’t even get a yellow AND the VAR didn’t intervene despite hair pulling being a straight red card offence. I was astonished. You see, it’s not just Scottish referees who can’t work the bloody thing.
