In terms of the rulebook, the case there was different because Ojo ran up to the stands to confront the player. Getting involved with an incident with a fan who encroaches the pitch is not a mandatory caution. Approaching the stands in a manner which is likely to cause any kind of security incident IS.
The incident hinges around a player who is protecting himself from falling over advertising banners and initially reacting to being assaulted by a fan then held himself in control. The problem is that the referee had absolutely no brain. Madden’s ability reminds me of the cop being interviewed by Sean Connery and Kevin Costner in The Untouchables. There goes the next chief of police. Thicko The referee should be suspended pending a detailed enquiry. This may end up being consider racial abuse with a referee siding with the abuser instead of defusing the situation and protecting the abused. More to follow here me thinks. Although I suspect it will all be swept under the carpet. In future Fans will provoke players when they come anywhere near them. Hopefully a yellow snd possible a red card to influence a game.
