"Already on a yellow card, Ramsey latched onto Anthony Gordon's through ball and outpaced goalkeeper Senne Lammens to the ball before tripping over his own feet. Significantly, Ramsey didn't appeal for a penalty. Bankes awarded a goal kick and attempted to continue the game until he was crowded by United players, who demanded a second yellow card for simulation."
"In a twist of fate, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body responsible for establishing football's laws, has expanded the fundamental VAR protocol to encompass second yellow cards from next season. This means that if the Ramsey incident had occurred in a Premier League match next season, the decision could have been reviewed and reversed, allowing Newcastle to complete the match with a full side."
Newcastle secured a crucial Premier League victory against Manchester United with a dramatic last-minute goal from Osula, maintaining their season despite a contentious refereeing decision. Jacob Ramsey was sent off for a second yellow card after being accused of simulation when he tripped over his own feet while chasing a through ball, though he did not appeal for a penalty. The referee's decision sparked significant controversy and jeering from fans. Notably, the International Football Association Board has expanded VAR protocols starting next season to review second yellow cards, meaning this incident could have been overturned under new rules. Newcastle had previously lodged complaints about other controversial decisions by the same referee.
