Right there close to play? Are you kidding me? He was 18 yards directly behind the play looking through at least a few players. He did not appear to consult the linesman, who didn’t indicate a foul. Now, whether or not it was actually a foul is one thing, but stating that Styles was “right there” is ridiculous.

It matters not that Habib got a touch on the ball only that in ref Styles opinion he played the player first, which he clearly did in the replays. Ref Styles was right there close to the play and was correct in the call, and just because they call their website the Right Result doesn’t mean they’re right.

to be honest i did not see the tackle in slow mo,the little i saw on skysports shows that habib actually got the ball. so i can’t say but rob styles again what is it with this referee. always behind controversial calls/decisions, we just have to wait and see.
