THe footage I’ve seen shows itdifferently.
Clash occurs, ref gives ‘no foul’ signal then stops play. Mings may have been waving as the ref signalled no foul but there was no delay in stopping the game. Possibly play a bit after the ref blew making it look like he played on.
Didn't seem like that at the time, but fair enough, entirely possible I wouldn't have heard the whistle over the howls of protest.
Either way, it makes no difference to us really - we've played Villa now, we'd want them to have their strongest teams when playing our rivals.
I had a picture in my mind of the ref turning and chasing play back upfield oblivious to the injury, but it’s clear that it didn't happen Like that. I find it odd that my heat of the moment take of the situation was wrong, there is a first time for everything though.
The old human eye witness is the least reliable evidence factor.
Have you seen the experiment where you're asked to count the number of times the ball bounces with some people playing basketball? One of my fav examples.
