Italian Football Thread

Given that red card decision and the linesman somehow giving the goal that VAR ruled out, I'd be disappointed if someone didn't mention brown envelopes. 
To be fair to the linesman, the Italian officials were instructed at the start of the season to not flag for borderline or contentious offsides and to let VAR decide. Means there is less chance of a goalscoring chance being pulled back only to find out the guy was actually onside, and all the arguments that would generate.

That wasn't close to being contentious.
