Jamal Lewis sent off for Northern Ireland after ‘time wasting’ on throw-in

Talk about jobsworth refereeing

Neil Lennon, who was speaking on Sky Sports, suggested the decision to send the full-back off was "shambolic". "The first booking is lazy defending, and then you're walking on a tightrope, I get it," the former Celtic manager said. "But the second?" "Watch the referee. He is pointing at Jamal, that's fine. But he's not saying 'get a move on'. "Now he starts walking over, blows the whistle and gives him a second yellow card. "It's shambolic. I have never seen a player get a second booking for time wasting after 36 minutes in any game of my life. It is an awful decision." Switzerland made their extra man count and took the lead in added time of the first half, with Embolo - who was involved in Lewis' first booking - assisting Steven Zuber who finished past Bailey Peacock-Farrell in the Northern Ireland goal.
