Northern Hemisphere Refereeing Strikes Again | How was this a Red Card???

I have no idea how Northern Hemisphere officiating can be this bad. Combine a NH ref with Marius Jonker, and you’ll get decisions like this one. How on earth was this even a penalty? Rob Valentini makes a perfectly legal tackle, but clashes his head with the ball carrier in something that was clearly accidental. I have no problem if you argue it was bad technique, but it doesn’t make it an illegal tackle. His head positioning was poor, but you could argue the same about the ball carrier who was running very upright and asking to be hit. But Mike Adamson believed otherwise, he saw that and really believed that was a Red Card. I don’t know how you can come to that conclusion. The tackle itself was perfectly legal shoulder on shoulder hit, but then their heads collide and that was deemed a penalty? Not just penalty but a red car??? In what universe is that anywhere close to a red card? These Norther Hemisphere “refs“ are the absolute worst of the profession. And Marius Jonker is also clearly the worst TMO in
