Around the 33rd minute mark, honestly, I think thats just a coincidence that time is link where the referee standards are explored.
Now my understanding from what I heard is-
The ref panel can ban player if ref didn't see it.
But if he claims he saw it and didn't think it was unfair then panel cannot do anything.
The ref doing the explaining points out that thats the rules- so the rules are followed even if you think its unfair?
Notice, if ref is corrupt the rules protect a corrupt ref. If the missing fouls are claimed not to be seen then the panel can send you off.
So basically my take from that is, if the ref is corrupt - up yours timmy
If we want to take action on something he claims he missed we will.
But if we dont, then the ref saw it and made wrong call, sorry thats the rules.
No wonder VAR cant be introduced, cant be over-riding corrupt refs
And cant be taking instant action on stuff he missed.
VAR conflicts with Lanarkshire refs code book imo
