Domestic league referees always become the focus of fans' attention, not because the league level is too low, but mainly because the referees always add some controversial penalties to themselves. Almost every round of the game has some controversial penalties, big or small. In the past, when there was a controversial penalty, fans might just complain, but now the Football Association has introduced a controversial penalty review mechanism and a referee promotion and relegation system. It may not be possible to eliminate controversial penalty, but at least it can be alleviated.

Official news from the Football Association, the latest penalty review results were released. This is the 15th issue of the season. This issue includes two controversial penalty for the Liaoning Ironman competition, the leader of the China League One. In the 13th round of the China League One, Liaoning Iron Man drew 2-2 with Nantong Zhiyun in the away rain game. Chongqing Tonglianglong, ranked second in the same round, lost the brakes, so Liaoning Iron Man still ranks first, but in this game, there was a controversy that Nantong Zhiyun's handball was not punished. After the game, Liaoning Iron Man appealed. The Football Association announced the controversial penalty in two matches, the first case was Nantong Zhiyun's handball. The Football Association's evaluation team determined that the Nantong Zhiyun player did have handball situations in the penalty area, his arms moved towards the ball and touched it, and was not a passive ball hitter. However, the referee on duty did not award the handball or a penalty kick, which was a serious missed judgment by the referee. This handball happened at the end of the game. Although the Liaoning Iron Man finally equalized the score, if the referee awarded a penalty, the Liaoning Iron Man might have won the game. As a result, this missed judgment indirectly led to the Liaoning Iron Man losing 2 points. And because of this penalty, the Liaoning Iron Man coaching team also got a red card when they came to the referee.

The second penalty appealed by Liaoning Iron Man was also related to handball. In the 28th minute of the game, Nantong Zhiyun scored a goal, but there was suspected of a handball foul before the goal. The answer given by the Football Association's review team was that the review team could not accurately determine whether there was a handball through the game screen, but the referee was in a good position at that time, so the review team supported the referee's penalty and rejected the Liaoning Iron Man's appeal.

Overall, the Football Association's evaluation mechanism has a positive side, at least it gave a correct interpretation after the game. However, there are still too many controversial punishments in the domestic arena. The effect of this evaluation mechanism is very limited and cannot directly change the penalty results or even the results of the game. The scores lost by Liaoning Iron Man and other teams cannot be made up for the wrong judgment and misjudgment. Therefore, the most important thing is to strengthen the professional level of domestic referees and ensure the fairness of the game.
