The CLA needs to eat a giant crapburger for agreeing to a 'no appeals on match penalties' rule in the first place. But, if this was a case where a referee's ego took a team's best player out of the tournament, then they were right to walk back on that promise.

If the referee was right, then they deserve twice the crap.
