He got involved because the Brighton bench went banana’s about the tackle but also about him agreeing with Jones and saying he got the ball. He is not allowed to get involved in on field incidents unless red or yellow card. Hurzeler shouting abuse at him made him realise he can only get involved under stated circumstances. He therefore changed this to “yellow card” and needed to make a point otherwise he was in it up to his neck. He repeated this twice more to ensure he was heard and within guidance. He saved his skin.
I don’t think he is corrupt. His only personal gain was saving his skin from reprimand, having intervened against guidance and regulation. He just isn’t very good at his job. As was shown in the Everton
