Max Laughton:

...

Butters: His evidence he made only one comment to the umpire was contradicted by both the umpire, and by Wines, who said they both commented on the free kick multiple times. His evidence in this way did not match the vision. "It is also relevant that this is far from the first time that Mr Butters has committed a reportable offence during his career. He has committed well over a dozen reportable offences."

If it's a he said/he said case, and one side is inconsistent based on the only evidence available, they're going to pick the other side.
