We all need to be taking a long hard look at VAR.

It is destroying the game..... and also making many of us late for other appointments.

And there was a few chaps on here who thought it WAS a red, it’s a funny old game how we can see things so different at times. It proves not all high feet or studs up are dangerous and need to be a red card

Now they have rescinded the red card, I think it was actually a red!

So what is the point of VAR ?

VAR. Turning correct decisions into clear and obvious errors. Couldn’t write it.

The sooner it goes, the better.

Football is 20% worse because of it.

There is was thinking it was a reckless challenge with his studs raised. How silly am I :-)

I actually thought it was the most blatant red card I have seen all season.

It was high
It was dangerous
Studs were showing
Caught clyne

Typical scousers moan about it and it gets rescinded. If it was the other way no one bats an eye lid.

Typical. Now the red card has been rescinded, Keith Hackett comes out agreeing it was the wrong decision.
All these ex referees being paid to comment are a waste of space. They always agree with their paymaster or their historic paymaster. They sit on Sky like rabbits caught in headlights denying the obvious which is is frustrating to watch.
Get shot of the lot of them and bring in people like ex players who may just help improve things for football. Modern technology can help the game, it just needs to be designed and used to much better effect than VAR.

I thought it was a red and still do. Ive seen absolutely loads of lesser challenges get reds and nobody has said a word afterwards. Maybe its because he's a poster boy for the weird and wonderful and ticks too many boxes to be punished. Wouldn't surprise me.

So the first ref thought it wasn’t but the second thought it might be so the first had another look and thought it was, then a third ref had a look and thought it wasn’t and the first two refs were wrong. The refs decision is final-ish, long live VAR 🤣

I thought at the time Calvert Lewin was very calm while waiting an age for the decision. His departure was exceptionally graceful, which is rare. Probably because he was in a state of shock at such a poor decision.

I thought it was a red - no intent in it, but just a terrible tackling technique which is undoubtedly dangerous - he only made slight contact with Clyne and still managed to injure him, if he'd made any sort of proper contact it would have done real damage.

Typically 'strikers challenge', but still dangerous.

 

eaglerik1 Flag 10 Jan 24 10.43am

just for a change, I actually felt a bit sorry for the ref here.
I think it was a foul and maybe worthy of a yellow but once he has been told to take another look he has no other choice but to give a red or stay with no foul. I believe he cant say yes foul and a yellow in this situation.

can we appeal the appeal?

Amazing how we all seen the same thing and we all have different thoughts on it.

I still think VAR and the ref made correct decisions.

Indeed very silly if they showed a still of every tackle in football you could make it look bad at some point

They can’t magically make your studs point outwards at shin height though - whether you think it’s a red card or not, it’s an awful technique to be making a tackle.

I think (I may be wrong) the reason the appeal was upheld was because it wasn't actually a tackle but the player (CL) attempting to bring the loose ball under control .Clyne just arrived on the scene as he was wrapping his boot around the ball ,though granted he made a clumsy mess of it . Take Clyne out of the picture and Calvert -Lewin would be making exactly the same movement in getting the ball .
Had Clyne been in possession and CL had done what he did as a tackle then no question its a red . You have to look at the whole incident not just one picture .
