That Arsenal red card might be the softest red card I've ever seen

How on earth did the VAR not see the mistake

 

[Miked1e]

Another here who agrees with the red for Arsenal and it being serious foul play….

If not only to watch the AFTV, Arteta and the so called MOTD experts reactions.

As for pundits…. Again another week, another Everton loss predicted by Merse.

Anyone have an idea what this idiot brings to his job?

From what I can see is not much…. Should be banished from all of his roles. Clearly knows very little about football.

What did you predict pre-game? Draw?

It wasn't a mistake. You are treating it as if it was just a mistimed tackle which it wasn't. It was a deliberate kick/stamp on a players miles away from the ball. It should be a red card and I wish more refs would give them.

Arteta is at it. The man was sent off for a dirty foul and good riddance.

A few cans and betting slips in his back pocket.

It definitely wasn't a red card. It was just a trip and an obvious yellow card

If they want to change the rules and make cynical fouls like that a red card then I'm OK with that. But that clearly isn't a red card under the current interpretation of the rules

Sorry, disagree. It takes a bit of courage and imagination not to follow the sheep but you can't just kick people with no intent to play the ball.

Yes mate. Read a dictionary.

I would have no issue with fouls like that being red cards. Because the player made no effort to play the ball and wasnt even near the ball. But that's clearly not how the rules are currently interpreted

There are far worse fouls called as yellow cards every week. The second yellow for the wolves player was a far worse challenge even within the same match

 

[gonetomorrow]

Simply can't understand what Lineker and his overpaid chums are on. The Arsenal lad clearly stamped on the Wolves man's ankle.

Red card every time. Move on with the game.
