Football is becoming increasingly mental but an accident is still just an accident. If you must impose a yellow for a tiny infraction then .. so be it, yellows have been flashed and non-flashed for a great variety of non events for some years now .. but the notion that a genuine effort to play the ball with no malice or recklessness by the letter (not the actual letter) of the law should be a red is just too much. Any player trying to kick a ball can potentially hurt another player if they happen to get there first or poke a foot in or come in from an oblique angle. You can't be seriously thinking of sending someone off just because of the outcome (especially when the outcome is more likely than not to be mostly contrived by a cynical opponent) with no intent or sensible interpretation of recklessness. Players might be well advised to remove their arms and footwear before entering the pitch just in case someone blooters the ball against them or gets in the way of an entirely innocent effort to play the ball. Anyone that’s watched VAR in operation down south should not be surprised at the red card, as I mentioned in another post and as you point out players should remove their arms because if a ball is kicked against one it’s going to be a penalty if in the area. Football is no longer a contact sport and we are going to see many further red cards we would not have seen in the past. The rage is going to hit new levels but it won’t change a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 All that outrage for nothing. Catches Goss high with his studs then rakes it down his leg for good measure. A snide one from Tony and he’s got caught. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Said it on the VAR thread but even before that angle I can't understand why so many people thought it wasn't a red card.

Dosser2014 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Just seen the upated footage. As clear a red card as you'll ever see. Watty knew what he was doing and he knew he'd been caught. Hopefully Liam Fox fines him for that. A real nasty challenge.
