cambridgeshire canary 6,718 Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) https://streamable.com/sygfkz Imagine looking at that twice and thinking it's a straght red, 3 match ban worthy. Pretty embarrassing for him that even Lineker is calling him out on it Edited February 6, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,431 Posted February 6, 2021 Send the video of Hoopers performance last night to Stockley Park if you have a moment . VAR would have given two pens at least . Possibly 3 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alex_ncfc 662 Posted February 6, 2021 This VAR is all a load of b*llocks but also how can the ref stand and watch that so many times and think that's a red card? Unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don’t be Krul 399 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Where does the blame lie here? Is it the Mike Dean show again or has the incompetent Lee Mason said on VAR it's a red and so to not make Mason look like a complete tool Mike Dean has backed him up? Either way I have no doubt the red card will be overturned Edited February 7, 2021 by Don’t be Krul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Real Buh 3,432 Posted February 7, 2021 We are told to automatically and implicitly respect the referees and then they do this. He’s one of if not the top football referee in the country. How has it come to this? Watching the 6 nations last night and it really is chalk and cheese. They deserve the utmost respect in the way they ref and control a game way more complex than football with openness and honesty.it’s always great to see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 7, 2021 The worst thing is when VAR think it's a red, send the ref over to see the monitor and he then thinks a red. Then 2 days later the fa over turn it. Surely the point in VAR is to stop people being wrongly being sent off. If that's happening then I'm sure VAR isnt doing the job it's there for. Mike Dean is up there as one of the worst now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mitrovic goes down holding his face in the sort of agony that would see most of us in ICU for a fortnight , and it doesn’t get any kind of mention. Week In and week out we see it . when Emi got his red against Burnley it was no different . Football accepts this nonsense as part of the game .

Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Football certainly does have a problem with overacting at the merest of touches, and unless/until players are punished for what is effectively outright cheating it’ll continue; imo it’s hard to totally blame the ref in these instances.

WD40 720 Posted February 7, 2021 Is there another angle where he doesn’t make contact with Mitrovic’s face? If he has made contact no matter how slight you see reds for that all the time. Bit of a weird movement to make with his arm, especially for a such a tall fella - but Mitrovic has timed it and sold it perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 7, 2021 Don't know what all the fuss is about. The defender's elbow is up at forehead height for no good reason and there is a connection. Has to be a red card by the book. As for pundits calling it out....they are the same pundits that often say "he was touched so he's entitled to go down"........go figure..... 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

city4eva 209 Posted February 7, 2021 I am with LDC, he raised his elbow , where did he think it would land , he knew Mitrovic was there. Red card for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 404 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) If you elbow someone in the face you leave the pitch. Red for me. Ref had little choice. There is no need for his elbow to be at that height. Edited February 7, 2021 by Chelm Canary 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does talk shoite sometimes but in this case isnt. The elbow was raised , Soucek can have no real complaints. Until VAR/ refs grow a pair and actually tease out the on pitch shenanigans it will carry on. I think Rugby is a silly game but on pitch, it's a much better run sport, tough but fair. Was it stupid... yes. Violent?... not for me. Action likely to endanger another player.....Yep.Mitrovic overreaction....definitely at first. Mitrovic tried to claw back some respect by arguing it wasnt so bad...too late. VAR needs to be used to sort this shoite out.... not make it worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
