ricardo 7,350 Posted December 19, 2021 Stone waller, anyone but Kane would have been for the long walk. Disgraceful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 277 Posted December 19, 2021 100% should have walked. Our player would have been sent off twice for making the same tackle. Although not complaining as he's in my fantasy team, as he's so 'world class' he's overdue taking his tally of goals to a heady "two" for the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,203 Posted December 19, 2021 No. England Capt on a jock. Years ago that wouldn't have even been a yellow. It's a brilliant competitive game of football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,223 Posted December 19, 2021 Refereeing standards are so poor it's unreal. Genuinely, I don't think there are any conspiracies or even favouritism. I just think refs are clueless. VAR just makes them worse because there is a comfort in making the errors which are not then corrected. It is staggering that he was not sent off for that challenge. I haven't seen a referee fully in control of a game yet this season; there seems to be a collective level of incompetence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,203 Posted December 19, 2021 Liverpool level. Ref allowing lots of intensity and physicality. It's great to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted December 19, 2021 Yes definitely. That was a leg breaking tackle that Kane jumped into. Poor refereeing and VAR for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,760 Posted December 19, 2021 It's one of them that VAR is never going to upgrade, but wouldn't have downgraded either had a red been given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it probably a red card? If yes, is it a Norwich player? Yes then red card issued Is it the England captain? If yes then clearly it’s a fair challenge Same for the push for the Liverpool penalty that wasn’t given. Had that been a Norwich player making the push, what would the result have been do you think?

Monty13 2,229 Posted December 19, 2021 Jesus, how’s it even a debate? What the hell is the point in VAR, did they recommend he take a look not watching the game? I’ve no idea how he can watch that again and not give a red. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,290 Posted December 19, 2021 Again at a total loss to what VAR is actually for. Definite Red and stonewall penalty, funny though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity, or cowardice in some referees case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted December 19, 2021 That would've been one of the softer tackles when I played school vs school football! 🙂 Our Captain's rousing pre-match message seconds before each KO was: "Remember lads. if you can't get the man, get the ball!". That ironic intent used to get a chuckle, however we were programmed to compete physically that's for sure. The other side played in a similar manner, which is why we needed to match them if we wanted to win. Nowadays it's a different world. Kane was out-of-control (unable to pull-out of the challenge), so it should've been an instant red card. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duke63 541 Posted December 19, 2021 So VAR has done anything but provide consistency..it looks more pathetic every time it makes another wrong decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,290 Posted December 19, 2021 What an utterly awful referee, Kane’s was full force studs through the player and not reviewed, Robertson was borderline red and reviewed to a red! Inconsistent to say the least…….. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted December 19, 2021 Bizarre - clearly went for the ball and missed it, that’s a very harsh red when you look at what Kane got away with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
