Premier League Games 30/April, 1/2/3 May

Malice has nothing to do with it being a red card.

How can people not know the rules of the sport?

Your description of the incident is a joke. "He ran onto his stud" FFS. Trumpian levels of lying despite video proof it's bollocks.

Vardy's leg is planted when Vestegaard follows through studs up into his ankle.

Amazingly enough nobody knows the rules of the sport, not even you mate obviously.

Joke.
Football is way too busy trying to be a political platform that it now simply ignores the fundamentals of our once great game

The studio dont think it was a red

Only ref watch on Monday will agree with the decision.

Fortunately the 2 referees covering the match tonight do.

They know that malice has nothing to do with a tackle being a red card, nor does making contact with the ball.

They probably even know that making a tackle that means you're inevitably going studs up into the ankle of an opposition player when through on goal is a red twice over.

Well, if defenders are too late we say it's a foul
and if the forward is too late (the defender on the ball first) it's a foul as well? Nah.

I have no idea what the correlation is between having a social conscience and a ref making an dubious decision.

Could it be DOGSO in he wins the ball and the ref believes the follow through stops Vardy getting to the ball?

It could be but I seem to remember Foden getting hacked down in the box by the opposing keeper (Southampton??) this season and VAR coming out with the ref thought the keeper got a touch on the ball and they couldn't completely rule out that he touched it (though he almost certainly didn't). But even if that was the case it still should have been a penalty and red for the keeper then as he still caught Foden and denied a goal scoring opportunity.

I guess the most frustrating thing is the inconsistency. I suspect both incidents would have had different outcomes with different officials.

One last thought

If it had been in the area, he may have given a penalty, but no way would he have sent him off.

Foden didn't get to the ball afterwards, so it couldn’t be DOGSO in that case if the ref thought he touched the ball.

That was a penalty as he didn’t touch it though.
