Talking about VAR in general.
If a player commits a yellow card foul while the game is still going on as normal, I don't understand why VAR reverse it after a review for a completely different incident.

What if it was a second yellow? The team would be punished for an action that wouldn’t have happened if the referee had got an earlier decision correct in the first place.

I think all the flappers are fast asleep : )

Whichever of the Mods team is on duty is having a relaxing game for a change! :-)

Knew he was injured

What's that mean? The original offence was the pen which came before Ait Nouri's intervention. Basically, that means Ait Nouri doesn't commit the foul if the origin was given!!

Logic?

I know that.
What happens if a player gets his leg broken in a tackle.
The ref didn't stop play until the Ait Nouri incident.

Because the counter attack wouldn't have happened if the ref had awarded the pen in real-time

I had to check I hadn't spiked my own cocoa seeing that

I am well aware of that.

@jimharri would have been tucked up in bed hours ago.

Tell you what haaland misses getting on my tits ffs

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Absolutely disappointed with the performance tonight. All the uncles in the matchday thread just haven't maintained their usual negative form and the new guys to the thread, well they just don't seem to understand what they should be doing. Too much positivity. Disappointing.

FFS Haaland!!!

Better?

 

[Petetheblu]

Rayan, great ball....

 

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

Shame Echeverri has gone off.

Hope injury isn’t too bad at all. Gutted for him.

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

City city best team in the land and all the world

 

[RobinHood]

Knew he was injured

I thought so too - didn't like the way his foot was planted. Hopefully playing the full first half means it ain't too bad.

Everybody berts

That's the best one!
