Yeah, I think PiGMOL have a contract with NS&I that allows them to use ERNIE in the awarding of free kicks irrespective of whether or not a foul occurred.'Random' you say?

If the fact he played on stopped a VAR revue then that is bloody stupid.Eventually pulled it back and gave a yellow. One he'd played on he couldn't give a Red card.
Probably under instructions not to give a red at any costs unless it was absolutely blatant, but in my opinion that was.
Thought it was as bad if not worse than the Ayling tackle, PGMOL are answerable to nobody that is the problem.Same area of recklessness as Ayling got his marching orders. Another example of random variations in the application of the LotG within the same game, in opposing halves, the next game, games played within a twenty five mile radious - all different outcomes! I think that PiGMOL has some difficulty in understanding what consistency means. But there again they can claim they are consistently wayward in the variety of their decisions.
I watched MotD2 just to see what the studio had to say about the 'tackle' on Grealish and the wrestiling-cum-rugby variations at corners but there was not a word or a frame!
Playing on is irrelevant to getting a red card in this scenario (red for a bad tackle).If the fact he played on stopped a VAR revue then that is bloody stupid.
I doesn't stop a VAR review. The rule is that if the ref is going to give a red, then he has to stop the game. VAR can obviously still review, otherwise how could they ever review anything the ref had missed?If the fact he played on stopped a VAR revue then that is bloody stupid.
Did dermot explain exactly what he used his elbow as if not a weapon?In other news Dermot says right call for the yellow only on Fabinho elbow.
He doesn’t use his elbow as a weapon so nothing to see lol.
No wonder PiGMOB is in such a shit state!
It was disgraceful, and he let them off with it every time, maybe we are a bit weak in some challenges, but this was something else.What is found noticeable today was the number of times our player making a pass was bumped and barged, hitting the turf, to make sure he couldn't partake of any further part in the move he had just begun.
match of the day 2 last night, shearer and wright looked bored to death as soon as it started, talk about " cant be arsed" terrible show.'Random' you say?
As far as I am aware the game must be stopped immediately for serious foul play (red card offences) if the referee on the field deems its a red. He didn't so we are then into 'clear and obvious error' territory and I guess VAR (if they even reviewed it at all) didn’t think he'd made a mistake.Playing on is irrelevant to getting a red card in this scenario (red for a bad tackle).
imo Fabinho should have been shown a red card for his 'tackle' on Bernardo at our place, subsequently serving a three match ban . Assuming one of the games would've been the FA Cup semi v City. Spurs would then be his second match back after serving the ban .He should now have a further three game ban for his elbow on Son, therefore missing five of the last seven league games. The officials do appear to show them more leniency than others and that's putting it lightly.If the fact he played on stopped a VAR revue then that is bloody stupid.

Still, in my opinion, it looked worse at full speed. On the replay, pretty sure he had both feet on the ground and it looked like he completely missed Grealish with them, but ended up with more of a tackle by tackle.
Fabinho should have been sent off, but there's a major inconsistency with the refs and VAR that won't change and we have to just accept it unless VAR is adopted by an independent panel who aren't refs.imo Fabinho should have been shown a red card for his 'tackle' on Bernardo at our place, subsequently serving a three match ban .

ideally yes, but the ref can play advantage and red card once the ball goes dead (not quite that simple in reality but it's definitely possible)
I think he can only play advantage if there is a clear goal scoring opportunity. Which of course begs the question, if you’re red carding a player for ‘denial of a goal scoring opportunity‘ but the attacking team still score, would you still be sent off? Common sense says absolutely not but………ideally yes, but the ref can play advantage and red card once the ball goes dead (not quite that simple in reality but it's definitely possible)
Yeah that's the advice, only if there's clear opportunity to scoreI think he can only play advantage if there is a clear goal scoring opportunity.
