It’s absolutely by design I will not believe anything else,just too much of a coincidence compared to other games in applying the new laws/rules of the game..Utter gash today, allowing their keeper to take the piss with every goal kick etc. Also noticed liner sticking up his flag despite KDB not being off whereas the other liner kept his flag down despite their guy being at least a yard off.
I was having a discussion separate from that with the poster I replied to. It was around whether VAR should exist at all, I felt yesterday's incident was a good case for it no existing.I’m typing this slowly so that you understand !
The point is that to many of us the decisions are baffling if not biased ,
take the Haaland ‘hand ball’ at Spurs for example.
If they had to explain themselves after the game then they may be less
inclined to make the decision in the first place.
Did I imagine that dangerous tackle by Anderson on Foden yesterday?
TNT commentator and pundits mentioned it and pundits thought it was a red.
BBC commentator mentioned it in passing but no discussion later.
See whether it's mentioned by Dismal Dermott tomorrow.
One thing is clear. It was a foul and the ref was looking right at it. That I can’t forgiveDid I imagine that dangerous tackle by Anderson on Foden yesterday?

Only if Subbuteo rules were in operation?Andy Townsend said it wasn’t a foul as he touched the ball……
Were you at the game, did you watch the games, or did you just wait for the highlights?Which pundits thought it was a red? I can’t remember any of them saying that?
That was only after he'd tried to say the ref was unsighted until replays showed he had a perfect view.Andy Townsend said it wasn’t a foul as he touched the ball……
I thought he had his back to it.One thing is clear. It was a foul and the ref was looking right at it. That I can’t forgive

We all love to engage in City based conversation, just wonder where your starting base is, seeing as you keep confirming that you’ve seen/heard fuck all?
And ther in lies the problem. The threshold for a red card offence is an opinion. What gets given as a red in in one game attracts a yellow in another, or sometimes even the same game. That's something VAR will not change.I didn’t go to the game. Watched it on TNT. And unless my memory fails me, which wouldn’t be a first to be fair, all the pundits said it wasn’t a red.

The PL as a competition is not a level playing field.
Well that’s a different issue entirely. I was merely asking the guy who said the pundits said it was red, which ones they were?
But then some other guy ( might have been the same one actually, can’t be arsed checking ) said that I never see fuck all anyway.
No to worry.

Sorry Stephen,only just seen your query to me.Lescott was for a red and Ferdinand seemed to agree to me.Well that’s a different issue entirely. I was merely asking the guy who said the pundits said it was red, which ones they were?
