No one behind him. No one who could get an imediate challenge on Sterling. Outside the area. Last man foul. Red card sending off. The rules are quite clear on that point. Asside from a deliberate handball outside the area or going straight through a player Inside/outside the box without attempting to get the ball (which he did at least try).Not a red card for me as last man, at all, but red card for dangerous play, which wouldn't have been given.
Clattenburg apparently said guidelines are to give a red card for straight leg challenges or severity of impact & the one on Kompany wasn't one.
We have already seen the proof yesterday, with Valencia's challenge, compared to Delph's. Same ref, different rules.
Complete fucking shambles in every country I've seen it applied in during the past week. Ref stopped the game with a team on the ball attacking yesterday in Germany, to look at a replay. How the fuck is he not going to give the pen in that case ?
Absolutely fucking ridiculous pen just given to NYC for handball now.
These people are not the fit & proper ilk to use this system.
Yeah that one.
Somethings got to be done about the state of officials in this country, they’re fucking abysmal. A few tweaks to VAR shouldn’t be a problem to refs who have got a brain cell. How hard can it be to ref a game with the assistance of video technology supporting them.
brilliant use of VAR
Kollarov is still looking for one of his teeth.He would have been sent off many times for the rags if we used it here
