Give him a red card after the fact. That will REALLY piss off their bosses from their second jobs.
Sometimes it’s best just to let go
What an awful headline, written in the typical Daily Mail style. Howard Webb “admitting” something doesn’t mean anything; the man has been retired for years and is simply a TV pundit. It was a bad call and bad process, but I see no reason to promote the Daily Mail here
Bruno was gagging for a yellow the whole game so he could serve his ban for the Bournemouth game. At this point he must have thought what do I have to do to be booked 😂
So, why can’t they retrospectively ban him? The evidence is there. Seems odd to be like “ok, that should have been a red… but his got away with it”
I was thinking this is meme VAR with actors, than realized its actually real leak. They sound as me and my co-worker commenting on a foul.
Hitting people from the back in any conext is totally illegal as far as I’m concerned. Especially when the first contact by the aggressor comes from some part of their body above the waist. In my experience I’ve had guys who were in a full sprint come up behind me while I was jogging in the box looking past the goal to where the ball is, and they throw up a forearm or elbow to decelerate themselves using my spine as a cushon. In these situations you get direct contusions from the initial blow, and sometimes whiplash and cervical injuries because you can’t see it coming. I think when any adult does this it is borderline assault, and should not be a part of the game at all.
Scrap the refs and get AI to do it
This is an unsophisticated operation. We should have a mini version of a traffic control center- multiple screens, technologies and angles to quickly decipher. It is easily possible. This is a few guys interpreting things in a rushed fashion. Game has to move on yes, so every angle needs to be ready to go instead of them marking possibilities and points of failure with multiple humans hurredly
can’t give red card to Newcastle player easily though, otherwise oil money will stop.
I’ll say all day the goal should have stood. This is a clear red card though and I have no idea how neither the ref nor VAR gave it.
Completed the title for you:
Leaked VAR audio appears to reveal the reason Bruno Guimaraes was NOT sent off in Newcastle’s controversial win over Arsenal was due to VAR and professional referee Andrew Madley not knowing the rules.
and that is me being generous…
What happened to them retrospectively banning players?
We still talking about this game smh
(Bruno should have a got a red though no doubt about that)
First person who speaks sets the narrative and everyone else just agrees. There’s no way that everyone in that replay booth believed it not to be red.
