Bairnardo Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Obviously you’re far more qualified than almost everyone (my man [mention=46169]cameron2000[/mention] aside) on here to comment on this, but this sounds ridiculous. Looking at that tackle from a completely uneducated viewpoint that can’t be a red card tackle. He has literally just tripped him, he lunges across but by the time he reaches Gomes he’s just hooked the top of his foot round his ankle. Ignore the comment on this tweet as the video cuts out before contact from Aurier so doesn’t prove anything, but it shows the initial foul. That’s just a trip. First iv seen it. Absolutely never a straight in red in a million years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 As a former referee it was a yellow in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Should get overturned as Son is 100% not at fault. As for VAR to say he saw red because the foul endangered Gomes is why VAR is a load of bollocks just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) That's not a red, he has tripped him up and it is a yellow card. It is the accidental collision with Aurier afterwards that has caused the injury, if Aurier hadn't been there Gomes would have stumbled on for a couple of steps before going down, Son would have been booked and no more would ever be said about it. You could find 100 of those tackles a season and none would lead to an injury like that. In the countless football matches I've watched I've never seen a trip from behind lead to something like that. Atkinson knew it was a yellow too because he initially just judged the tackle, as he should have done. It was only when he saw the injury and decided to judge the outcome that he changed his mind.

Musketeer Gripweed Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I thought Atkinson had the yellow card out before he showed him the red card. Looked like he changed his mind when he saw how serious the injury was, or the VAR officials made him change his mind. I just hope the lad makes a full recovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 1 hour ago, craigkillie said: It was a deliberate foul with no attempt to play the ball. It wasn't just a trip - he lunged across to take him out. Again, there was absolutely no attempt to injure him or to do anything other than stop the player, but when you make challenges like that you run the risk of something like this happening. Correct. This is the very definition of a professional foul, and specifically the type of example a red card was supposed to be issued for, not just goal scoring chances. In the laws of the game its as clear as red cards get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Chewing Taffies said: How many deliberate fouls are made with no attempt to play the ball in an average game? the injury is horrendous but nothing to do with the initial challenge. His studs weren't up and there was no attempt to injure the player. It was never a red card foul. The ref gave him a yellow for the challenge. When he saw the injury he produced a red for some bizarre reason even though the contact for the actual injury was nothing to do with Son. If there is even one it should be an automatic red card, what you just described is a professional foul, which is a red card under all circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those are kind of the rules of football. Of course it was a deserved red card, as clear as you'll ever see. No attempt to play the ball, just brings the man down deliberately, that's a red card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A professional foul involves a defender fouling an attacking player in order to prevent them from scoring, or a handball offence that denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see a hundred tackles like that or worse this season that don't receive a card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
