VAR in Leeds game

[EagleEddie]

Surely this can be used in the appeal case?

My understanding is that the appeal has been and gone. Decision of red card upheld on Mateta.

It was. No Man City type delays for us - it took about 20 minutes to decide.

I'm surprised it was a long as that given who we are.

The 20 minutes included a "comfort break" because they were laughing so much.

Also, f*** Spurs

The ref also didn't think Porro, already on a yellow, should get another even though the foul was given because "the bar is higher for a second yellow".

Tell that to Wharton. I'm sensing a theme with refereeing.

It's almost as if the ref's don't know what the f*** they're doing!

well they can't all be as good as the one we had on thursday!!

Having only taken a cursory glance at the footage and comparing it to the Mateta 'Red' card, what was apparent is the fact that whereas Mateta lunged at Van Der Ven, Bogle did not hurl himself and did not make contact with such severity.

Mateta did lunge, however he did so before Van de Van had got to the ball.
Furthermore, you can see his foot deflect off the achilles - leading me to think that there was very little force involved. Thanks to the nonsense that is VAR we lose that context when watching slo-mo's and it appears far worse.
In my view it should of been a yellow and if not, why nothing for Nyoni against Arsenal?
Bogle was no where near the ball and fouled 'with intent' he should of been off!

With respect Willow and in Matetas defence our man was trying to play the ball and caught the Spurs player . There was no intent to even foul the spuds player

This one today was all about intent to injure an opponent . Where you could argue Matetas red and ok we accept we lost that argument the Leeds player had nothing to present in his defence and was IMO 100% a red card
Put it like this I know who will be the sorest in the morning and it wont be Van Der Ven
