[Albion] Lewis-Skelly red card overturned

[kevo]

Surprise, surprise.

I thought decisions couldn't be overturned now if VAR had already reviewed it? Apparently not if it involves a 'big club' and they complain enough about it.

For me, it was an 'amber' - quite a wild challenge and a cynical and deliberate foul. Certainly not 'the worst decision ever'.

We just get apologies

I'm glad they reviewed that Crawley thug's challenge on O'Riley though... Oh.

Interesting how last season Bournemouth, Brentford and Fulham are among the teams with the most VAR decisions overturned in their favour. Brentford and Fulham have not long had red cards rescinded too.

It wasn't a red card.

But they are nice apologies. And in respect of a penalty, I would have thought it hard to overturn the decision retrospectively.

I would assume that those on the AMEX tour get to see the room where they are all framed.

As painful as it is with Arteta and their whining it wasn't a red.

I think the record for the most red cards overturned must belong to West Ham. One season they had a good number of them.

Yeah it wasnt a red. Absolutely zero force in it. His studs tickle the Wolves players leg and land with little force on his foot. Yellow for tripping him, and stopping a potential attack, but nothing more.

That's how I understand it too, though it may be that it's if VAR have reviewed the decision on field with the referee? ...which they didn't. They decided against it.

It was a terrible decision.

Bruno Fernandes had his red card against Spurs over-turned earlier in the season.

There have been other incidents in previous seasons as well, I'm sure, although I can't remember the specifics now.

By the rules of the game it wasn’t a red card. But it should be.
