[Albion] No Fulham red card

[AlbionBro]

Palhinha took young Pascal down with an elbow smash to his jaw.
How on earth was this missed?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Commentators absolutely baffled and bemused that there was no red card to Palhinha for the deliberate elbow assault on Groß

Obviously he will get a 3 game retrospective ban from the FA for this - but surely with VAR there this shouldn’t be happening (again!)

Well I missed it for a start lol would be interested to see a replay of that incident.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I missed it from the Family Stand!

Thanks, that clears up a text from my son who isn't here. We are in WSU and didn't realise that.

VAR looked at it. Was an obvious red card to anyone that looked properly. Expect a Webb apology tomorrow morning.

Def elbow straight in Pascal face. I guess the officials question was, is there intent or accidental?

On the replay you can see clear intent - he knew what he was doing. Trying to find a video of it now

I thought intent wasn’t part of that law now?

More mistakes/howlers for VAR to learn from

 

[Bakero]

Certainly a weird one. There's a clear movement of his arm right into Pascal's face.

Not sure he'll get a retrospective ban - because if the ref / VAR looked at it, they can't then impose something can they? Don't know though.

Very difficult to see how VAR didn't intervene. It was a red card. No mitigation.

It looked like the lad threw his elbow, to me. He had no reason too, it wasn't a natural football position.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Apparently accidental, my arse... its fine though, we will get an apology tomorrow.

They managed to find a way to give a retrospective ban to Hemed - so no, there's no way they'll hand out a ban for the Fulham player!

C|_|nt shouldn’t even be on the pitch

Always going to happen... FFS!

And now he’s scored. Salisbury should not be allowed to referee us after the Spurs shambles last season.

Not related to the incident by the OP ..but I’m baffled as to how Fulham were given the ball after he blew up for a Fulham player going down for the 50th time …even though we had the ball when he blew
