[Football] Palace vs Everton FA Cup tonight at 8 PM

[Kinky Gerbil]

Are commentators wanting players to get seriously injured for it to be a red?

 

[BBassic]

What is that VAR announcment thing?

 

[Coldeanseagull]

The only serious foul play that needs looking at is VAR!

 

[Paskman]

Red what a joke!

 

[Deadly Danson]

Even without my anti Palace hat on, that is a truly awful, unbelievable VAR decision. Never ever a red.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Think he was unlucky there, but who's to argue with VAR?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Never a red in a month of Sundays.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Red ? Harsh.

A joke of a red card. Studs up but no force whatsoever, gets the ball and slight contact. When are refs going to start to grow a pair and tell VAR assistants where to stick it?

 

[WATFORD zero]

F***ing ridiculous

 

[Machiavelli]

Red ? Harsh.

No and yes for me.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

That's totally ruined a pretty poor match for me. I've now turned it off and I'm going on Youtube for some cat videos

It seems like all contentious reds stem from the player doing something slightly stupid - forcing 'them' to make a decision.

At which point common sense is replaced by 'the letter of the law'.

 

[Stat Brother]

"palace are definitely going for it".

Well that's pleasing to know 83 minutes into a home tie FA Cup match.

Will be more entertaining!

It's becoming a game refereed remotely.
Assistants don't flag for clear offsides and referees never override VAR.

The problem is when you have everyone crying for consistency all the time then that means it has to be letter of the law, because “common sense” will vary among different people, referees and VAR included.

Not clear what happened to McNeil there but doesn’t look good……..and Mateta being a

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Will be more entertaining!

It is! I always laugh watching a feline fall off something

 

[LamieRobertson]

Didn’t look good for McNeil….cutting away his shorts

 

[BBassic]

Looks bad for the Everton lad
