Because by now even the simplest simpleton can see that VAR is shit.
It's more debatable if Sons challenge was even a yellow, than a red. . . .horrible injury. If anyone gets punished it's Ndombele barrelling in for afters surely?
All in all, a high pressure low quality game, one of the worst I've watched in the last few years, with a disproportionately high quantity of cheating too.

No way was that a red for Son. It was either an unfortunate ‘studs sticking in the surface’ thing or Aurier sliding in, but not a result of Son’s challenge. Twatkinson reacted to the injury, not the foul. Quite glad there were no replays though to be honest
Looked nasty, hope he recovers as soon as he can. Shit game between two shit, nervous-looking teams. Richarlison confirmed any views from last week about him being an utter bellend.

Once again - the the main talking point about a game - VAR

Looks like the football authorities have no intention of reversing the red for Son. On the radio a while back, they heard that the red will be fully justified because “Son endangered an opponent when he fouled Gomes, leaving him in uncontrolled fall into Aurier”.

Yep they have done it for the injury not the foul. But doubt Son would have been in the right mindset to play the next few games anyway
Wondered if there would be a separate thread about the tackle, which is all over Twitter.
Never a red for Son. Very poor decision from Atkinson. The injury, from what I've seen, is caused by a mixture of the tackle (yellow), the fall (unfortunate) and the slide in (probably yellow as well but borderline red).
Atkinson has got it wrong, VAR has got it wrong and there are not one, but two careers on the line. I hope Gomes recovers physically and Son recovers mentally.

Idiots. Shouldn't have been a red. Every single challenge, even when cleanly winning the ball, endangers other players.

On this point - now that VAR is being used, is it still possible to appeal a red card? (Question directed to anyone, not just HWt).
Good question. I have not heard that you can't.
Should've had a teammate do the wing flapping, and then pulled a shotgun to shoot him down. Meanwhile his other teammates could be sat by his side, panting, and then tuck into the spirally eagle, like a pack of dogs.

Trossard with 4 chances created in a little over 30 minutes is pretty impressive

Not worth a new thread and I know it is a rotated team but Arsenal really are pony.
