Awful challenge. Absolutely a red.
We got lucky.

[Albion] That was a red wasn’t it?

Looked a certain red from the North. But VAR thought otherwise. And they never get it wrong...

They're not remotely comparable.
Anyway, Ederson didn't prevent a goalscoring opportunity, so it's hardly surprising that the best ref gave it a yellow, and all the commentary team didn't think it was a red.
In terms of Moder, I don't think it is a blatant red like others do, but I wouldn't be complaining if he got one.
Yes I rather think we did, mabye the trip he took moments before made VAR think it was balanced, shame as it was Moders only blemish on the best performance he’s put in since his return from injury

I think that's the first time I've seen moder attempt a sliding tackle in his years at the club.
Hopefully he'll learn to stay on his feet.
Yes. It looked a red. Any higher and var would surely have overturned

Definite red, as was theirs. I imagine that's why Moder didn't get sent off
Red sadly having seen it now on a replay. Although must say the ref was so inconsistent, we got lucky, VAR must have still been waiting for their pizza or something ...I've been apalled at the inconsistency and lack of actual calling the rules this season. I cannot see the point of VAR anymore at all, several of the throw ins went completely to the wrong team. Ferguson was bascially a punching bag for them, if he wasn't being clattered and straightarmed, he was being held back by the shirt or at one stage by his shorts...Maybe if Forest stopped the cheating and actually played football they wouldn't be where they are...the refereeing today in places was diabolical, VAR should have sorted a few things out, but were seemingly asleep.

Yep this. I think the fact he catches him so low is what saved him.

So a wild assault on a player nowhere near the ball is not red card? Well there we are.

The most curious thing..
You can't jump in with both feet aimed at somebody's leg, even if you meant to get to ball and missed.

I thought yellow from WSU, but having seen a replay I'm surprised it wasn't a red, although I want to see it from another camera angle. He definitely tried to play the ball with the laces and not go straight through with studs, but he didn't get the ball and caught him with studs.

Live I thought it was a yellow. I suspect replays will make it look worse.

Right in front of ref ..don’t really think I want VAR involved in this sort of incident
Note trainer wasn’t needed
Forest will probably be moaning that Battenberg has been denied access to the refs room again

It does, his top foot is not in a great position. If it were against us, we wouldn't be happy if it were not red.

Kyle Walker slides in on Salah studs up, catches the ball then Salah's foot. Play on. VAR check complete

They do in slow motion. At normal speed it is without doubt a yellow card. I applaud the on-field referee and VAR for reaching the correct decision.
The simple answer to your question is yes imho that was red

I’m calm about it, Forest wouldn’t have scored if we had nine
