Match Threads Everton vs Spurs - Match Thread

Well, Son has shot straight to the top of their Boo song sheet.

Never a red for Son, will get overturned

Too late by then, and ridiculous it even has to come to that. I thought one of VAR’s main jobs was to check red cards.

 

[philll]

That's never a red. Awful accident, never a red for Son.

 

[Erm33]

Surely VAR has to rescind that red card. It was a yellow not a red. Horrible injury but it was Aurier who broke the guys ankle with a block challenge that was just horribly unfortunate

 

[ajspurs]

100 percent that should be rescinded

Agree but I hope the result of the injury, in it being a freak accident doesn't influence the decision.

 

[ardiles]

With a man down, we need fighters to keep our lead. Not sure Eriksen qualifies as one.

 

[gregga]

What an appalling piece of reffing.
Awful for Gomes but how can he justify that?!

 

[mike_l]

Red card for the way he landed? Bad injury but we're just giving out reds out of sympathy now are we ref???

If it was from VAR then surely they can see the challenge wasn't that bad, it was like the ref just saw the aftermath and decided to give a red.

Probably worth taking Aurier off now.

 

[VoteMe4Prez]

GET ERIKSEN OFF NOW

 

[Gareth88]

Make a fucking sub

 

[glacierSpurs]

A bad injury but no way thats a red. The force and angle Gomes was falling almost multiplied the force Aurier was going at him.

Poor Son.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Football has been broken.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Well when luck is against you it's against you

 

[Deleted member 27995]

Atkinson is a ****. A useless fucking ****.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

So we’re gonna end up drawing / losing this game because VAR lost there head in the moment like the crowd & players

 

[Timberwolf]

Yes, but it looked like it was the VAR that gave the red. Atkinson showed him a yellow first.

Even more ridiculous if so. The VAR team must've been so shocked by the extent of the injury that the kneejerk reaction was to send him off.

 

[spursfan77]

Essentially Son hacked down Gomes from behind and the momemtum took him into Aurier who was challenging from the other side and snapped something on Gomes when he got clattered by Aurier.

cheers. I saw the replay. Never a red card. I’m assuming we can get that over turned.

 

[g_harry]

Ok we might get red removed but doesnt help us now.

 

[glacierSpurs]

The ref pulled out a yellow straight after the challenge and then got out a red after he saw Gomes leg.
Shit officiating

Seemed like he got the VAR call to give a red.

 

[Marty]

The fact VAR cannot overrule red cards is a joke. Nearly as much a joke as the Ref reaching for a yellow, looking at the injury and then giving a red card.

VAR can overrule red cards, it chose not to.
