Whats happening at Everton?

Son shown a yellow card by referee but when he realises how serious the injury is he upgrades it to a straight red.

It's a nothing of a challenge and just extremely unfortunate how he landed but you simply can't base your punishment in football based on unexpected consequences can you?

 

It was a strange one I thought Aurier was the one that made the contact, Son's was minimal at that

 

Son's was minimal and the referee booked him. Then they realised that the player was hurt, and I agree it looked like that was due to the follow up, and referee randomly upgraded it to a red without speaking to anyone else about it.

 

It was very strange but regardless of the red, I don't think Son was in any state to continue. The lad was distraught

 

Just a massive unfortunate thing to happen.

Son was rightfully booked for his part in the foul, but the upgrade to a red was wrong. Why isn’t Var checking that when they check everything else?

also when Var is checking things like that penalty for a good 3 minutes it’s clearly not clear and obvious so move on. You’d know within 2 viewings if somthing is clear and obvious.

wish the lad a speedy recovery it didn’t look pleasant that, and from the little I’ve seen of him he looks a talent. Shame.

 

The odd thing with the penalty is it was clear and obvious that it touched the Everton player and under the rules that makes it not a handball so why they spent three minutes checking to see if it then touched Ali which wasn't actually the key thing is anyone's guess.

 

I’ve no idea mate, we got nothing more from the 12th viewing of the replay than we did from the second so I don’t know what they were looking at. It looked clear to me it hit the Everton player first.

 

Says on BBC Sports website that the main cause of the injury to Gomez was caused
by the awkward way he fell. Apparently SON was distraught at the lads situation, but the
Beeb don't appear to be attaching any blame to him for the Everton players demise.
Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

 

Son was very late with his challenge, nowhere near the ball and was purposely aiming for stopping the player. Regardless of the injury he had to go.

The worse decision was VAR not giving Everton a penalty. Alli had his hand above his head in a unnatural position and wasn't watching the ball. He got very lucky.

 

All the stewards laying on their backs at side of the pitch was bizarre how long before a player goes tumbling over one of them and gets injured,never seen owt like it

 

That isn't a penalty though dreamboy. The ball came off the Everton player. No penalty. Rules couldn't be clearer.

Stopping a player isn't a red card is it? It's always punished by a yellow at Oakwell, never a red

 

I'm on about when Alli in his own box had his arm stretched above his head, he wasn't watching the ball and it hit his hand and took ages to not be given.

Depends on how you stop the player. Son never attempted to get the ball and knew what he was doing so deserved to go. If he had tried to get the ball and was slightly late then yeah a yellow.

 

But that isn't a red is it? How many times do you see attacks stopped at Oakwell by players deliberately taking out the man just after the half way line?

I'm also talking about the same Ali incident. It came off the attacker first so the rule is clear, no penalty

 

Cam got a retrospective red and the bloke wasnt even injured. No attempt to get the ball just the player.

 

Never seen a game with over 100 minutes on clock before

 

Wasn't there over 12 mins added when Keiffer went down at Gillingham? didn't we score in the 1st and 100th minute?

 

Yeah you’re right

 

Can't be long until a player over here does a interview like this about VAR.......

 

No worse then Thomas’ foul on Friday, just a lazy trip which you see all the time. If you’re sending players off for that then you’d be getting Reds every week.

 

When did Son get shown a yellow?
