Not defending the decision but getting the ball is irrelevant for serious foul play. It wasn't SFP for me but getting the ball doesn't get you off the hook.
I said VAR would ruin the game. It seems that, not content with it being a stupid idea in the first place, there's a determination by the authorities to run it as ludicrously as possible and to generate controversy deliberately, even when it could be used to correct utterly potty decisions. I'm done. Football's dead. Vin
That’s as corrupt a decision as you will ever see. Total bullshit. Any argument for VAR is nullified by that decision. It was a 50/50 ball and vesty won it. Not even his fault. Now I’m turning it off. Simply not interested. Good luck saints fans.
As Vesty walked to the side line, Ralph turned his back on the pitch and walked towards a chair, pretended to look down and away from Vesty, who carried on walking towards the tunnel looking towards Ralph. As soon as Vesty had walked behind him he walked back to the edge of the pitch.
If it's a reckless challenge then it's still a foul. That's what they will say. I personally think it's harsh but there you go.
Get the camera and watch how Vardy lands from jumps with his studs down legs. See who really deserves a red card.
