It was such a bizarre decision a lot of commentators and pundits are hoping this is a turning point for VAR.

Fans at the grounds are getting increasingly agitated by VAR decisions, the time it is taking to review, and the complete inability for refs to stick by their judgements - in this case the ref was close by, and didn't see anything wrong but it is the continued use of slow motion replays that always make things look much worse. You are allowed to raise your feet off the turf!

A few minutes later a defender has an attacker in a bear hug in the box but no VAR intervention there, as that is now seemingly allowed according to the pundits at the game. Its as random as some referee decisions so why have it all?

Anyone who thinks that’s a red card is an enemy of football in my opinion.
Absolute joke of a decision!
I have no faith it will be overturned though either unfortunately, but I would love to be wrong.

I don't think he should of been sent off, but I think like stuff like this trying to decieve the ref and officials is just a joke. Obviously the number 1 problem here is the incompetence of the refs, my wife could see that was a foul nevermind a red card but I agree that any feign of serious injury etc needs to be cramped down on. See it all the time nowadays due to the new protocol with head injuries that if a team is in a dangerous position a player will go down holding his head to stop play.

How many times during a game do you see 2 players challenging for a ball and you just know one will just “ fall over” and the ref will give a free kick. It must happen at least 6 times a game, just cannot understand how refs fall for it every time.

If Danny Rose is playing you can double that 6 times.

I think you’re mistaking what you would like the rules to be with what they actually are.

Whether you think it’s a pathetic decision or not it’s a red card every day of the week.

There’s no possible mitigation. He was always going over the top of the ball. It will be interesting to see whether Everton actually appeal as there’s clearly no prospect of the decision being overturned.


Presumably you think the challenge 30 seconds later where a Palace player dumps an Everton defender of the pitch was also a red card then?

Common sense prevailed and I’m glad to be wrong!

I'm really suprised by this. Never expected it.

Doesn't go into the details as to why. Basically they are saying the VAR official got it wrong, as did the on field referee who changed his mind after several slow motion replays.

Hopefully it'll lead to less VAR interventions and more referees overruling the monitor.

It was 100% a red card.

Calvert-Lewin's lead leg was always high and was always going over the top of the ball (even before the Crystal Palace player got a toe to the ball first). Calvert-Lewin's lead leg goes well beyond where the ball was before the touch from the Crystal Palace player with his studs showing and makes contact with the shin of the Crystal Palace player. A tackle like that where the player goes over the top of the ball in such a manner is always a red card. I really don't see why there is an controversy over the red card, other than the usual pundits attempting to use it in their anti-VAR rants.

For what it's worth I hate how VAR is used. A Rugby approach would be much better (i.e. the referee can refer key incidents he/she's not sure about to VAR and ask to see the video him/herself before making a final decision). It would put the on field referee back in charge of decision making,


Oh
