Match Day Thread Saints 9 v Leicester 0, 8pm Friday 30th April, Sky Sports

But it was an error. Clear and obvious because it wasn’t four play but a scoring opportunity and it wasn’t.

 

DOGSO.

 

Bullshit ......isn’t it?

 

But we can't criticise her opinion cos she's a woman.

 

Can’t make the incompetent idiot with the whistle look like he might have made a mistake.

 

Not a clear enough one to get overturned. Because he dived in a reckless manner it was a foul and there's not enough evidence to overturn the DOGSO part of it. So VAR stayed with the referee's decision.

 

Can we please stop this silly bitching over a decision that has been made and move on? FFS this is tedious...

 

9-0 mention again .........what prize I get?

 

You think

 

You’re just defending it because he’s a referee. You said yourself it wasn’t a red but now you’ve reverted to type.

 

four play? Have you found a different programme? I didn't think those started until after midnight. er, apparently, so I've been told...

 

I said it wasn't a red when I thought it was SFP.

 

Watching it back, Vestergaard actively and clearly changes the angle of his foot to direct the ball back to McCarthy. No way at all it is a deliberate or reckless attempt to play Vardy's ankles too.

Seeing as Balbuena got sent of for contact on the follow through in an area with no danger whatsoever, it perhaps shouldn't be surprising but it's farcical nonetheless

 

This is what the forum is for, to be fair.

 

And that was overturned on appeal, as this one will be.

 

At least we never tire in the second half

 

Well l think we have done pretty well since the incident. l thought one note of positivity should be mentioned.

 

I only turned on after I heard of the red card and think we've done okay in that time tbh.

 

Balbeunas got rescinded. So if that was overturned, there’s no way this should be a red.

libby is right, we’re going well since the red. We were doing well before, too. Just don’t understand why the referees have to be the centre of attention every single game.

 

I'm not saying it was a great decision. But my point VAR can't overturn it because it's not a glaring error. This is where we need to hear the conversation that goes on. If he hadn't given a foul VAR wouldn't have gone back to it. It's unfortunate but we haven't been exactly massively screwed over either.
