Moises Caicedo was not booked for this challenge on Pape Sarr.

VAR checked the tackle and deemed it to lack excessive force — do you think he should have been sent off?

He is not wearing Manchester United shirt, no red card needed

Or livarpool

andy77.bsky.social•85 days ago

Nah! It’s not like he did something terrible like kick the ball half a yard!!

roycrosby.bsky.social•85 days ago

VAR is a farce.
When a professional footballer immediately calls out that’s a red then you know he’s speaking from experience. The VAR people have obviously never played the game and have little knowledge of what goes on within the game.

How are we supposed to tell how much force was in the challenge from a still image…

adityasingh.coys.social•85 days ago

Given the bar they have set for red cards, it's one of the clearest ones you will see in the game.

taejeon10.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yes. Romero was done for the same thing last season.

taejeon10.bsky.social•85 days ago

Caicedo didn’t even get a yellow which is madness. Taylor never beating the allegations that he’s a crappy ref

seamusdubslfc.bsky.social•85 days ago

Absolutely filthy challenge. He was trying to break a leg there. Incredible that it wasn't even referred to the referee by VAR because he wasn't successful in attempting to snap the leg of a player

aftwelve.bsky.social•85 days ago

So many people in the replies have never played football before and… I am one of them. This shoulda been two red cards!!!

alex1905.bsky.social•85 days ago

Games gone soft. You can make a strong challenge without it being violent conduct. This is a contact sport ffs.

atheistmantis74.bsky.social•85 days ago

Strong challenge for the ball would be considered serious foul play, not violent conduct.

alex1905.bsky.social•85 days ago

I stand corrected.

texmelancholy.bsky.social•85 days ago

No and still photos and slow motion replays are meaningless in this context.

thereallenin.bsky.social•85 days ago

Most nailed on red you’re likely to see, and you just know now he’ll have a big hand in Chelsea getting something from this game. Not sure why the Athletic are trying to paint it as a debate, your job is supposed to be telling us the facts, that’s a stonewall red.

custodian-al.bsky.social•85 days ago

Not a red, it's a kick to shin if you watch the video. Images like this are pointless to judge and are only used by the media to make controversy.

matr3.bsky.social•85 days ago

Let’s get the actual red at the end of the half, don’t he biased Athletic.

johnkendle.bsky.social•85 days ago

It was a yellow. (And I’m a Spurs fan.)

thereallenin.bsky.social•85 days ago

Then you’re an idiot, it’s later than a train and halfway up his leg, force should come into it, it’s possible to endanger an opponent without having excessive force. Last season v Spurs Jones was sent off when his foot rolled over ball, so that Caicedo challenge is a clear red

thereallenin.bsky.social•85 days ago

Shouldn’t*

johnkendle.bsky.social•85 days ago

Your tolerance for the dissenting opinions is well known, Comrade Lenin.

thereallenin.bsky.social•85 days ago

Oh yes, because it’s only communists that are intolerant of dissenting opinion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism
