I just don’t understand what they’re doing. They’re now saying that a wild knee height lunge with two feet off the ground is never in a million years a red card based on that going to review and being deemed a clear and obvious error, presumably because it wasn’t studs that made contact, and then next week they’ll be wondering why players are flying into tackles like that.
I don't understand the review in the first place. Then once it's reviewed, I don't get what the referee can possibly see that would justify the change of card.
That's a good one for the comparison.... it was a joke but absurdly justified as to where the game is, there are loads of others. But that's identical. If things like this get consistently overturned, then cool. But they won't.I don't understand the review in the first place.

Then you see this from March:

You can only laugh really
Don’t be daft, it’s a late, high, cynical and stupid challenge and the ball is way gone. He’s lazy in that situation. Also, wasn’t just a little trip it’s a lunge.
The Allen one is a less dangerous tackle by quite a bit imo, upgraded from a yellow to a red! Saint Maximin is going far slower and whilst it's a lunge from Allen, it's lower than Trippiers. It's a much more marginal call.
That exact goal was ruled out for us when Lukaku scored in the league cup final.

His arm is out to brace himself from running into Adams, nothing unusual about that. Plus the distance between them means it's unlikely to be given as handball.
That would be incredibly harsh to give. Adams heads the ball right at his hand from less than a yard.
Should and could have been penalty. But this guy needs to learn to count. 3 times? Maybe if you count opposition hands.
It’s a fecking terrible interpretation of the laws of the game. Makes a complete farce of the whole purpose of the offside rule.
Yep, people complain about it every time it happens.
Why the hell can’t they fix something which is so obviously broken? Just cannot get my head around technology being introduced to football which is supposed to better enforce the laws of the game, only to so obviously undermine them.
I don't know what rule you could put in place to stop that though? Gotta be on side the last time your team touches the ball maybe?
Well, yeah. The way it’s always worked. Unless you’re not involved at all. And being not involved at all doesn’t include competing with the defender for the ball.
I’ve been saying this for years. No sports are played in slow motion. If the ref can’t catch it in real time on a second look then let the original call stand. That being said McTominays two handballs in one play was so blatant but wasn’t getting called.
That's the way it used to be.
Yeah that was bullshit too.
They changed the law so it would now be offside:

Actually the Mbappe goal should have been disallowed even under the old "interpretation" imo. The spirit of the law was obviously totally broken.
He's released the ball and the throw is blocked by the Palace player. There's no "the ball must be one yard from the keeper" law that states that he's too close when he's playing the ball once it's left Ederson's hands. It's not a bounce that's intercepted either so Ederson's not deemed to still be in control of the ball, and he hasn't dropped the ball for a kick which would also make him still in control of the ball.
