VAR West Ham v Chelsea 19:26 - Apr 24 with 487 views

Two very similar incidents, heck almost identical, one Hammer sees straight red, the next one doesn't even get a talking to from the ref.

VAR should have been a good thing but it's been comically badly inserted into the beautiful game and it's ruining it.

IF WHU challenge the card, show the second incident and cannot get it overtured, it's criminal.

I didn't think they were identical.

One was to the breakable part of the leg, hence a potential leg breaker..

The other was to the thigh almost the waist and in no danger of breaking anything.

It was clear the West Ham player wanted to "leave something on" the Chelsea player. The Red card was 100% correct. Tyrone Mings is another sneaky player like this. Humans are like horses and by reflex avoid contact intuitively.

So the contact higher up the leg wasn't as dangerous? What is high feet about then? The first one the player kicked the ball and his leg was coming back down. The second one looked just as bad to me. I can't call either of them a potential leg breaker as they weren't going through the player.

I got caught just like that in the Swansea league. It happens. You put your foot through the ball and you often make contact with players trying to tackle you.

Red card overturned, as expected.

As Moyes said the person who made the decision had never played the game, have you?

I played football as a schoolboy and quite a bit of rugby. I noticed playing rugby that it was actually quite difficult to stamp on someone even if I wanted to. Humans are like horses they are very careful where they put their feet. In rucks and mauls you would think there would be head injuries every game but it does not happen.

Protecting your feet is a primevil instinct. I have worked on the "third rail" in Kent. This is the rail that carries 25,000 volts of juice. I have some experience of being careful with my feet. One error and it is death. It was this 3 rd rail that killed the Cricket player Tom Mayard after he ran on to the London undeground.

Tyrone Mings is another player either "very careless" with his feet or just an nasty pirece of work. Twice he has stamped on Ibrahimovich after a running battle and more recently Nelson Oliviera who was out of the game for a month with facial injuries.

You might be smart enough ot recognise Moyes had a vested interest in the case and consider if his viewpoint might be self interest. I saw two footballers argue the other way and they had "played the game".

Who were they, because Lineker, Murphy and Richards called the decision diabolical on MOTD.

Jason Cundy and his sidekick from memory. Lineker also Backed Tyrone Mings (as a promising England defender) v Ibrahimovic and he then went and did it again to Nelson Oliveria who was in no doubt of his intent.

Pundit have a track record of giving players the benefit of the doubt. They will say things like. "only the player know if he meant to hurt him".

It is the 'Shawcross syndome'. He went out to give Ramsey a roughng up, but cried and pleaded forgiveness after he broke his leg.
