    I read it as they were split 3-2 on whether VAR should have intervened. It’s not clear what the split was on the actual incident itself

      Surely a vote for VAR not to intervene is the same as a vote saying it isn’t a red card

        That’s not how anything works. Lots of legal cases are dismissed or lost on pure procedure and not the actual objective truth.

        Process is a part of justice as well.

      That doesn’t make it any better lol. How could anybody think that VAR shouldn’t intervene? It’s violent conduct pure and simple. Semantics aren’t going to change that.

      The worst part for me is that the ref on field didn’t even see it when it happened, because it was after the ball was gone. So they decided not to intervene on the reasoning that the ref’s on-field decision not to call it a foul wasn’t a clear and obvious error when he never actually made that decision (because he didn’t see it). What kind of logic is this? They missed a call, have him go look at it ffs. Why does VAR have to be so complicated in England? It’s really not like this in other countries, certainly not at this rate at least where we have 3-4 baffling decisions every matchday.

      And no I’m not claiming conspiracy, just incredible incompetence.
