Studs up, off the floor, out of control - can't see what there is to debate to be honest

Seems a pretty straightforward decision in all honesty. Yes.

 

[Billysboots]

Come on then. Who said no?

 

[Backache]

Agree looks as clear a red as you will get.

 

[Blakey]

Definite red for all the reasons already stated.

 

[NearHull]

I don’t understand how this is up for any discussion at all. Dangerous play, red card.

Defo red card and a penalty

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Come on then. Who said no?

The referee.

It is a red all day, however the Rangers player was very very lucky. Look at the position of his feet. I don’t know what he was thinking but he is lucky he was not seriously injured.

I'd say yes, for the reasons above. It actually might be an occasion where the slow motion doesn't quite make it look as bad as it is (for once), as the contact seems to be lower down on the top of the Ranger's players foot rather than high on the ankle. Could also see a VAR sticking with the referees onfield decision whatever that was.

Interestingly, the Rangers player looks to have stamped into the challenge with both feet, but obviously got there easily in time. If the timings had been slightly different, but the actions the same, then if the Rangers player got there just a little late I could have seen him causing the damage and getting the red card.

Should have closed the thread after this response. There is nothing more to add

Perhaps, but I want to see the results of the poll.

91.7% say Yes so far. At what point does the threshold of a decision being subjective come in to play, for VAR to intervene?

If it was golf, the virtual certainty threshold of 95% has not been met
