have you actually watched both incidents?You're right, my mistake. I was fooled by the 'striking' similarities of the two incidents
If so, on a scale of 1-10, how much force do you think both players are hit with?

I think he was trying to knock it over Cochrane's head. I agree it was silly/stupid and didn't have an issue with the original yellow card.Said it before, you simply cannot have your foot that high whilst looking straight at the player. Whether it connects or not is a matter of fractions and luck, it's still a dangerous move. How much "force" does it take with two players moving towards each other to A) hurt the player and B) become a sending off. Having taken studs to the side of the head (and once in the back), I can say it didn't take a lot of force to draw blood and hurt like a mofo.
Celtic player was silly for doing it, the only mitigation for me would be if he was following a ball over his shoulder and was trying to bring it down whilst not seeing the player coming in. But even then, it's dicey. Again, looking right at the player and still choosing to go high to "trap" a ball (how does one trap a ball at head height by the way?) is just plain stupid.
Certainly don't expect Celtic fans to agree with that when there is whatabootery to throw in the mix, but then that's not a surprise. Never defeated and all that.

Tbh, the "handball" penalty was a far worse decision, totally ludicrous. Beaton had an atrocious afternoon, not for the first time.
But the expert ref was in agreement that's what counts.the other two panelists said it wasn't a red, as did most other pundits.
VAR is there is to correct clear and obvious errors. The ref gave a yellow, it's hard to argue he made a clear and obvious error.
Who did Beaton agree with? He told Robertson he was wrong for not giving 2 ridiculous penalties and for giving Yang a yellow.But the expert ref was in agreement that's what counts.
From what I see by watching games, refs are making cautious decisions knowing VAR will not have to make a split second decision.Who did Beaton agree with? He told Robertson he was wrong for not giving 2 ridiculous penalties and for giving Yang a yellow.
Rightly so, it was a red all day long unless you wear green spectaclesYang red card appeal thrown out. No surprise there. Right or wrong, the football authorities cannot admit they were wrong.
I'd be shocked if any decision where VAR was involved was overturned.
But, he was only trying to flick the ball over his head.Rightly so, it was a red all day long unless you wear green spectacles
Seemingly he was trying to trap it.But, he was only trying to flick the ball over his head.
Great result especially with a depleted team, plus I got a consolation 40 quid consolation penalty bet up, yippeeExcellent away draw in Lisbon for Rangers.
