He's still left the field of play for a perfectly good tackle. I don't think 'evening things up' is meant to be in the ref's handbook is it? It was a clear and obvious error.

Utd’s only option will be to appeal the 2nd Yellow and get the card rescinded.

perfect hat trick for Olivier Giroud

make that 4

Doesn’t matter - the VAR doesn’t get involved in yellow cards

Maybe have a quick watch of his headbutt and then maybe it’s justice at the end of the day

That's ridiculous! United are down to ten and potentially out of the game for a perfectly good tackle!

probably best you watch the headbutt he got a yellow for not a red in the first half before you feel too sorry for them

There was a red card though as well, I saw it. Two yellows make a red you know.

If a team goes down to ten men due to a ref's mistake, VAR should intervene - why would it matter if it's a straight red or two yellows? Absolutely daft. (I aim that at the authorities, if that is how they decide it, not you Phil.)

That wasnt a head butt, that was a childish movement of the head but deserving of everything he got and possibly more but I wish they would also yellow card the other player for play acting.

not a headbutt out on the town on friday night for sure, but a headbutt by the way its described in football

they just dont care about the play acting, time and time and time again.........

Everyone saw the red coming apart from solskjaer. He should have subbed him. Really bad management

From the beginning they’ve never got involved in Yellows apart from the scenario I mentioned. Yellow cards are the remit of the Ref.

That’s the problem of only introducing VAR for some stuff.

 

[Liverbirdie]

It was a second yellow not a straight red

And it’s prob evened up things after he got away with it earlier

That's still poor refereeing, sending off someone because you didnt have the guts to do it first time, it compounds the mistake not excuses it.

Absolutely shocking refereeing - no doubt about that at all - but I lose sympathy for Fred when he shouldn’t have been on the pitch at that point because of his headbutt

I haven't seen it, was it a proper headbutt or was it one of those where its handbags and he leads with the head,hardly touches him and the other fella makes a meal of it?

I did see the Ander Herrera one though, good to see he hasn't lost his snidey streak.?

Handbags head butt where both should get a yellow.

The same as the Pepe one - lean in with the head and a slight headbutt motion , player falls to the ground - red card for Fred for the headbutt motion and the heads actually coming together and yellow card for the diving idiot

It was a handbags one.
Barely touched the fella, if he even did, but the bloke went down like a snipers' victim with a bullet in his back.

Oh, and Neymar should have been sent off.

Thought so, good to see Herrera teaching his PSG team mates the ultimate shithousery tricks he used whilst at Yernited?

Unless it's a proper headbutt I think it should only be a yellow card.

What did Neymar do?

They're not red cards.

This is why the game is where it is today. Poor decision after poor decision given now becomes the standard.

By the letter of the law he made contact with the other players head using his own head in a head butting motion - it’s a red card all day long regardless of the level of contact or how pathetic it is - it’s a red card by the absolute rules of the game

Don’t disagree, but what are the rules of the game now. From these antics to off side and handball nobody actually knows apart from some guy sat in a warm studio a couple of hundred miles away who shouts heads or tails.
