Traore booked for diving just makes a complete mockery of VAR.

nothing to do with VAR the booking, VAR doesnt have the remit to overturn the booking unless it gives a penalty (which arguably it could have done)

We’ve seen all season pens given for less, now the “clear and obvious bar“ doesn’t exist surely it’s a pen?

And the pen for Rashford today.

Very similar to the one in our game yesterday but a totally different decision this time. It should have been a United pen.

Based on the one yesterday or genuinely a pen?

I assume Luiz didn't have to leave the pitch because the game wasn't actually continuing. They would have done the assessment while Jimenez was being treated, while the game was paused.

There was no suggestion that he later went off for concussion or that the doctor got it wrong. Arteta said he was just uncomfortable wearing the tight bandage, and it kept bleeding more every time he headed it so there was no point in him playing.

He cracked his head, it kept bleeding. Why would keeping heading the ball in those circumstances be a good idea? Off the pitch, get an x-ray, reduce the potential of swelling in the brain. I find it scary that football is still working this way.

It's still just a cut on the head though, it doesn't necessarily mean he had any concussion at all. We're talking about concussion protocol here.

He didn't have to, I thought it was a clear dive.

He stands on his toe
Might only be a bit but he did stand on his toe.
That’s enough now apparently.
I think the ref got it wrong.

In view of the recent evidence linking heading the ball and head injuries to the possibility of increasing the risk of developing dementia i find it incredible that Luiz was allowed to play on.

At the very least he should have been temporarily replaced and a thorough check undertaken in the medical room.

Not the frankly inadequate on field test as detailed by Troy Deeney on the radio this morning.

In this respect football is way behind some other sports and there's absolutely no excuse.

I would like to see even stricter rules being brought in where the decision is made by an independent doctor rather than the club doctor. I know that the doctor's responsibility is to the welfare of their patient but in a 50/50 situation with a player like Salah/Aguero/Fernandes/Kane the doctor must feel the pressure to allow them to play on, knowing how important tehy are to their team.

Didn’t Jose doctor at Chelsea resign over this issue.

Why did you say it like that? Surely that's always been a foul? You stand on someone's foot and trip them up in the box that's a penalty 100 times out of 100 isn't it?

 

[fundy]

wow, Jiminez has a fractured skull and had to have surgery last night lets hope he makes a full recovery

I don't disagree, but obviously the part in bold couldn't have happened yesterday as it would require a change of rules.
