So ref, and VAR, ball's gone, tackler's off his feet and he's in studs first above the ankle; how, exactly, is that a yellow card?

Did they look at it ? After the recent raft of red cards from someone just tackling and then follow through that looks worse ?

Apparently they did, and deemed it only worthy of a yellow. As you say, I've seen better tackles get red carded.

Stills always look worse than the video, which I've not seen yet. But as its Raheem, stone wall red. Every day.So ref, and VAR, ball's gone, tackler's off his feet and he's in studs first above the ankle; how, exactly, is that a yellow card?

Many many many worse tackles have seen red. I reckon his left leg being on the floor saves him. He's not it off control. But it is dangerous.
Honestly? I think yellow is about right. But the kicker is what refs have given reds for recently, which is fair tackles. So who knows.
But I'll stick to my original decision. It's Raheem. It's red!

It was a bit like the non-penalty, 2-3 views looked just a yellow, but one was deffo a red.
Both decisions went City's way from the greater Manchester based referee.

How many times is VAR going to get things clearly wrong?! Red for Sterling and then he should've had a penalty.....both looked at and wrong decisions given. The game today was decided on bad calls, although Chelsea deserved the win. VAR was added to cut out mistakes and theres as many, if not more mistakes now than there was before. For every bad decision it corrects, theres another five it gets wrong. Totally pointless and has definitely made refs on the field far more insecure and less confident.

The PL is a joke. Allowed owners from other countries with toxic human rights records to buy clubs, yet says no to the Saudi's. If the UK government deals with them for arms deals, the PL has no place to stop it. They've allowed some of the worst owners possible buy and wreck clubs so I think Ashley stands a good chance of winning this.

He should have been on the bench with a red card .
Inconsistency from refs is poor.
Vesteguard at least got the ball.

CB was never getting the ball and was a stupid clumsy attempt I agree.
Modern refs give that all day.
you can’t foul him if he’s not on the pitch.
If the ref had done his job properly he wouldn’t have been.
Given what lads have been sent off for recently I am scratching my head.
VAR what a joke.

Why a joke? On field ref gives a yellow, whether we agree or not. What is missing is the conversation between the VAR and the on field ref as to why the VAR doesn’t think it’s worthy of a monitor review for a red. Perhaps then if we had that, then we could reason why.
For what its worth, I think it should have been a red. But that’s my opinion. The on field ref and VAR’s opinion is yellow. Deal with it.
There is too much hysterical nonsense about VAR.
