VAR intervention & Macarthur are down to 10 men. 0-0
That seems ridiculous. Last game Victory had a guy kick a guy in the head without a red and this is maybe a foul.
He gets the red cuz its studs making contact above the ankle. Something they cracked down on for player safety. The issue here is the force involved isn't considered. There was minimal force, so a yellow would have been fair.
And we gotta stop using slow mo for the VAR, it makes the contact look much worse than the reality of it.
Minimal force? He was sliding in! It was not some ‘he had to put his foot somewhere’ situation. If you slide in, stuts up and hit someone it’s a red on the shin. You could also see the stut marks with blood on his skin. Not even the player complained, he went right off the pitch.
