Match Threads Everton vs Spurs - Match Thread

nvm, found a clip, his right foot looks like it's half turned to the right, looks like he slid down onto it and done it a proper job.

The tackle didn't even look that dangerous, just a silly attempt from behind.

Sorry, but that’s not a red card in a million years!

 

[richard_gleeson]

I'm sorry but it isn't a red card just because he broke his leg

 

[Timberwolf]

Oh ...

On that replay Son surely doesn't deserve a red? Surely it's a bad foul and a yellow but it's the collision with Aurier that snaps the leg?

As awful as the injury is, they surely have to rescind that. It would be one of the softest reds I've ever seen.

 

[U.S. Spurs Fan]

But how is it a red? He had a bad challenge but if Aurier didn't happen to be there he would not have gotten injured. Was the red for the foul or because he got injured?

Gomes so unlucky. Hoping for a good and speedy recovery

 

[Dr Know]

I’m sorry if I sound insensitive but surely we can appeal that red. It’s how he landed that caused the injury. Yes, it was a foul but Son did not break his leg

 

[markiespurs]

Are we just gonna bend over and take the red card?

Probably

 

[Chimbo!]

How is it a red card? They didn’t use VAR to check!!!??? If they had, they would realise it was caused when Homes clattered into Aurier. It’s a shocking shocking shocking piece of refereeing.

 

[RickyVilla]

Great. Now we are down to 9 men

Fuck me it's literally just happened.

 

[felmani26]

Can't upgrade the card by virtue of the extent of the injury.

Yellow card for Son and without seeing it again with Aurier, I can't say.

 

[Hazelton]

Sorry but why can't they review it and reverse the red now? What's the point of VAR if not?

 

[JayB]

That's never a fucking red. It's horribly unfortunate what happened but you can't go back and change a yellow to a red because of what took place after the challenge. He landed awkwardly and collided with another player, it was dreadfully unfortunate but it didn't stem from an act which was of a type that it inherently endangered the safety of a player any more than any challenge can.

 

[Glengoyne]

Why did Son get a red card????? Seriously with VAR and the goofy refereeing this is becoming a joke

 

[Vincent30]

Completely agree. Why did everyone just accept that red. Yes it was rash but the aftermath into Serge was the breaking point. Have no clue how that is a red.

 

[JKendall13]

This season is going so badly that poor, sweet Son might be emotionally broken due a freak accident.

 

[freeeki]

Horrible injury but was barely a foul let alone a red.

Irresponsible officiating to dismiss a player who’s in that much distress IMO

 

[Chris12]

The fact VAR cannot overrule red cards is a joke. Nearly as much a joke as the Ref reaching for a yellow, looking at the injury and then giving a red card.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

I think Son will get that struck off. Looks like the collision with Aurier did the damage.
