Tweet says not overturned by var either. I don't understand.
That's outrageous.
So this should have been a red card too. https://youtu.be/urmBZszfNXs
If its a foul the he's the last man, but it looked like a good tackle to me. Not that there should have even been a challenge, got himself into a bit of a mess there .
Ampadu has gone backwards in his career. Such a shame, really thought he was going to make the big time. Should never had got his haircut :hehe:

He's 21 and playing regularly in Serie A and for Wales, from when in his career has he gone backwards?Quote:

If there was no VAR then the ref may be vindicated.
The sending off is just plain wrong.
Sorry i will correct myself. He is not as good as he once was (yes i know he is only 21). IMO he has slowed down and from where he was a few years ago his form has gone backwards, even for Wales. He was shit at Sheffield United last season in the prem, and his Wales performances seem to have lost that cutting edge. Playing regularly in serie A doesn't mean to say he is playing any better than what he was a few years ago.Quote:

His loan spells at clubs didn't seem to light up the sky. I have watched nearly all his Wales performances which in total is not far off his total appearances for the clubs he has played for and again IMO his overall game has dipped. And as me and a mate agreed and laughed at, it was after he cut his hair :hehe:Quote:

I have a strong suspicion that the player rolling around in absolute agony from that “foul” got up and carried on with the game. It goes on a lot in football but it is blatant cheating
they have VAR in Serie A aswell
I really dont see how that got past it
To be fair it was well known bastion of fair play and honesty Franck RiberyQuote:

Terrible position to get himself into but that is nowhere near a red card, not even a freekick.
He's a sending off waiting to happen..can't trust him at all.
The ref seems to allow play to go on for a second or two and then blows for a free kick and issues an immediate red card - odd, unless he was reacting to something he heard in his earpiece. I take on board that what you can get away with when tackling has changed so much in recent years, but I honestly cannot begin to figure out what there was in that incident that made the officials think in terms of a red card.
If it's a foul I can see why a red (last man) but I don't see it as a foul
Ampadu is a liability. I have noticed this when he plays for for Wales, when you can guarantee he'll do something completely stupid at least once during a game. Vaulks got dropped for much less. Shame really, I had high hopes for the lad.
I get deeply suspicious when I see these kind of decisions. Football's a betting game and I start thinking someone's been fed a few too many sausages before the match. I hate thinking it happens because I love football.
Another explanation can be the summary from the Referee's Association: 'If a player uses excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent, it does not matter whether the tackle is from behind, the front, or from the side. Particular emphasis should be placed on the elimination of challenges where a player gives no consideration to the safety and welfare of an opponent. Challenges of this nature must be considered as serious foul play and the offender must be sent off. Brutality must always result in a red card'.
Whatever, it's down to the interpretation of the referee. To me, this one looked OK but was it careless, reckless or excessive? I don't think so.
