Retired big bad baldy in all black!
Absolutely crazy "challenge" by Havertz and in the aftermath, 3 Newcastle players follow him in the the book for their protests!
That’s a red card for violent conduct all day long. Elbow to the head deliberately?? How did var not deal with that.How is Guimarães not in the book for a forearm into an opponent's head off the ball, shoving someone in the chest then booting the ball at an another during a stoppage?
How Bruno isn’t even on a yellow is a complete mystery.Ignoring the elbow, Bruno not being booked in that first half is laughable. It’s the easiest booking you’ll ever see
Absolutely this. Don't think Attwell saw it at all, so Madley can only send him to the screen if he thinks it is VC. Seems the reason given that it was forearm rather than elbow, but I'm struggling to see the logic on that, it was still a very forceful arm to the head of an opponent off the ball. Howard might be making yet another phone call.Havertz yellow for me
Bruno red, clear violent conduct
Apart from the consensus is he got the right outcome for the Havertz challenge, so can't blame him or VAR for that. Attwell clearly didn't see the off the ball arm to the head, not would I expect him to given when and where it happened, so my only complaint would be with VAR.Shameful standard of refereeing on and off the FOP
Away from the television cameras, it's that sort of officiating and inaction that gets games abandoned
It was not negligible force … would have expected VAR and red…Absolutely this. Don't think Attwell saw it at all, so Madley can only send him to the screen if he thinks it is VC.

I don't see this. If I did, agree red, but it's glancing contact at most on one viewing.For those who are saying the Havertz challenge was a caution-what else would have been needed for you to call that a SFP red?
High speed, high force into the plant leg. Havertz comes lunging/flying in. I fail to see how that isn’t endangering the safety of the player. I’m a neutral in this game, so I don’t have a rooting interest. If the only reason that isn’t SFP is because the contact was low or not studs first, then we need to move away from this “check a lot of boxes” exercise and think of the total context of the challenge.
