Robertson's challenge

It was a clear red. Very similar to Aubamayang earlier, just our lad's ankle didn't buckle. It was studs up, full force and caught him on the ankle

Why was this not reviewed by VAR? Why did the commentators not even mention it?

Honestly, the lack of consistency with VAR is just ridiculous.

Yellow for the second one definitely but not sure about the first, obviously not a red though

Second one was definitely a yellow and bordering on red due to it being off the ball.

First one at most a yellow but for me not even a freekick.

You boys should be more concerned about winning 1 in 6, rather than imaginary red card tackles. 🤔

Have you not been reading the spurs board lately ?

No I haven't to be fair. 😂

Lies. 🤣

Yep agree with this

Dunno what he was doing for the second one, strange moment from him

Hate Spurs but if Robertson can't control himself to the point where his leg is following through like that, then it's reckless play and probably a red.

If it was a similar tackle but someone gets caught with a flailing elbow after it'd probably be a red, it's all about the end result and the safety of the players.

It's not even close to the same as a flailing elbow.

He needed to get to the ball and it was impossible for him to change direction after getting the ball.

Unfortunately the Spurs player planted his foot in a spot where Robbo could not avoid stamping on, both were trying to reach the ball fairly. I don't see what Robbo could have done to avoid impact and it was not reckless.

Late to the party but never a red imo - showing photos of Aubameyang vs Robertson is very misleading.

Robertson was kicking the ball and his leg came up, Aubameyang was applying downward pressure and nowhere near the ball.

Slo mo makes it look intentional but I think it was a reasonable challenge personally.
