VAR

Definitely a red. Couldn't believe it wasn't.

Billy: "about time spurs got some luck with the refs, if it was a pool player it wouldn't have been a sending off"

Morespurs: *words that add up to nothing*

Sandy: "good decision from the ref for once. Worse challenges like from sterling and robertson weren't reds either."

It was a stonewall red just like sterling, Robertson and Maguire. Only thing I can say for Var is at least it's consistent

Sterling and Robertson weren't reds, for me. Sterling's was borderline though. Robertson wasn't even putting in a tackle. He was passing the ball, which he did and Tangolango or something came bombing in late.

I thought it was a red , I was shocked when he didn't even get booked.

Booked the ref gave a throw in!!!

I am a Chelsea fan, and I thought it was a 50 50 red at first. I think the initial contact in unintentional and unavoidable. However, in slo mo he appears to push his studs in deliberately a second time at the end, and that swung my opinion to it being a red

This.
Awful day at Stockley Park.

For me, It's a red all day long.

Is lo celso a dirty player does anyone know, he had a kick out at mason mount in the first half too

it was clearly a red. just too many really bad and obvious var calls. de bruyne hand ball in the box. were his hands in a natural position as he cowardly turned away.
var is making it worse. i can live with a ref making a bad call, used to be part of the game. but getting it wrong on a replay is more than inept, its corrupt.

Dele was involved in a very similar challenge when we played Villa.

Exact challenge, and if anything, that was a clearer red.

There have been a few of these challenges this season that have gone unpunished.
