Ice Cream Licking Aston Villa 2-1 Supposed ESL team Chelsea

[Lastfootstamper]

Load of bollocks, was a definite red.

100%, are we now grading the severity of the strike to the face?

No, just whose face it was.

Disgraceful it has been overturned ,then again it is one of the greedy 6  .If Leicester had took their place in the top four they would have tried to get the game replayed due to Icecream gate

I don’t recall Ollie Watkins red card (or second yellow) being rescinded after it showed he didn’t dive for that penalty.

You can't appeal a yellow - unfortunately - even if it leads to a red.  If we'd been able to, it would definitely have been overturned.

The overturning of Sunday's red is another black mark against VAR for me.  Either it's a hand to the face and it's a red car, or it's not.  The ref thought it was, and VAR didn't think he'd made a mistake.  Probably just evidence of nothing more than VAR not having the balls to overrule the on-field official.  If it was questionable they should have sent him to the monitor.

I thought it was a harsh red, BUT, it WAS a hand in the face, which is a big no-no, much like head-to-head contact - you do it, you're off, whether it's a feather touch or a nose-breaker.

I do wonder if Jack making the most of it affected the appeal process?

I think being the last game of the season it’s a bit easier for them to show some leniency

Thet agreed to drop the ice cream complaint in return. Less paperwork.

He hit him in the face, FFS. Which part of that doesn't warrant a red card?

What a bag of shite.

[Border villan]

Could this lead to the nose who clubbed Jack across the back of his neck appealing?

Great win after we'd been under the cosh for about twenty-five minutes.

TMWWOW was on co-commentary again, and said early on that Marv just needed to trust his back-line and push up a bit to stop us being outnumbered in midfield. He was right.

Great to see Chuk on again -a big statement of confidence from the manager. Wonder if this comes in handy as a bargaining chip when it comes to getting CC to sign his next contract?

Ridiculous decision to rescind the red card. I'd love to know what the mitigating circumstances were for a hand in JG's face. Good to see Chelsea being punished for being in the ESL Slimy Six by being given a free pass.
