Ha!
VAR didn’t see anything wrong with it so therefore there is no case to answer to and within the rules of the game. Would be the answer you will get.
The answer you'll get is it was checked for a straight red card offence. Technically you could justify it as violent conduct, but I think it would be harsh to give a red card and a 3 game ban for that tbh. And if it was given, you would have the same people whinging that the game's gone soft.
One thing we noticed last week is the lack of knee taking before games, for the first time since the virus hit. Surprisingly enough, not doing it is returning to normality at games, not the imminent breakdown of society that it has been made out to be. One wonders if the England team will insist that it still has to be done before every game.
Another thing we've noticed this season is the amount of injury time in games. With the extra subs rule, 5 minutes added on at the end will be standard, before you consider time wasting, injuries, VAR reviews etc. So 7-8 minutes could be normal, rather than the exception.
We all know ... United will make the top six.
Last in the table when we face them next, aka every other team in the league is ahead of them.
Setting new records every week....
