A VAR check did take place to ensure this was the correct decision, with it being determined that there was no clear and obvious error made by Bramall in brandishing a red card. The ECHO understands the fact there was studs showing from Mac Allister and a high point of contact being made on Christie were the defining factors behind sticking by the referee's initial call.

Yes him and Robbo both were. Trent, was back to kast season's performance again.

Robbo was guilty of completely switching off late on, Bournemouth player just ran past him and then cut it back - luckily the chance was completely fluffed but could easily have been 3-2 and a very uncomfortable last 15 mins

Where the **** is VAR????

Camera cuts to Tiernay, the robbo lino & Webb supping on a nice rioja.....cunts

He'll probably rotate with the other DM, but it was just for illustrating the point that we can judge properly when we have proper DM's in the team, as well as moving Gakpo back into an attacking position.

I just hope he's not relied on to be a starter.

One situation. He played well throughout the course of the game.

Trent, Salah and Elliott were consistently poor.

Jota was mediocre.

"....... and a high point of contact being made on Christie ......"

The opposing player's foot is a "high point of contact"?

Bad challenges famously look worse in slow mo.

If anything, this looks even softer. Abysmally bad officiating.

Tierney involved in an inexplicable decision agaisnt us, yet again.

With the red card I don’t remember any Bournemouth players reacting. That’s so telling when no one is reacting to the tackle.

[Craig_H]

Standard win, 3-1 is what we should be expecting at home to these. DomSzob was outstanding, Jota came alive after his goal. Salah below par, few others too.

We’ve got outstanding capability going forward but good teams will pulverise us the way we are at the back, if we don’t get it sorted.

If everything else stayed the same but we become hard to score against, we’d stand a realistic chance of winning the league. But the defence is a long way off just now.

Cue the mental gymnastics when similar challenges and worse are not met with a red card.

Although any **** tackle on rat face is ok with me
