After watching the footage back, the match official flashed a straight red card at the Dundee United captain. United plan to appeal but striker Fletcher was not so sure there had been an injustice. ‘See these days, you can’t tackle like that, ’ he said. ‘Skip will be the first person to say that. You can’t with VAR. The ref didn’t see it and a couple of years ago you’d get away with it, but now they can go back and look at it. I’ve not seen it again so I don’t know, but I’ve seen Andy’s leg and it didn’t look great.’
If Fletcher has based that opinion on "Andy's leg not looking great" I wonder what he thinks about his own challenge on Craig Gordon a few weeks back which resulted in Gordon's leg looking even "less great"!
Just saying 🤷
