    Anyone who saw this knows it wasn't a straight red.

    Another red card overturned and again shows an official's ineptness to interpret the rules of the game. Will he now be demoted? Doubt it.

    Well done Everton for appealing against what was never a red card.

    But the official on the pitch got it right, it was the faceless ones off the pitch that cocked it up.

    Grist, I hold my hand up and retract the Ref got it wrong, he was spot on. He did indeed get the tackle correct and let the play carry on. It was those behind closed doors that messed it up telling him to give a straight red. I've added the VAR audio playback as proof, enjoy it.

    Why didn’t the ref book the other player for feigning injury? About as much contact as you sliding a fiver out of your wallet 😄

    Although it’s been rescinded,it still stays on his record so in effect if he gets another red card later on he could end up with an extra game ban for it being his second red card.can they make anymore stupid rules at the moment.!.
