          yeah you're right my bad

          it just feels like one of those unwritten rules, the more violent a kick out the more likely the ref sees it as violent conduct

    Truly unbelievable. You've got a guy who intentionally kicks an opponent in the back while on the ground then, when the player on the ground reacts by brushing his feet against the player who has just assaulted him, the guy who started it falls down and pretends he's injured in the hopes of drawing attention away from the fact that he's just committed a red card offence.

    Meanwhile there's a system in place for multiple referees to watch video replays in order to correctly determine what happened and this is the result. You couldn't make it up. It's diabolical.

      You can clearly see that what Foden did was a reaction.
      To not investigate what’s he’s reacting to is criminal.

      The referee on field gave Foden a red card. VAR can determine if that was a clear and obvious error. Foden kicked out, so it wasn’t.

      It can check for serious foul play against Bruno and determined it wasn’t.

      The argument of oh he kicked me first isn’t really relevant to Foden getting sent off
