Interesting development in this before I even post - everything is going to come from one link:
Defender’s red card rescinded as teammate’s appeal declined & Victory full-back challenges ban
Have been discussing this on another forum with someone who I believe is also a member, and we all came to the same conclusion that the incident in question (the first clip in the link) should not have been a red card, and should have been just given a foul (yellow card at best, depending on other circumstances we don't know about - eg, repeated offending, etc) as the referee has given initially.
The red card was given after a VAR review, but has also been rescinded by the A-League's Match Review Panel days later.
This may delve into further discussion about the use of VAR as a whole (and happy for the thread to be moved in that instance), but just using this incident as a starting point on "Do we think that VAR has put their fingers in it?" (eg, not sticking to 'clear and obvious errors' and re-refereeing the game).
Interesting to note is that Australia was one of the VAR guinea-pigs, so you'd expect issues to be ironed out a lot better.
I'm not sure if there's instances of red-cards being rescinded after the fact due to VAR incorrectly intervening overseas/in England?
