I've heard Geoff Hirst goal has just gone to VAR, apparently, in slow motion, it didn't go in!!! We need some to hand some of those medals back i think!!
Can they use it? Yes, clearly. Should they use it? Ideally, they wouldn't.Not sure how these statements can happily occupy the same space
Slow motion will always make these incidents look worse. Football is not played in slow motion (although fans of some teams would disagree)
That was (almost) the Futuro (FIFA) guidelines previously. There's supposed to be an understanding now that the force is also important, not just the point and type of contact.
What about a tackle with the side of the foot onto the shin... is that a red card? Your comment suggests that it should be.

That will be a red every time in France (with VAR). French referees are instructed that anything above the ankle is a red card!
Personally, like others, I think a Yellow is sufficient. I think in England (even using VAR) it will be a Yellow.
