The Ref Stop
Probably a red card, but will probably also get rescinded. Too much doubt for me
Aside from that, AT had a dubious game and frequently frustrated both sets of players. Toon playing well though, so don't care

Not entirely sure where else he was supposed to put his feet? His left ankle gets taken out as well.

Also, why would he want to intentionally hurt him? There was no 'beef' or argy-bargy going on between the pair of them.

This is what the MOTD pundits have just referenced but for Shearer to say the referee just "guessed" basing on player reaction would probably be frustrating to you referees im sure. Such a lazy accusation.

The VAR clearly did not notice the ankle buckle which may of meant he put his right foot in that position so it's the VAR that Shearer should be unhappy with, not the referee.
 
It's a question of where you put your feet when stumbling as he was. You fall forward and your legs go behind you, that is the safest option. Don't think he has any intention but to leave his mark on the player here in frustration at losing the race to the ball and he is also looking straight at where he is putting his studs, never mind his feet. Red card for me.
 
I've detected what I believe is a deliberate movement of the foot into his back. His leg is splayed and is landing on the right side of the player. He then moves this into a position that connects with the players back.
 
Secondary movement is enough for me to suggest it's a little more sinister than meets the eye. Brave decision from the referee in real time, but VAR was absolutely correct not to get involved as there's no case to clearly suggest it isn't a red card.
