Re: The Fleetwood game Thread

The introduction of VAR this season has caused quite a stir and does seem to disrupt the flow of matches.......
However, the sending off incident on Saturday is a clear example of how video evidence should be used after matches to review incidents, and for action to be taken, that the officials may have missed.
Sean reacted to Evans efforts to wind him up ironically after a free kick had already been awarded to Stanley.
Evans did not need to get involved!
A retrospective viewing of this incident like they do in rugby would have led to Evans also being cited for violent conduct and therefore getting the same three match ban that McConville received.
IMHO Evans action was horrible in the way he grabbed McConville's lips and twisted them! Sean reacted and deserved his red card but Evans should have got red carded too!
