and all of the Jets fans were cheering when they thought Daniel Elder was cancelling the yellow card but all he was doing was going to give Jordan Elsey a straight red and that's what it should have been in the first place

[@drrecksta7061]

Surely if hea already off for two yellows then maybe then wouldnt it be easier and save time if the citing panel upgraded the card instead?

@@drrecksta7061punishment afterwards for second yellow and straight red is different

[@stanmancam]

And what was the penalty for the foul 2 weeks lol

[@ShinjiGetsGrounded]

"fairly high" wtf? how the hell do you need VAR to see that. one of the highest and most dangerous challenges I've ever seen.

[@DoubleWavedYellows]

It's high without doubt, looking at it in real time I don't think the referee has seen what part of the body is involved for both attacking and defending players, hence why he goes reckless (caution). It's a clear and obvious error on two counts - 1 the referee originally gave a free kick when the offence is inside the penalty area, and 2 it's clear serious foul play as it's a boot to the head. A perfect use of what VAR was intended for, and very quickly done as well.

[@jambow-4709]

it doesnt matter how high it is. If there is not enough intensity and points of contacts are not correct its only YC
