       P TIERNEY - Chelsea v Liverpool

       Again, finally we are seeing what VAR should be used for. I
       thought red straight away and was very surprised Tierney went
       yellow to start with.
       At least he’s ditched the circle red card! 😂😂

       Maybe this won't be a popular opinion but I actually agreed with
       yellow, good chance the keeper gets there first for me and
       enough doubt to go yellow. While if Tierney had gone red I would
       have expected VAR to support, I don't think yellow was a clear
       and obvious error.

       Isn't it only a yellow IF there is a legitimate attempt to play
       the ball, and therefore I ask, where was the attempt to play the
       ball by Christian?

       That's for when the foul challenge is inside the area, to
       prevent the double jeopardy punishment...

       Indeed - DOGSO outside the penalty area is a red card regardless
       of if there was an attempt to play the ball.
       The only question mark is if Mane or Kepa would have got there
       first. Not 100% certain but I think most likely Mane would have
       (and perhaps been fouled by Kepa!)
       When a foul is so cynical I don't think the defender will get
       much sympathy and I think everyone's expectation was a red card
       - certainly there didn't seem to be any objection/controversy on
       Sky or 5 Live.

       But is most likely good enough for a red card?  It has to be an
       obvious goalscoring opportunity.  For that to be the case Mane
       would either have to have control, or obviously be about to gain
       control, of the ball.  It was not sufficiently obvious for me
       that that was the case.  It should have been a yellow card for
       me
       As an aside, Paul Tierney's position was such that he couldn't
       make that call.  He was directly behind the incident and failed
       to give himself an angle to judge it.

       For me it was definitely obvious enough, my immediate reaction
       was DOGSO and no replays I've seen have changed that view.
       I would argue that he couldn't give himself an angle, he just
       didn't have time given how quickly the ball was played down
       field.  In that type of situation there is a trade off, as
       running to get an angle leaves you even further behind play and
       any potential incident.  Sometimes the best option is a straight
       line sprint to get yourself out of trouble.

       I have some sympathy with this view and those who argue whether
       it was a clear and obvious error or not.
       Of the four considerations for DOGSO, I'd say three were
       absolutely clear cut and those boxes could be ticked with
       permanent marker pen. The one about control is one which is a
       bit more subjective but personally I think the strong likelihood
       (unless missing the ball etc.) is he would have gained control -
       hence why I think the defender so cynically fouled him.
       I think within the spirit of the game/law it felt like a red
       card and there'd have been a lot more controversy if one hadn't
       been given because it's what nearly everyone was expecting.
       Oliver looked at it as VAR and Tierney as referee and with
       benefit of replays both obviously thought it was red so I think
       it was a reasonable decision/process as personally I'd certainly
       say red card is a better decision than yellow card.
