       Please excuse my ignorance but how, between them, have Messrs
       Marriner and Oliver not judged the Xaka challenge a Red Card?

       The directive is that a tackle from foot/studs is a caution on
       the boot area, and a red card on the ankle. I’d say it’s fairly
       clearly on the boot area, and the force isn’t sufficient alone
       to take it into red card territory.
       This will be a clip used by the FA in training next season, and
       I’d be prepared to bet that it will be a caution.
       The reason VAR hasn’t had an input is because they don’t get
       involved for cautions. It’s a missed YC from the referee and
       presumably a loss of 0.1 from their observation mark.

       Thanks but even given that I would contend that the perceived
       intent and, more pertinently, the force of the challenge may
       have been sufficient to elevate it

       Sure. I’m just stating the directives that we get each season
       from our association/IFAB/UEFA. Those types of tackles have been
       the focus of a number of occasions.
       Oliver, as VAR, would input if he thought it was a red - with
       which I agree with him that it’s not.
       It’s messy because it’s a very obvious missed caution, and I do
       realise that UEFA directives are seldom widely shared, which is
       (imo) a huge weakness of wider understanding of how officials
       operate.

       Just afterthought Xaka incident a Leeds player received a yellow
       card for a less serious offence. This to me summed up a very
       inconsistent performance from Mariner who I have always highly
       regarded. I thought he had a poor game as did the crowd.

       I haven't seen a clear image of it but it looks from what I have
       seen to be at least partly, if not mainly on the ankle.

       Watching Match of the Day the Xhaka's boot  and studs clearly
       hit the ankle, therefore, according to the Directive a red card.
       What was VAR doing.

       Watching the game live on tv, after a wasted 5hrs round trip to
       birmingham, i thought red immediately and havent seen anything
       to change my mind. Gary Neville said on commentary xhaka has a
       nasty streak  in him.
       Have to say andre wasnt at his best today, perhaps it was that
       damned yellow shirt curse !!

       Watching motd, can't say I can see it being upgraded to a red.
       Both challenges, one from xhaka one from Leeds players, pretty
       much exactly the same. Both yellows at most As on the boot. Good
       consistency from Marriner and Oliver
