       Why were the nearest AR (given he was half the length of a pitch
       away from the incident) and Martin Atkinson (he was on the other
       side of the pitch) involved in the discussions? Surely the best
       people with a view are AT (and even then he was some way from
       the incident) and the VAR team. AT has only had one look / one
       angle at the incident and there was a Chelsea player close by
       him possibly impeding his view.

       So did they all get it wrong or were they right? Maybe it was a
       split decision.
       I am sure on other days other decisions would have been made.
       I hate people its only after 6 seconds as if that makes a
       difference to the decision.
       For me red all day long for mane, very lucky boy.

       Dermott on Ref Watch  said YC as reckless (surprised?), but the
       2 pundits said RC.  The 2 pundits on Sky yesterday said RC as
       did the 2 on MotD2.  All the pundits are former players. Oh, and
       Hackett said RC but then some on here prefer to discount his
       opinions.

       There seems to be a pattern of recent for referees in the
       premier league to issue yellow cards when red card are
       warranted, this is a worrying pattern, especially when var is
       reluctant to get involved.
       Personally i think we should get rid of this perception that
       when a referee is called to the screen he is going to
       Change his decision automatically. Referees should be called to
       the screen if there is an element of doubt and allow the angles
       the var gets for the on field referee to decide. Too often var
       hides behind the referee and vice versa.
       Lastly it is very interesting that most players and ex players
       see this as a red card offence but officials dont.
       I dont remember so many incidents of this kind in years gone by
       or was that just little was shown on tv or are
       Players “playing the game differently”?

       I imagine most players and ex-players are only too well aware of
       the potential damage an elbow or flailing arm to the face can
       do, irrespective of whether it's accidental or premeditated.
       Incidentally, to be fair to Dermott, he does try and argue his
       case with articulated reasons even if we don't always agree with
       them.

       For me it clearly met the threshold of violent conduct and
       should have been a Red Card. This wasn't, in my view, Mane just
       flailing his arm in a reckless manner, I think he knew perfectly
       well where his opponent's head was and he was sending out a
       tough message about his physical strength, early on, which was
       bordering on intimidation. Red Cards have been shown for less
       this season.
       I suspect very senior referees are now seen as 'managers of a
       spectacle' rather than strict law enforcers and this game was a
       most entertaining spectacle with 11 v 11 and refereed,
       subsequently, perfectly adequately by Taylor. If football is as
       much about entertainment as it is about sport, then perhaps this
       is the way to go.

       Bent arm, clenched fist, movement towards the player -
       deliberate, malicious and intended to hurt/intimidate
       Red card
       I agree if ANY doubt here give the ref a chance to see the
       angles.
       Mount's was probably yellow so VAR unable to intervene
       Credit to AT and team for rest of the game, supported a very
       good football match

       Taylor largely reffed the game excellently and contributed to a
       great game of football, but I'd err on the side of red card for
       Mane, Mane has long history of doing this sort of thing, and
       theres no doubt in my mind its intentional, as others have
       described above, bent arm, clenched fist etc, made it seem
       deliberate to me.

       Irrespective of the parties involved surely it is very dangerous
       to go down the "he has previous" line.
       Assess every incident on it's individual merits we are told and
       he did.
       As stated elsewhere there was dialogue involving 4O AR and VAR
       with a unanimous concensus that YC was appropriate

       Because it was a huge decision for him to make so early in the
       game and he was keen to get opinions. Atkinson would have been
       able to see the coverage of the incident I believe
