I know it was a different referee but what is the difference
between the red card for Emerson today and the tackle in this
photo which was only a yellow?

Both should be red but Emerson's was a deliberate attempt to
hurt his opponent in a nothing area of the FoP, not at all
challenging for the ball. There is more to assessing SFP than
point of contact or "if it isn't going to brake his leg then a
booking is enough", I would politely suggest to jacksamuel21.

The fact that Emerson only meant to foul Martinelli means it
should be a red. However consistency wise it shouldn’t be a red.

When I saw it at the time it looked like a foul and nothing
else, when I saw the replay I thought there was a bit more to it
and expected Taylor to brandish the yellow; I can see why he
gave red and it's one I wouldn't want VAR to overturn because it
should be the perception and management of the referee on the
pitch BUT with the benefit of seeing it back, I think the lack
of force for me would have made it yellow.

I agree with this. Having watched it numerous times, I keep
expecting to see something I'd missed. For example, if the
contact had continued as a rake down the leg with studs, a RC
would be absolutely correct. In several incidents this season,
a YC has been considered the right decision because of a lack of
excessive force, not endangering an opponent, irrespective of
whether it was an attempt for the ball & just bad timing. On
RefWatch, the van Dyke challenge in the Merseyside derby was
referred to. I agree this incident with Emerson could be
considered malicious as well as high contact because there was
no chance of getting the ball but did it really tick any boxes
for excessive force or dangerous? Not a nice foul but does that
make it a RC?
Once a straight RC was shown (supported by Dermot but not
Stephen Warnock on RefWatch by the way), I didn't expect VAR to
intervene. Equally, I'd have been surprised had they done so
had the colour only been yellow. I do feel there is a question
of consistency on these sort of fouls and challenges.
Overall though, I thought Anthony Taylor handled the game very
well.
