I had a dream that the FA did the right thing and rescinded Sonny's red card......it was a dream, wasn't it?

Not sure they can rescind his mental state, but that's for us to manage.
Has that been confirmed ?He got it right though, the plum in charge of VAR told him to change it.
Textbook yellow. The most yellowish yellow ever.I think it was a bad tackle and a reckless one, but not an immediately dangerous one. It was a yellow card offense.
I get your point but the affects of the tackle shouldn't come into it.I'm obviously delighted, but I don't actually think I agree with the decision.
I have no problem with a player getting red-carded for a reckless challenge that leads to a grotesque injury. Intention is neither here nor there; in legal terms, let's just call it manslaughter.
Fully appreciate that the nature of the injury then becomes the subjective factor, but a chap laying on the ground with his ankle hanging off seems pretty clear cut.
Again, very pleased and let's play him tomorrow, but I wasn't in the slightest bit annoyed or surprised by the red. Actually amazed they've reversed it.
There's many a reckless tackle that results in a yellow only
Every week you see a deliberate foul to stop a counter attack, which is always a yellow.. (unless last man / already booked) , this should be no different. Horrible for Gomes but was never Sons intention and shouldn’t have been a red card so I agree it should have be rescinded.I'm obviously delighted, but I don't actually think I agree with the decision.

If you haven’t seen it look a Guendouzi rugby tackle of Zaha the other week which he only got a yellow for as well
As do I, sounds like operation went well so hopefully he makes a full recovery! Was a nasty one.Yeah, you're right.
Truth be told, I just feel really bad for Gomes. And I couldn't get exercised about a three match ban when someone else had their foot hanging off.

Maybe I have missed some breaking news but, as far as I understand it, Andre Gomes is still alive.
So I hope you don't mind me asking...
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???
Yeah, he’s alive. Might not play football again, but he’s alive.
Just not particularly outraged about a reckless yellow that indirectly lead to a horror injury being upgraded to a red.
OK... So where does manslaughter fit into this?
And, by the way, when it comes to manslaughter you can't exactly say 'intention is neither here nor there.'
Intention is a fairly important detail.
It's what distinguishes murder from manslaughter (sigh...)
Good fucking Christ. I wasn’t saying he’s committed manslaughter. Rather he inflicted serious injury without intent, but you can still argue that he is responsible for that injury, as per manslaughter.
And, if Fabian Delph had done it (again).Imagine the shrieks if it was Harry on the end of that
