‘Ruins The Game!’ – Neville Fumes Over VAR Decision To Send Liverpool Star Off In Tottenham Defeat01 Oct 2023 10:42 AMGary Neville thinks a yellow card for Curtis Jones would’ve been the “right” decision after VAR sent off the Liverpool midfielder against Tottenham on Saturday.
Jones was booked on 24 minutes for a bad foul on Spurs midfielder Yves Bissouma with the Reds star’s studs going into the Tottenham player’s shin. The VAR told Simon Hooper to check the incident on the pitch-side monitor with the referee upgrading the yellow card to a red after another watch. But Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and his players were incensed by the decision with former Manchester United defender Gary Neville agreeing that it shouldn’t have been a red., Neville said: “A yellow is right. I know when you’re doing someone, I’ve done it myself. He wasn’t there to do someone. “He is over the top, the ball is moving and it is certainly not a red, it looks worse than it actually is. His foot slips, it is not a red for me and this will ruin the game.“I maybe wrong, but I just do not know any more. In slow motion, you will come to the conclusion it is a red card. I do not think he has gone over the top to do him.”colleague Jamie Redknapp was in agreement with the former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder insists a yellow card “would suffice”.“Every time you go into a tackle like this you are risking going over the top of the ball. Once he doesn’t get it right it doesn’t look good but he doesn’t mean to hurt him and yellow card would suffice.” Former Tottenham star Andros Townsend concluded:”Letter of the law, the force it has to be a red card. “But he does get enough of the ball and for me, and for a lot of players – football is a contact game, as soon as you get the ball, the rest is history.”
