🚨🚨 | Pierluigi Collina reacts to Jayden Bogle’s controversial challenge on Mathys Tel 😳:

"There is no need for VAR because I can see it with my own eyes. How does a challenge like that happen, studs catching the opponent's ankle, and somehow the referee sees nothing wrong?

We have introduced technology to help officials make the right decisions, not to give them another reason to ignore the obvious.

If that isn't dangerous play, then what exactly are we trying to protect players from? Sometimes football doesn't need another review; it needs officials willing to make the obvious decision."

🚨 "This is NO accident" - @HACKETTREF can't believe Jayden Bogle wasn't sent off for this challenge during Leeds v Spurs.

Do you agree with our expert or is he wrong here?

[Mark @Markjumbo73]

@premierleague @LUFC Or the stevie wonder corruption of a referee

[(fan) Ezri @OnlyEzri]

Okafor scores ,removes his shirt,and receives a yellow card.

Meanwhile,Bogle makes a dangerous tackle and walks free.

Crooked laws.

🚨 Alan Shearer on Bogle escaping a card while Pedro Porro was booked:

“Run it again. Forget the ball for a moment. Watch what happens to the player’s legs.

“The first contact catches him at the back of the ankle. Then the other leg comes across him. He’s trying to get away from one challenge and there’s another one waiting for him.

“And we’ve looked at all that and come away without a card?

“If you showed me that clip with the referee out of the picture and asked, ‘What happens next?’ I’d say, ‘He’s in trouble.’

“I wouldn’t say, ‘They’ll have a look and everyone can carry on.’

“Someone will tell me, ‘Alan, you played in a different era.’

“Yes. And if I made that challenge, you’d have spent the next 20 years showing it whenever my name came up. You wouldn’t be looking for a nice angle that made it look better.

“I know what a bad tackle looks like. Having made them doesn’t prevent me recognising another one.

“People keep saying, ‘He’s trying to get the ball.’

“Fine. What has he actually done to the player?

“You can begin a challenge wanting the ball and still make one you should be sent off for. Good intentions don’t protect the other lad’s ankle.

“I’m not claiming I can read Bogle’s mind. Look at the contact. Look at the position the other player is left in.

“The second leg matters as well. You can’t stop after the first contact and tell me we’ve dealt with the whole challenge.

“‘Was there enough in the first one?’

“There’s another one coming. Keep watching.

“And then look at Porro’s booking. For me, he wins that ball cleanly. The referee’s straight over with a yellow.

“‘You can win the ball and still commit a foul, Alan.’

“Yes. I’ve just said that. So apply the same scrutiny to Bogle. Tell me what makes Porro’s challenge a booking and this one nothing.

“You can’t be so certain about punishing one and so generous about the other.

“Imagine Porro looking at that.

“‘I got booked for mine.’

“‘Yes.’

“‘What’s he getting?’

“‘Nothing.’

“Explain that to him without making him feel he’s watching a different set of standards being applied.

“I can understand a referee missing a contact in real time. Players get in your way. You’re looking at one foot and something happens behind it.

“But once we’ve got the replay, explain what you’ve seen that makes you comfortable with this.

“Don’t just tell me it’s been checked. Tell me what you checked.

“The player’s getting up, checking whether he can put weight on his foot, and the answer appears to be that nothing further is needed.

“We tell players to stay on their feet. Give them some confidence that when they’re caught, somebody will deal with it. They shouldn’t have to make a performance out of being hurt.

“And imagine Leeds go on to win or salvage a draw. Tottenham are left thinking, ‘We should have been playing against ten men. Instead, we’ve had a player on the receiving end of that and Leeds have kept everybody on the pitch.’

“Someone says, ‘Well, Spurs still had chances.’

“That’s not the point. You can’t take away an advantage they should have had and then tell them they should have played better anyway.

“And what if the player who’s been caught has to come off? Tottenham lose somebody they need while the man who made the challenge stays on and helps Leeds get a result.

“Where’s the justice in that?

“‘Sorry, we got it wrong.’

“Does the apology give Spurs those minutes against ten men? Does it put their player back on the pitch?

“Those points could matter at the end of the season. By then, this will be an old clip to everybody else. It won’t feel old to the team that paid for the mistake.

“For me, it’s a red card. Not even a yellow is an extraordinary outcome.

“Someone will say, ‘At least he’s got up.’

“Good. I’m delighted he’s got up.

“That tells me how the player’s doing. It doesn’t tell me the tackle was acceptable.”

🚨Roy Keane on Jayden Bogle’s challenge on Mathys Tel during Leeds against Tottenham:

🗣️ Roy Keane: “I watched that challenge on Tel, and I’m telling you, that was nasty. Really nasty.

Tel has the ball, he knows Bogle is coming, and he tries to shift his body and move the ball away from him.

Then Bogle catches him right on the Achilles, just above the boot.

You can see Tel immediately knows something is wrong.

He goes down in pain, he’s seriously injured and eventually has to leave the pitch.

So I’m sitting there thinking, what exactly are the referee and VAR looking at?

They replay it over ten times.

They slow it down.

They pause it.

They show it from different angles.

And somehow they still come to the conclusion, ‘You know what? There’s no foul.’

That is an absolute joke.

I don’t care how many times you replay it. Look at the contact.

Look at where Bogle catches him.

Look at Tel’s reaction.

You can see the pain on his face immediately.

He’s trying to get away from the challenge and gets caught directly on the Achilles.

Then he has to leave the pitch injured.

And somehow we’re being told it isn’t serious enough?

Seriously?

What more do you need to see before you decide something is serious?

The lad is injured and has gone off.

He’s not pretending.

He’s not rolling around trying to waste time.

He tried to continue and couldn’t.

Maybe we’re waiting until a player dies on the pitch before somebody finally says, ‘Actually, that was dangerous.’

Because apparently a player getting caught on the Achilles, going down in obvious pain and leaving the game injured still isn’t enough.

That is where football has lost its way.

The inconsistency is absolutely abnormal.

One week, you see a similar challenge and everyone screams for a red card.

The next week, a player gets caught like that and the officials basically shrug their shoulders.

How does that make sense?

And don’t tell me they didn’t see it.

They replayed it again and again.

They had every opportunity to look at the contact properly.

They chose not to punish it.

John Brooks and the VAR team looked at that and decided no serious foul had been committed.

I find that incredible.

Because if that isn’t serious, what exactly are we waiting for?

Are we waiting for Tel to be carried off before we decide it was dangerous?

Oh, wait — he already went off injured.

So what more evidence do we need?

Footballers have to be protected.

You cannot allow challenges like that and then act surprised when players get seriously hurt.

For me, that was a shocking decision.

Not a borderline decision.

Not a difficult one.

A shocking one.

And somebody needs to explain why a player can be caught on the Achilles, leave the pitch injured, and still have the officials decide there was nothing serious about it.

Because if this is the standard now, we are asking players to accept dangerous challenges until somebody gets seriously hurt.

And I don’t want to hear excuses afterwards.

The officials had the footage.

They had the time.

They had the angles.

They had everything they needed to make the right decision.

They simply didn’t make it.

And that is what makes it so frustrating.”

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Slavery was an evil in which people from every continent and region participated. We should be honest about the whole history, not select the parts that are politically convenient today, especially given Britain's leading role in ending the transatlantic slave trade.

If Caribbean countries are asking Britain for a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, will they also be asking the same of the descendants of African kingdoms, rulers and merchants who captured, sold and profited from the trade?

On demands for reparations, whether through cash or debt relief, we have been down this track before. Twenty-five years ago, Jubilee 2000, Drop the Debt and Make Poverty History argued that cancelling the debts of poorer countries would give them a fresh start. More than $100 billion of debt was eventually written off, but many of those countries have since built up even bigger debts. Labour are already spending too much on Britain's welfare state, now is not the time for Andy Burnham to be providing global welfare.

There is no reason British taxpayers today should be held financially responsible for things that happened generations before any of us were born. And I have even less patience for political elites in commonwealth countries who don’t know how to make their own citizens prosperous now looking for another opportunity to blame Britain.

As Prime Minister, Andy Burnham should be Britain’s greatest defender. Instead, he is writing articles saying we need to confront our history (as if we haven't done enough of that) and considering another formal historical apology. Tony Blair already expressed Britain’s deep sorrow and regret for our role in the slave trade nearly twenty years ago. There is no need to do so again.

This is all another navel-gazing distraction. The Commonwealth should be looking forward, not endlessly backwards. That means economic partnerships to make us all richer and deeper military and security cooperation against common threats. If every Commonwealth summit becomes an exercise in presenting Britain with demands for cash then we need to start asking if it is worth the effort.
