Is the 21 Savage video on the BARRY LYNDON criterion?

@DaleJohnsonBBC Appealing red cards happens in literally every European domestic league. Red cards get overturned all the time. Quit the embarrassing pearl clutching. It’s a good thing that should be happening

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@TheSports_Hook @SkySportsNews And that’s how it should be! Teams should always be able to appeal a red card and suspension

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@narneenryreen @Jason___YYC @BenAxelrod Good thing he wasn’t stomping! He has to regain his balance and put his foot somewhere, cheers!

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@PawlowskiMario No it can’t. That requires force. Which Balogun wouldn’t have been able to apply because he was knocked off balance by the Bosnian. You can shove someone and then expect a red card cause they fall on you trying to regain balance

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@Jason___YYC @BenAxelrod Ummm it wasn’t studs up he was simply trying to regain his balance after being shoved. You can’t push someone and then expect a red card cause they fall one you

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@BananaScientist @scottlincicome Balogun didn’t “go for” anything he was simply regaining his balance after being shoved from behind and the Bosnian player got himself stepped on

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@Gryffix Actually it was so clearly not a red card. If anything the Bosnian play fouls Balogun https://t.co/nUFedsiR04

[ForTruth @DentinoDuz]

So - I was wrong. Balogun actually had position on the Bosnia player who then ran into him from behind, put him off balance and then their feet got tangled with Balogun’s foot landing on the other player. Potential foul by the Bosnia player first who was challenging Balogun (not the other way around) and an accidental landing on the other player’s foot.

Very clearly not a red card (and likely not even a yellow card given the foul or contact by the Bosnia player from behind on Balogun who got to the ball first.

It was a no-call on the field. VAR then relied on slow-motion and freeze frames, contrary to FIFA guidance, to portray the challenge as excessively forceful and dangerous.

They also failed to show the full sequence. Balogun was airborne because Bosnia fouled him first. They only showed the moment his right foot came down, stripping away the context that led to the contact.

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@DiceElDani It’s good the correct decision was settled upon but I wish fifa was more transparent about the whole process. Let’s just hope this is a new precedent to correct blantantly wrong and unjust red cards in the future

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@PolymarketSport Balogun’s wasn’t a challenge. If anything he was fouled https://t.co/ucy3frRRus

A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:

BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.

The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.

When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.

In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.

This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.

The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@AdamCrafton_ Quansah is going at full speed studs out wrecklessly. His challenge looks awful at full speed what part of this are you guys not understanding????

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@WillMalin @BearsPurgatory @WestHam_Central I agree fifa should be more transparent on how they came to this conclusion I think we should just celebrate that the right decision was made and keep pushing for this to happen again

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@WillMalin @BearsPurgatory @WestHam_Central And why does it have to happen another time for it to not happen now? Injustice should be stopped and we should be fighting to end more of it

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@WillMalin @BearsPurgatory @WestHam_Central Had he looked at the whole thing it would’ve never been a red

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@WillMalin @BearsPurgatory @WestHam_Central It absolutely wasn’t a better tackle he was studs out into his knee. That’s always a red. Balogun was fouled and pulled by the Bosnian player. No force went down on his ankle but the referee looked at a slow mo replay of only one angle of the incident

[Dyl @dillybarLFC]

@WillMalin @BearsPurgatory @WestHam_Central And justice is pushing for fifa to be better and demanding they overturn clearly wrong decisions in the future

@AmosMurphy_ It wasn’t “harsh” it was blatantly wrong. It would be unjust to continue to allow terrible onfield decisions to continue
