That Soucek red card decision really is as bad as it gets. One of the worst decisions I've seen, no hyperbole. Absolutely embarrassing.

Come on. VAR doesn't make mistakes. Referees make mistakes. And the decisions have improved every week, with the occasional howler. The clamour about VAR is nothing like it was when it first came in.
I have always said if in 20 seconds the VAR ref can't decide the decision should go in favour of no offence. Generally this rule wouldn't be needed but with disruptive refs like Dean (who probably wants to undermine VAR) it may help.

I'm not sure if appreciate an elbow in the face and how I'd react. It was poor firm from Soucek, why did he have his elbows up that high before the FK was even taken? It was dangerous play and it needs to be eradicated from the game, two experienced refs saw it and agreed, I'm not sure why everyone feels the need to get agitated by such a decision.
Because it is so clear that he was trying to free his arms and get past Mitrovic to get a better position for the freekick and was very obviously not trying to elbow him. Odd that you can't see that as a possibility.

Moaning about playing too long in stoppage time..... mmmmmmmmmmm
It was approximately 2% as dangerous as Westwood’s forearm smash on MacAllisterin the 90th minute of our game.

So to get his better position for the free kick he felt the need to elbow an opponent in the face? The law says this was dangerous play.
Let's agree to differ. I don't think he elbowed him in the face. I think his elbow glaced his face as they were wrestling for a best position to attack/defend the free kick (my guess is that he was being held and he was lifting his arm over the defender to try and pull himself free and into the box - but we'll never know for sure). You think he elbowed him, presumably deliberately if you're using the term "elbowed". That's the joy of sport isn't it - the difference of opinion.
I skipped to a minute before that and it's just makes it better. He's talking like they've won, and then the free kick happens.

It's unreal, absolutely hilarious. I do have a tinge of guilt because I know the torment of how it feels, but then again it's Man U haha
