Surely there's a point in any tackle when it becomes "an unavoidable coming together"? Seems like another line that's drawn subjectively based on whomever is refereeing on that day.

May have done in the ref's mind. But it shouldn't do - because the punishment (card) wouldn't be for the tackle so much as the recklessly endangering an opponent - which took place regardless of whether it was a foul just before or not.

Having seen the replay again the morning, I'd have to agree that Moder was fortunate to stay on. I think the mitigating factors would have been the trip and maybe a perceived levelling up for the failure to dismiss 32 for two yellows.
Still I'll not be wringing my hands about it after the terrible luck we've had at the hands of refs in the past and this ref in particular. We got the break this time and about time too.

We've had this ref before and he's been awful before. We happened to benefit yesterday, which makes a change, but this ref isn't good enough for the EPL. I'd have been fuming if that had been the other way around.
How is it that since refs went full time and since more tech has come in to 'help' them they seem to be getting stedily worse?

There are far easier ways of putting them down, than not dishing out red cards for opponents that are outclassing you.
Like, maybe sending off the Forest player making a rash challenge whilst already on a yellow?
Ref-buddies not over-ruling their mates unless they absolutely have to.……..in examples like Moder yesterday the onfield ref should simply (and quickly) be told to go and have another look without being ‘told’ by VAR that ‘it’s a red’.
It would have been easier if the ref had blown for the deliberate swing of the leg on Moder by Hudson Odoi, whilst laying on the floor after he won the first tackle.

Bizarrely the ref may have missed a trick there. Did he see that cynical swing? If he did, his ' get out ' on having to make the big decision was to wind it back and say that's a foul by Odoi. Instead aided and abetted by incompetent VAR he misses one of the most obvious reds you will ever see.

The Clattenburg appointment isn't paying off as yet, is it.....

I agree. I said on here as it went to VAR "he's off"..... until he wasn't.
We definitely got away with one, but rather than cheer our good fortune on this occasion, consistency is still better and theres painfully little if any.
Does anybody truly believe if Moder did exactly that challenge to De Bruyne at the Etihad, Fernandez at OT or Salah at Anfield it would have remained yellow?

Genuinely wondering what he does for them -
'Mark, can you review that Moder tackle'
'Should have been a red'
'Okay thanks'
If it were done by one of those teams on our player - wouldn't have even been a yellow....

BINFEST'ING
These were my thoughts watching the extended highlights, clear second yellow two awful tackles.
VAR will have known their full back should have gone and perhaps exercised some leniency with Kuba
Or the Palace player who punched the ball away from an Albion player on the edge of their own penalty area
