Should the appeals review be updated?

I mean to include 'wrongfully' given yellow cards?

I feel it's ludicrous that VAR can overrule the on field referee in regards to fouls, goals, etc.

But for whatever reason clubs still cannot use TV evidence to appeal a yellow card. A card that could help cost them a player in what they consider to be a vital game.

Red cards can be appealed. Why not yellow cards?

Against Burnley CHO was booked for diving. There was contact in the box and if he had stayed on his feet there wouldn't have been an appeal to be overturned. But there was contact, so why shouldn't we have a right to appeal the yellow card?

Mane was stood on and booked too, theyll just argue there can still be contact in simulation?

I'm fed up with VAR. I agree that CHO wasn't a penalty but I did not agree with the yellow card. The Watford penalty yesterday was an absolute joke as there was even less contact on the forward. A couple of Liverpool's penalties have been debatable to say the least. Not giving Deulofeu a penalty against Spurs was a travesty. Some of the decisions against Arsenal have been horrendous.

Are we really in a better position with VAR than without? It's just really frustrating. I think there are more wrong decisions being made because of VAR than without it.

That one last week was shocking.



However, that made it all the funnier!

After last week it was puzzling that Dyce would be advocating fro a Burnley pen today with even less contact on his forward then the push in CHO's back. Wish he would stop this malarky that he is a champion of fair play and anti diving. Guys a fraud.

I lost all respect for him after his post match comments a few seasons ago when he couldn't see anything wrong with Ashley Barnes 'challenge' on Matic that could have snapped his leg in two!

I agree with everything that has been said so far.

But what's really grating for me is Television evidence can be used rightly or wrongly to make match influencing decisions.

Yet it still can't be used to overturn a yellow card that may have been incorrectly given.

Agree with you Flash - it is frustrating that the rules are so inflexible when it comes to yellow cards. I can only imagine though that it would clog the system with constant appeals, as there are so many yellow cards - and so many INCORRECT yellow cards too.
Maybe there is a way to allow teams to appeal yellow cards - but if the appeal is turned down they lose their right to appeal for the following month? Perhaps that would cut down on frivolous appeals.
