His anti-red card thing is clearly nonsense
The reason there are more red cards now then there were in the 80s, which he references with the 1985 FA Cup final, is because there are more fouls that are deemed red card offences, even tackles from 10 years ago which would have been yellows are reds now, it's nothing to do with VAR and just shows how desperate he is for a point against it
Have you even been watching the games this week? Rashfords was never a red card but slowed down 10000% it looks terrible and the refs are using that to send people off. It happens every weekend and is ruining the game.
I didn’t watch united because I was at the emirates so I don’t know the details of the rashford red but reds are now given more often because IFAB seem more challenges and more things a red card and issue stupid guidance that ends up with more things being penalised and less consistency season to season
If you think that or Curtis Jones would have been given without var I don't know what to tell you
