Didn't think VAR was to be used in determining yellow cards. But as they make it up as they go then who knows.

They’re not suppose to but he definitely had his hand to his ear and the delay was quite long.
I’m sure they will say he was discussing it with his Lino.
 
I left the ground at halftime so my thoughts are beer related

It was very odd as the ref had a good view of it and waved play on. To me it wasn't a yellow but Franno was stupid to give the ref the opportunity. Something definitely went on between the ref and someone else.
 
I thought it was the player complaining that changed the referee’s mind.

It also seemed a very soft yellow card to give.
 
The Francis red card was absolutely deserved. A shirt pull is always a booking*

*unless a wolves player does it of course.

I watched BT Sport this afternoon, the former ref in the studio was sure it was a VAR check and he thought it was a very soft second yellow.
 
Well on the plus side, that should be it for a 343 and we will never see Franno in that position again. Love Franno but he is at best backup RCB. Also Danjuma looks the business. I did see him tracking back a fair amount, so he knows what's up with defending. A huge minus is that Harry Wilson is not a winger.
