People moaning about the red card when it clearly wasn't, it was just an accident, he was following the ball as it dropped and if anyone looks carefully it's clear to see...he wasn't waiting for the opportunity to kick Saka like that and in that way, yellow at best, just another incident that's looks a million times worse and gets worse and worse the more you watch it purely when just considering the injury that is happening at the time.

I'm also surprised that everyone was calling for a red.

From the front on angle, Macca is clearly looking at the ball as it drops.

I'm sure it bloody hurt, and unfortunate. But surely he is allowed to take a swing at it.

Personally I think McArthur knew what he was doing, but it is impossible to know for sure. I think a red card would have been overboard as the ball was in play and it wasn't a studs up challenge; anyway, remember against Arsenal when Guendouzi rugby tackled Wilf? Karma b*tches

With regard to Arsenal complaining it won't change anything as the incident was seen by the ref and VAR deemed a yellow to be sufficient. Unless I'm mistaken no retrospective action can therefore be taken.

Yea f*** em , that was more of a red than Jimmy Macs was . bunch of pansies .

Oh dear, the poor lambs really wont let it go . . .

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Haha! Talk about rose tinted specs! I couldn’t see it live at the other end of the pitch but judging by the reaction of the players and Arsehole fans, we assumed an aggressive elbow or something horrific (which it was).

He knew full well where Saka was and the whistle had gone about a second before due to a handball. That would have been red 7 times out of 10, which in my opinion means it’s not quite clear and obvious to overturn. Jim Mac was a lucky boy and no one would have any complaints if he was sent off.

Vieira laughed about it in his post match interview, as did we down the pub afterwards when we saw the replay.
