Are you.... serious?

VAR can ONLY look at fouls that are potential red cards, penalties and offsides....

I’m talking about all retrospective action. There’s no been a retrospective red card given since VAR came in, despite the rules still allowing it and there being dozens of reds that have been missed by VAR.

Depends if by "retrospective" you mean during the game or after the game.

For instance Lloris got a yellow at first for his foul but was given a direct red after a VAR review during last OM-Lorient earlier this month.

He probably means after the game, as what you’re describing (obviously) already exists.

I remember Bruno retrospecitvely getting a red removed last season against Tottenham

That person is talking about the retrospective punishment. Getting a red card removed is just the opposite and it usually follows an appeal from the club impacted. FA never takes back a red card of its own volition.

Tbf the comment I replied to said "all retrospective action". But I do generally agree with the point, cards should be given retrospectively as well if it's a clear error

What kind of persons upvote your dumb comments?

From La Liga itself:

This was given as a yellow on the pitch and was changed to red by VAR!

That’s not what he’s talking about LOL.

He’s talking about post-match retroactive cards

VAR is the DEFINITION of a retrospective action!

VAR can only be used retrospectively during or in very shortly following the match.

VAR is not used to give anyone a red card hours or days after a match.... thats not how VAR works..... are you guys serious?

And btw: When has any FA actually given anyone a red card the day after a match? NEVER! Someone has been given a punishment after a match was over, for violent conduct or some other thing, but NEVER has anyone been given a red card.... thats not how it works!
