An appeal against the nonsense of Tomas Soucek’s red card has been lodged, so the goalless draw between Fulham and West Ham cannot be fully banished from memory just yet.
It wasn’t an abysmal game, but it is telling that its one distinguishing feature came in stoppage time with another ludicrous VAR decision.
It was a freeze-frame that would have you believe a violent man was lurking inside one of football’s gentler souls, and that Soucek had intentionally elbowed Aleksandar Mitrovic’s forehead.
While contact was clear, it was also screamingly obvious from Soucek’s body movement that an attack was not his intent.
