A football fan asked a funny but sensible question filled with dilemma on a popular facebook page .

He posted thus "Ballers, If a player scores a goal and takes off his jersey in celebration, and the referee shows him a second yellow card (which leads to a red card). Only for VAR to review the goal and rule it as offside. Will the red card stand?"
When i saw this post i laughed because it was a funny question on a second thought i discovered i didn't have an outright answer to the question above posted on the facebook group, Personally i had to make a little research to be able to know the right answer or something very close as an answer to this question and be more enlightened as well.

According to quora.com, "Yes. A referee may change her/his decision as long as the ball has not been put back into play. Typically, the only reason for that is there was a Dismissable foul (red card) but you identified the wrong player. A referee may change her/his decision as long as the ball has not been put back into play".

Furthermore, "It's not dependent on "time", but instead dependent on a specific action: the referee can reverse a card (or give a card) up until a restart of play. Once play is restarted, the decision is *final* (and only open to appeal post-match). As far as the amount of time, it is "as much time as the referee needs before he restores play. Just to be clear, if a player thinks his teammate is getting a card and restarts quickly, the referee can still *pull this back*, as HE hasn't dictated the restart". 

PLEASE YOU CAN SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

Am not a fan of VAR

The card will not stand

The card will stand

VAR IS NOT HELPING THE NATURE OF FOOTBALL, BUT IN SUCH CASE, THE RED CARD SHOULD STAND BECAUSE PULLING OFF JESSY IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PITCH FOR ANY REASON.
