Why not both?
Clever.
Indeed, he wouldn't. And that pretty much settles the matter of whether there was any racial motivation.
Terrible...key thing is that Fern didnt go down as if he had been shot
Not really mate, Mo is untouchable.
It's not that hard to see what people mean by inconsistent with regards to Son, just look at this month December: he was brilliant v Burnley, poor v United and Wolves and utter dogshite v Chelsea and he didn't cover himself in glory in Munich either by missing a sitter and wasting a good opportunity. He can be world-class on his day and nobody could tell you which Son will show up in Middlesbrough after his ban; it could be the clumsy and poor one or he could score a hat-trick, but being very good or even world-class on your day is something completely different from being a genuine world-class player, in our Premier League there are multiple wingers / forwards who are better, let alone in world football.

.... what would you consider above average to be then? If I'm assuming fairly decent means average. You're partially right on the inconsistent part but stats tell otherwise. 'World class' Kane was on the sidelines when 'fairly decent and inconsistent' Son was leading the club to the CL finals. Show some respect, you shameless cunt.
Son's biggest problems for me is he goes from looking like a world beater...that's typically when the "is Son our best player?" and "why aren't the likes of Barca and Real looking at Son" conversations start then the next week, he has the touch and control of a Sunday League player.
When compared to the 'class' wingers in the PL and other leagues he is inconsistent but amongst our squad, whose really been the more consistent player for us? Sissoko, maybe Kane. The previous years, yes, but I don't think it fair to use the inconsistent argument on Son this season, when that's been our entire squad in 2019.
One of those two players was smart about what he did, the other was fucking stupid.
This exactly what led to his red card at Bournemouth after Lerma trod on him, and again what led to his foul and subsequent red (later overturned) on Gomez, after he'd given him a crafty dig just prior.
He's now obviously got a rep as someone easy to wind up and when he does get wound up he does stupid flouncy shit.
He needs to wise the fuck up.
I would love to defend you on the pitch and take a crack at your kidney only to hear you say back to me after you go down how smart I was.
It's probably a good idea to send him to a (sport) psychologist as his behaviour and 'emotions' on the pitch can't be healthy for a 27 year old man and it's indeed also an embarrassment to the club. The fact that he is very inconsistent in his performances might very well have a mental cause as well.
There is definitely a place for him at the club, but he needs to work on certain things. For a guy like Aurier I've lost all hope.

Why isn’t Rudiger banned retrospectively for violent conduct???
Oh wait, that would probably be racist now
Yes, he deserves a retroactive red.
My question is why VAR didn’t look at that part of the play? He hit him quite hard and it was intentional.
Two red cards were merited.
Cos he's a protected species
Anyone getting their knickers in a twist about Rudiger making the most of Sons kick would do well to recall these incidences
And just yesterday
It's called gamesmanship and goes on all over the pitch every match.
