Guest MattP Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 Definite red, follow through is absolutely appalling. Winning the ball doesn't mean you are then allowed to snap the opponents knee in half. No need to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair few times Vardy was hanging on the last man and didn’t receive the pass.... he cut a frustrated figure throughout that game, which was frankly rather alarming to see.

Ha it’s true though, imagine if one of their players did that to Vardy. We would be calling for the firing squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 To those saying "that would be a good tackle 20 years ago" **News flash**...It's not 20 years ago. Also, 20 years ago, it was 1998 and I'm pretty sure that would still have been a sending off. Maybe in the 1980's it would have been okay but that's 35-40 years ago now and the game has moved on whether you like it or not. That's not a good tackle and those criticising the Wolves player for his 'body position' should have a word with themselves- did it cross your mind that the guy's awkward position may have been because he thought '****ing hell, I'm going to get crunched here'. Anyone who has played football knows it's one of those where you go in hard to make a point and because you're angry. You make that tackle knowing you're probably going to get at least a yellow so it's always a gamble the ref will see it as a red. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to get with it and realise that you can’t do stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfcsnow Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 One things for sure, after years of top form in his hypervenoms he needs to switch back asap, they are by far the better boot compared to the Adidas he’s wearing now speaking from experience.

ithuriel Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 I would have given a yellow since both players were lunging in and Vards was faster to the ball, if more aggressive and those saying you cant just give a yellow for that, Pickford did worse for Everton and I cant remember him even getting booked so it is down to the referee and what he decides which unfortunately was red. Does not matter anyway, we are blessed with an abundance of goal scorers That's my Sunday mornings opinions worth anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 19 August 2018 Share Posted 19 August 2018 First instinct was it was a perfectly good, hard tackle. However having seen it back the follow through is horrible and a red card was the right decision. I'm not really sure why Vardy lost his head? Having not been born then, what did you have to do to get a straight red in the 70s/80s? Go 2 footed on somebody's throat? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
