coolhandfox Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 People need to read the laws of the game, if they don't think thats a red. SERIOUS FOUL PLAY (FA WEBSITE) A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather have Lindgard or Bamford though .. I'd agree he has plenty left in him, because he is smart, but he isn't as mobile as he was. I guess you could point to someone like Ronaldo, who adapted his game to great effect, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 Stones bound to score with one of those dribbles forward. Probably be a heavily deflected shot as opposed to a top corner worldie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All down to interpretation. As you can tell from discussions on here, some think it was, some don't. Sterling stamped on the keepers hand, does that not justify a red based on the above, "endangering an opponent". Cooper clears the ball, and as his leg naturally comes down it catches Jesus. For me not enough to conclude he was reckless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just having a different perspective. I don't think you can sweepingly say people don't know what they're talking about or have/haven't played just through a difference of opinion Absolutely, it's not the be all and end all but having played football does help understand actions/reactions a bit more.

KrefelderFox666 Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 Just now, StanSP said: His leg wasn't coming down as he went in to Jesus though. He'd barely cleared the ball. Of Jesus was two steps further away, nothing happens. It's just a coming together for me. He's not missed the ball, gone over the ball etc. I could understand if his leg cleared the ball at waist/chest height and he then catches a player, that would be reckless as his leg shouldn't be that high.

The laws support the decision but we all now how unclear laws can be. Handball a great example. Similar in rugby too with red cards being checked for certain criteria which to some extent is to the refs interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 10 April 2021 Share Posted 10 April 2021 If Man C don't win, will Pep say "they did nothing" and "only 1 team was trying to play"? Course he won't, he'll wax lyrical about how good Leeds are and how Bielsa is the best thing ever. Will the Man City players all moan about the way Leeds were defensive etc? Nah Pep won't allow it. Bell end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Gabriel Jesus is lucky he is back on his feet. What was Liam Cooper thinking? Let see how may ex-pros think thats not a red in the post match analysis.
