egg_fried_rice Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 Think it should've been a yellow, but you can see why it was given and it's never getting overturned. Moronic decision to make a challenge like that it that situation, Fulham were right in the game and probably should've been one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goober Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 It's a strong tackle, slightly high, but not a red. Mount is a nob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 It's a red because Azpilicueta is screaming around on the floor. Fine now I see. He jumps in the air to make it look worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else you've said is why the wrong decisions are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkie Bennett Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 1 minute ago, Vacamion said: Azpilicueta rolled and rolled and screamed after the tackle, and his teammate squared up to Robinson. Didn't help. Definite yellow made red by the overreaction which the ref allowed himself to be influenced by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref didn’t even go to the monitor unless I missed it. Compare that to how long they reviewed the Shaw one which was the same but he got a yellow. Just goes to show the corrupt state of VAR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of control and reckless. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the commentators and ref both though it should be a red, for the same reasons the chap above said. "I think it's a yellow but I've seen a red given".

jammie82uk Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 Surprised at all the comments saying it’s not a red Law 12 states 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.

It used to occur before an advert break. Now he shouts it then they cut to the players just standing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKimbo Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 Only no broken bones because Azpilicueta didn’t plant his leg. Robinson didn’t know if his leg was planted or not so he would have made this type of challenge either way. Red card is the right decision.

So you can put in a perfectly timed challenge that wins the ball and gets a red. If tackle that is hard regardless of result is a red then fair play.

Finnegan Posted 16 January 2021 Share Posted 16 January 2021 23 minutes ago, The Bear said: Very much the former. Once we get out of lockdown, get the fans back and can have a normal break and pre-season things will be much better for everyone involved. FWIW, as a neutral looking in, that sounds about right. As long as there's no falling out in the squad and he keeps everyone on side I imagine you're right. You've got the advantage of knowing the relegation places are already more of less wrapped up so it's basically a free season tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
