jammie82uk 1,537 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BenKimbo 10 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finnegan 26,885 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I watch enough football to know that that type of challenge results in a yellow card. Shaw's was worse than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingleicester 277 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January Never understood the hype with this Chelsea side, i thinks there very boring to watch tbf, zero players with any flare 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,821 Posted 16 January Report Share Posted 16 January I've seen Chilwell's chipped in with a few goals and assists this season but he offers absolutely nothing going forward whenever I seem to watch him. Was the same the majority of his time here in his last season or so as well. When he came through I feel like he was far more impressive going forwards? Or am I remembering it wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
