Chelsea lose 3-2 to Burnley in the first game of the season, having had two red cards
McNulty: Conte might not last until the end of the season

Liverpool lose 5-0 to Man City having had one red card
McNulty: The loss has to be put into context


why anyone listens to what the press say is beyond me,they say one thing one minute then the complete opposite the next.

Matt Law clueless ****. John Cross Wenger puppet. Who cares what they think.

To be fair to Matt Law. He said it was a straight red card and there should be no debate about that. Matt Law went on to say that it says more about Liverpool than it does about City. He was in fact saying that they have more defensive problems than we have.
Rod Draper - the guy with the squeaky voice said straight red no debate.
John Cross said by the letter of the law it was a red but it was wrong. Mane had his eyes on the ball. He wasn't being malicious. Liverpool are going to have to do without his services for 3 matches as he's been their best player.
As for Neil Ashton - he's just a dick.
Not a lot of sympathy for out keeper.
 
It's fucking laughable that it's still being questioned that it was a red card!?? Not one person has thought or said it was intentional but FFS it's a red card all day every day!

The commentator couldn't believe Milner being booed, city fans used to be better than that and used to welcome ex players back with applause , it's a sign of how the clubs changed.
I've never heard any criticism of the dippers or anyone else booing sterling

Also, if he'd known his onions (which he is handsomely paid to so do), at the very least, he'd have known that Milner got a very warm reception when he first came back to the Etihad with Liverpool, and would have joined the dots, even if he didn't know the narrative behind the booing.
 
I'm sure we all remember Vinny's red card v the rags 10 minutes into an FA Cup tie a few years ago. He went in two footed, but not maliciously, on Nani, took the ball clean as a whistle and Nani had no problem with it. Shrek then lobbied the ref (Foy IIRC) to send Vinny off and he duly obliged. Just about every pundit said it was a red card.

Fast forward to yesterday. Ederson (6ft 2") jumps high to head the ball clear and Sane (5ft 9") has both feet well off the ground and is totally out of control when he 6 studs and boots Ederson in the head. Red card all day long but the likes of Tyler, Neville, Cascarino and the MOTD muppets can't see it.

It's a sad indictment of the continued lowering of standards, that he had no idea of the story. To then compound that by actually speaking, provides further evidence of his culpability in this regard, were any further evidence needed.

Yes but very grudgingly "by the letter of the law". They all said there's no problem going in for a challenge like that and they'd all have done it in a similar situation during their playing days. In view of the latter comment and the caveat of "the letter of the law" it's clear what they really thought IMO.

Its really quite strange.How any right minded person think that the challenge is anything than a red is beyond me. A kung fu kick in Eddies face.
 
There was a difference in their statements. They would have all gone for the ball as any striker would but no mention of would you have gone for the ball with your foot up?

Also there was " he didn't see the keeper" but "he was trying to dink the ball over the keeper". Bitter barstewards. Suck it up and be prepared.
 
normally in these cases the first thing they point at is the players reaction... No one seems to have even mentioned Mane reaction to his red, even he knew.

The bias is taken to a new level and all I can hope is that they look back at this and be so fkin embarrased
 
Goals on Sunday now slagging Sergio off for passing to Jesus for his second goal.

Apparently Pep has "got into his (Sergio's) head" and a "top striker" should have "taken it in himself in that situation".

Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

The media really hate upstarts massacring the murderers.

I've just posted this on the BBC 'have your say':

"So 3 strikers Lineker, Shearer and Wright all make macho claim that they would have recklessly risked putting their studs into a goalkeeper's face. There were no goalkeepers asked for their opinions. Poor BBC balance in line with lower standards of journalism. Shame Petr Cech was not consulted and that Bert Trautmann is not still with us to comment."

Lineker wouldn't the fucking goody two shoes. He never had a booking did he let alone a red?

Oh make no mistake laserblue they see it, why it's so hard to accept or understand a ruling about dangerouse play just makes me think that it's only wrong when it does not fall within the script. Besides it deflected the result and hammering to one of the money earning elete for the media. They seem to conveniantly forget, that we had Walker sent of in a first half two weeks prior and played brilliantly for the rest of the game.
