[Champions again in 2012]

I hate the ***** but thats not a red card

I remember a few years ago Son (spurs) getting sent off following a challenge that left an opponent badly injured. This is because the ref saw the result of the challenge. In the days that followed his red card was rescinded because the contact and subsequent serious injury was completely accidental. The moral of the story apparently was not to judge a challenge by the outcome. When I saw the Martinez challenge in the game tonight I actually winced. If he makes contact with the opponent he gets a red card in my view but this is a case where the outcome of the challenge was not significant but could have been, so I think the the ref judges it on the outcome and not the act of jumping 2 footed towards an opponent. I will say though that only Martinez will know for sure what he was doing and what he intended.

He’s a rag.

As a 0-0 game, on last, there was never going to be much time to analyse it.
2 things though.
They looked at the Trafford Tramps Summer signings.
They never added them up to the c.£200 million spent though - why ?
Also, as Martinez just got to the ball first, a yellow was probably the correct card.
But, they should have asked the basic question, why did Martinez completely "jump in" ?
He is a dirty, dangerous player who seems to get away with it...

Because of the shirt he wears.

He could have killed him….

Would have done if the cannibal Ten Bob had his way

Haven’t seen any action from yesterdays games. Is he on his way back still?

The mastermind that is Ten Hag dropped him. Lol

Top three of the league looks nailed on out of City, Arsenal and Liverpool. Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle (despite yesterday) look like they are in much better shape than the rags. Their new signings haven’t improved them, by looks of it another season of not getting champions league football unless they act and get rid of the manager.

 

[RobinHood]

It's a red card because of that banner.

I don't watch motd.
I seem to remember a game where Aguero was challenging for the ball and his arm was slightly high (subjective).
Anyway, the incident was replayed on a loop, yellow band at the bottom of the screen etc., numerous times, in an effort to get Aguero a retrospective ban.
This was successful and no prize for guessing who Citys' next opponents were........

 

[remember arthur mann]

i think their away kit is all right, actually.

Stop wasting paper !

In my day of reffing we were told jumping in 2 footed and out of control was a red every time no matter what the consequences.

Surly the intention was to do serious damage to an opponent regardless if making contact or not. This has no place on a football pitch.

He went in knowing that could be a career ending tackle on the opponent. The fact that he even moaned about getting a yellow is a fucking disgrace.

Its a red card in my eyes, reckless, dangerous, he clearly want to injury the player.

And it still is. Whether that be on a Sunday morning or a Premier League match.

Just so happens the little bastard doing it was a Rag.
