[frothy]

At least we won’t see Lewis in the next game

Prick

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Nonsense

I thought it was a red. Same way Mane was a few years ago. He did not mean it, but it was dangerous.

 

[waspish]

He kicks the ball, collides with the attacker whose tackle is late, his foot is forced up in the air and collides with the attackers head that is two feet off the ground.

Yes agree referee see foot towards a players head live and the players reaction was over the top too! Var though had a look didn’t think it was enough to overturn it!

115 pages that'll do nicely blues

 

[Rolo]

Such an awful finish, no precision or confidence whatsoever.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

1st 2 seasons he scores that with his eyes shut. Finishing has dropped in the last half a season

Perhaps he's started looking at what he's doing! He should revert to the eyes closed option.

 

[Haaland94]

3rd red card for Lewis, not exactly street smart to leave the boot up. Poor today.

 

[moomba]

This fucking “superior” player of the match

Fuck off with it

Grow up.

 

[Coljj]

Rico raised his leg after he cleared the ball. Its a red.

If he did I think it was to avoid the opponents studs. I think he even took a knock on his left knee from the opponents momentum sliding into him.

 

[Mancity1980]

It's a friendly it doesn't count

It’s a FIFA tournament.

 

[burning blue soul]

City shit referee decisions..... gone international!!!

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Agreed. No more harsh than Mane getting red for the kick on Ederson.

Not even remotely the same challenge. Mane’s boot was high and Ederson’s head was in a natural position, not to mention that he got none of the ball

 

[Longballutd]

Prick

Is that you Rico?

 

[Micky Blue]

I thought it was a red. Same way Mane was a few years ago. He did not mean it, but it was dangerous.

You talking about the Mane on Ederson?

 

[Brewster's millions]

Scrappy.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Why is Townsend describing it as unfortunate that the Moroccan team hadn’t scored? ****

 

[CongletonBlue]

One game down, minutes in the tank for the lads.

Christ I’m glad I don’t have to watch them with some of you lot in here. Embarrassing.

 

[jimharri]

Is 'dangerous' a red? Thought it had to be reckless, which that wasn't.

"endangering an opponent", isn't it? And catching him on the cheek could be seen as endangering him!

 

[TheBlueCat]

Is 'dangerous' a red? Thought it had to be reckless, which that wasn't.

Other way round mate, reckless is yellow, dangerous is red

 

[Dax777]

If he didn’t that Obeng probably would have broken Lewis leg. It’s a terrible call.

No. Their bodies would have collided. I get Rico was instinctively trying to protect himself, but i can see how a red can be giving for clobbering an opponent in the mouth with your studs
