It was a premeditated slap to the face, even if only his fingertips caught the Basle player. He looked twice - that's TWICE- to check that he was in range before hitting him.
EDIT
Ribery would get 10 red cards a game.

I can remember Sun Jihai being sent off for a much less serious incident than that.
Markovic looked where his opponent was and deliberately swung his arm to catch him.
Red card all day long IMHO.

Liverpool use to be a shoe in for the Champions League knockout rounds now look at them.
They could of done a lot better recruiting in the summer. They have followed Spurs in blindly wasting money and will have one hell of a job in shifting their players.
Yep. You'd have thought the Spurs experience would have been a factor in Brenda's thinking about how best to invest the Jaws to Barca money. Clearly it wasn't. I bet the American owners are uber impressed with this shit.
I hope all you people are lighting candles for poor Steeeeeeevie.

Is the correct answer. Why did he do it? The Basel player wasn't in a position to make a challenge, and Markovic looked behind him to check where he was. It was a ridiculously soft red card (a yellow would havemade more common sense), but it was a deliberate act by the Liverpool player. Utterly stupid.cookster said:supercrystal7 said:Agree to disagree.Vienna_70 said:I can remember Sun Jihai being sent off for a much less serious incident than that.

Markovic was an idiot, don't stick your hand in the face of an opponent, don't give the ref a decision to make..... easy!
Says it all about decisions in football. Everyone on this forum watches a lot of football and we have such different opinions. I think it's an awful decision and others think it was a great one with no controversy.adrianr said:supercrystal7 said:Because they are right.

I only caught a glimpse of it on a passing TV, and frankly even though it was Liverpool on the receiving end of it that never looked like a red card to me. Players push their arms out expecting collisions all the time, give themselves a bit of space or anticipation of a tackle. It just looked like he's gone to do that, clipped his nose hairs, and the other lad has hit the deck like a fucking fairy. Happy to change my view upon watching it again though!
