David Silva to face no further action after Pereira tackle

[BlueBas]

I feel like I'm in some parallel universe! Specially after rat boy spouting on Sky how he should have had a red and it'll get looked at later. Can't believe ref said he saw it and deemed it doesn't require any further action.

From BBC Website:

Silva to face no further action after Pereira tackle

Man Utd 0-2 Man City

Manchester City midfielder David Silva will face no further action following what appeared to be a high tackle on Manchester United’s Andreas Pereira at Old Trafford.

Silva caught Pereira in the chest with his boot when he went up to head the ball during the second-half of City’s 2-0 win.

TV pundit Gary Neville said Silva was lucky not to be shown a red card.

However, it is understood the match officials saw the incident at the time and have ruled out any retrospective punishment.

All praise King David......

 

[Chi-town blues]

Wtf ? What about the hack on gundo? That was worthy of red all day .
Btw our David lee loves kung fu fighting.

Good news. The ****s across the media tried to get him banned to help the dippers.

A welcome and unexpected bonus, when I saw the replay I thought a retrospective ban was nailed on as Marriner usually refs with his eyes closed.

Any GIFs of this doing the rounds?

This seemed an obvious case of no further action required. His foot was up due to his jump and self-protection but he didn’t put any force whatsoever into it (if it was deemed intentional) and if anything retracted his foot as soon as he saw it in a potentially dangerous position.

Despite the hype, sense has indeed prevailed.

Didn't stop Kun getting a ban against Villa.
