David Silva to face no further action after Pereira tackle

[Woody13]

Didn't stop Kun getting a ban against Villa.

No I’m sure there are plenty of cases where an innocuous looking challenge has resulted in a retrospective suspension. Pleased in this instance that isn’t the case. Would have been absurd.

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.

He definitely had a little dig with his studs, Pereira had been mouthing off at Dave a few minutes before that.

If that is considered a red card offence, genuinely worry for the future of this sport!

Marriner will have had to look at that again and decided no further action to take. Fair play.

Plus think David’s reputation and previous good character probably helped. Fairly play to the ref though.

Pereira’s reputations likely also factored in to the decision. ;-)

Brown or vanilla envelope?

Neville was spot on calling that a red card. Infinitely worse than the one on Ederson by Mane that he didn't think was a foul, as any fule no...

Tyler,despite doing his very best at the time to seek an FA inquiry......will be gutted.
