Shoving a player in the back isn’t trying to get the ball.

If he’d dived in and just missed the ball and taken Wilson out, he’d have got a yellow card.

As it was, he didn’t move his feet to attempt to get the ball, fouled Wilson and got sent off for it.

It‘s a textbook example of a DOGSO penalty and red card.

That isn't what happened though is it. For a start there was no shove. And he ran from the side not the back. It was a footrace to a loose ball, he lost and crashed into him.

If it had been given against us as a penalty without a red, I would have understood it. I can see how it was given as well, how it looked at pace. Certainly wasn't a textbook example.

It’s exactly what happened.

Blatant penalty and red card.

There isn’t much else to say about it.

Nobody has complained about it. It’s a stonewaller
 
No complaints about the red card or penalty against us , very few if any complaints from the Fulham players about our penalty which confirms it was the correct decision. Refs really need to clamp down on keepers wasting time constantly.

Weird how the goalkeepers wasting time has creeped into the game.

I would like an explanation from Old Mother Riley as to how a player can receive a booking for off-pitch dead-ball removal of shirt and no card for the most blatant time wasting by a goalkeeper since the last keeper turned up at The Etihad. Refs are ripping a pocket off to get the card out and all they do for timewasting is stand looking and impersonating Pontius Pilate.

Could be the first time these two names have been mentioned in a BlueMoon post and certainly both together. :-)

There was a clear shoulder in the back, no effort to play the ball, clear penalty and clear decision to send him off for DOGSO. It was a text book example pure and simple
 
We were down for the game yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed the outcome, the atmosphere near the end in the ground was superb and after the match, tremendous. What a noise at the end.
We were labouring a bit until Pep made the changes, the crowd got a lift when Foden and Haaland came on.
Much as I like Grealish, he was not great yesterday.
As far as I'm concerned, if I never see Cancelo in a City shirt again I won't be disappointed...I know that won't go down well on here. Cost us at Liverpool a few weeks ago and nearly cost us yesterday...any professional footballer getting themselves sent off within 25 minutes for that is a chump of the highest order (likewise Gomez at Copenhagen)....let the guy shoot, if he scores it's 1-1 and 11v11...don't push the twat over because its then 1-1 and 10v11....imbecile. Great (sometimes) going forward but a feckin liability at the back (see also R Madrid away CL 2nd leg hoofing an aimless cross into Courtois' hands in the 89th minute & shit show at home to Spurs)....just my opinion...
KDB looking absolutely out on his feet last 15 minutes but still got up and dragged us through that, playing for the team unlike Cancelo who plays for his own post-career YT showreel. What an example KDB was yesterday, chased everything in the last 15 minutes and got us the penalty.
Back 3/4 in the 2nd half did extremely well to keep them out and worked their socks off too, they had a few decent breaks but we stayed firm and full credit to them all.
