Kyle Walker : 2018/19 performances

[Goater=Legend]

At this time of the season we don't want to give these refs a reason

Oh sorry, I picked the wrong term in my annoyance, my bad. I meant 'accuse' instead, honestly.
Sorry again.

But that doesn't change the main points of my post
and the questions you preferred to remain unanswered.
But hey - let's assume they've been rhetorical and just disagree. That's fine with me.

I'll Iput aside the fact that I didn't 'accuse' Kyle of anything either. And address your questions:


The questions you asked are only relevant to issue "what caused Walker to committ an offense that deserved a red card? "

However, they are wholly irrelevant to the question of whether his act deserved a red card.


It seems you and @FantasyIreland are unable to see the distinction between these 2 issues. I'm assuming that's why you both thought it was something worth noting.

Sure, one would have understood why Kyle got the red card had it been given, but this would have no bearing on whether it should have been given.

But I'll let you or FI have the last word. And thanks for the honesty regarding the insults claim.

Clearly not...even VAR said NO!

If he had pulled his head back, yes.

And, if someone pushed me down and stamped on me for nothing, I might be a bit angry too. That said, he screwed himself, because it meant he couldn’t leave something on him in a challenge later. Like I said earlier...stupid!

Come on!!! Other way round we would be screaming red all day long. Hay pleased it didn't happen but he needs to get a grip of his temper

I think he’s a lucky boy. We’ve seen them go for less over the years.

I’m not sure which “we” you are referring to, but I don’t think it was a red and the ref and VAR didn’t.

Do you know something “we” all don’t???

Does the offence fall under Violent Conduct? The answer is no. There is no application of excessive force, or brutality.

VIOLENT CONDUCT

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible

So you can kick someone in the face?

From where we were, behind the City goal, I thought that bastard with the whistle wouldn't need VAR. Having sent of Delph via yellow then red, I thought he go straight red, but then when Tierney has seen it on the replay he will have seen the Brighton guy putting his foot on the back of his thigh when there were other options for where to place his landing foot. Send off Walker, yer have to send off the Brighton guy, and they wouldn't want to do that. Spoils the game, don'tcha know! I point that I would raise though, is that if the red card is a clear and obvious decision why was it taking so long. Perhaps Tierney told the Alty Tit that it was neither or both.

I agree. It was probably the fact that they got a better look at the Brighton player’s offence that saved him. That arguably moved the decision away from one concerning just Walker to two yellows versus two reds. Under most circumstances Walker would have been off.

Why exactly did Jahanbakhsh push Walker?
How did he want to win the ball?
Why did he stamp on Kyle's thigh?

Even after more strict German reffing this is not a red,
it was more like "aggressive standing".
Cool down emotions, a yellow each and go on playing.

Kyle had good reasons, which was pain and the foul being pure provocation.

Without Kyle's reaction Jahanbakhsh deserved a clear yellow, VAR could justify red for the stamp. So what?

Finally stop insulting Kyle for being angry about that bastard.

“Aggressive standing”. I like that one :)

Yep I agree, very nieve from Walker and one we got away with. Hopefully he will learn his lesson and doesn't pull the same trick in the more important/bigger games. I think Pep would have bollocked him at HT and then took him off to make a point. Could be a blessing in disguise!
