Kyle Walker banned for 3 CL games | appeal rejected (pg 16)

Yeah "given them the opportunity" by ruthlessly swiping his legs from behind with zero intention of going for the ball resulting in one of the most obvious red cards you'll ever see. As if there was ever another option for a foul like that.

In a dead rubber when we'd already topped the group in an empty stadium of all fucking things.
 
Seen far worse unpunished, it is clear there is a vendetta against us. Fuck them, we have Cancelo. I feel sorry for Kyle though, a red was enough.

Seems overly harsh, they did the same to Wan-Bissaka earlier in the season for a pretty similar foul but United appealed and got it knocked back down.

I wonder why City aren’t doing the same.

It wasn't actually that similar in terms of the laws of the game. The Wan-Bissaka straight red was for a very clumsy but not especially malicious tackle deemed on the night to be dangerous and he was given a two game ban. It was subsequently downgraded to a one game ban on appeal.

Walker's ban is for a tackle deemed to be violent conduct which in UEFA competitions gets an automatic three game ban (possibly a longer one than that if the perpetrator is a repeat offender). The chances of getting that reduced on appeal are close to zero even if there's an argument to be had - the dark lords of UEFA tend to close ranks on decisions like this one and never show any kind of leniency.

No surprise, Walker was an idiot. Hopefully we should have enough to progress to the QF
 
Can't believe the bookies didn't pick up on an unprecedented amount of bets that went on a red card in that game.

Oh no that was a yellow and was at an Arsenal game.

Either way it seemed a little strange for Walker to lash out/kick out in a game with basically fuck all riding on it.

Like someone pointed out earlier he was having personal issues.
Footballers are only human at the end of the day.
I forgive you Kyle as long as we, re still in the comp when you return. (which I'm confident we will be).
