It wasn't a pen though? Nothing to do with city bias

Really? ;)

He can only be sent off if, in the opinion of the referee, he hasn't made a genuine attempt to play the ball (ie, a shirt pull).

Had your rule book out? ;-)

That was exactly my thinking. It was such a weird way of falling and Rodri didn’t protest too much. Seemed like one of those where the tiniest brush of an ankle caused him to trip himself up. I don’t know why anybody would voluntarily go to ground in that situation.

Can’t find a good video of it. Here’s a picture of where the legs clashed.

Did Rodri go off injured?

Any gobshite knows that. I am evidence of that!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

If VAR is chalking that off for encroachment, then the penalty should be retaken because Simon (GK) was off his line before the ball was struck?

Ah, now if there are TWO illegalities at the same time there is a quick toss of a coin in the VAR shed as to which one is penalised. And the Croats lost!

Karma for that dive. Can’t believe it wasn’t overturned.

Still cant believe he fucking dived with an open goal. **** wants stoning

 

[Josh_D]

The PL imports and has imported top players and managers over the years…might as well do the same for refs because the incumbent are fucking abysmal

 

[Haaland94]

Did Rodri go off injured?

Rested and had a yellow.

 

[jimharri]

Did Rodri go off injured?

Yep. He didn't look too bad when he was walking off.

*cue him being out for six months now.
