They’ve got a good song list the oo-kra-ee-na fans, haven’t they?

It’s a clear red but is that intentional or has he just got unlucky? He’s gone to clear the ball, which he did, he can’t then reverse his momentum and the other guy is also running towards him. The red card is obvious but I don’t know if it’s also totally accidental and not as malicious as the commentators are suggesting.

Not fussed with the commentators but it was endangering the opponent, accidental or not. Don’t think the lad on the end of the tackle is coming back on. Looks to be struggling to even make it round the pitch.

edit: missing words

If that was on a City player no one would be defending it...

But then again...

Never meant that at all. If the Ukraine lad didn’t go near it, that’s just a standard kick of the ball, he didn’t even know the lad was there.

It’s just unfortunate for the Ukraine lad, ended up with a potenaitlly bad injury but was an accident.

I thought it was harsh too - he had decided to play the ball while the Ukraine player must have been 5 yards away and got run into.

How was he not in control? He kicked the ball.

Is he meant to bend the laws of physics and stop his leg?

Balbuena all over again. Never a red.

The man can barely walk and should be on a stretcher in all honesty, it's a red card all day long.

Doesn't matter, not in control of the follow through. Blatant red card.

Winning the ball isn't everything.

Nobody is ever in control of a follow through. Every single kick of the ball could end up with a bad challenge if players just run straight at them and collide with a follow through.

Zin could have killed him there

 

[MCFC1993]

Eh? Have you ever kicked a ball? Total nonsense

I have and I've never done what he did. His follow through didn't have to be that high and that dangerous.

 

[pudge]

Zinchenko should be sent off, totally wreckless that kicking it so hard so close to him.

if that was on a City player, like all of the tackles in 17/18 designed to cripple us, it would be a yellow card.
