looks like they might have a player in Hojlund.

He's just a shit Liam Delap.

He didn't, though. They still got the penalty. It's the "double jeopardy" thing, isn't it. Not being punished twice for the one offence (the red card, AND the penalty). If it had been outside the area, then yeah; he may well have got a straight red. The only way it could be a straight red where it was, was if it was deemed as not a genuine attempt to play the ball (rugby tackle, shirt pull etc). And his tackle could be seen as borderline for that, in my opinion. A generous ref could say he was trying to get the ball. A less generous one; well, you get the picture. The point being, there's an element of uncertainty about it.

My bad. I thought the jeopardy rule only applied to goalkeepers but I appear to be wrong all round here!

That's not a part of Manchester that I recognise.

I'm pretty sure the buses are London, and the vans Met police.

He looks very, very good. The narrative is already being set that he was a steal, but it was a fair whack. However, looks the business.

Far from a steal,but like you say.....he's very good and definitely money well spent (for once!)
