Red for Layun. Book Neymar if you like, but I'd rather not see players booked for someone standing on their ankles with studs.

Don't see a red, it's not violent, it's not retaliation and it's not reckless. It's a yellow because it's cynical. Dinho on now, Layun would want to keep away from him as it's the kind of shithouse behaviour that you'll target an opposition player over.

This.

As I said, if someone like Fellaini did the same thing to Kev or Sergio, we would be screaming bloody murder. Because it is Neymar (which I dislike, too, by the way), it’s fair game for some reason.

All the time this kind of nasty shit gets excused because of some macho bullshit.

If someone did that to me I'd kick their fucking face in, but I'm not supposed to take the law into my own hands as the officials are supposed to sort it.

We'd be screaming from bias because they're City players.

It has to be some kind of call on that step even if Neymar did his usual histrionics. You can't just let players step on someone on the ground intentionally.

This Lozano kid really looks the real deal. Buying off WC performance is always dangerous but if Mahrez deal really is difficult I'd love to see us back in for this kid.

I know what you mean.
Even though Brazil have got 4 of our boys in the squad , Neymar puts me off them , he’s a soft , posing twat , who doesn’t need to be.
Good player , but wouldn’t want him anywhere near my club.

Don't get me wrong, I loved them when they had; Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu etc...

When they knocked England out in 2002, it was easy to get behind them, can't stand what they've become though.

Neymar is such an over-dramatic mard arse, referees need to be stronger with regard to his antics.

Perhaps that is the reasonable medium.

It should have been a card, though, as if you allow that sort of thing, the game breaks down pretty quickly.
