Zhan_Zhuang Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Idiotic thing to do when potentially there was still plenty of time left in the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he was trying inject a bit of bite into the game and our team/fans but that was poorly timed and reckless. I hope he gets a bollocking because he has no-one to blame but himself. The thing is he did a perfectly good 'hard' challenge just before on the other wing. Perfectly safe, strong and got the point across. He just pushed the envelope way too far the next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I'd trade that red for another 4 Spurs goals if it meant we'd have him for the next 3 games. Absolutely f***ing stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Stunned at the amount saying definite red. Stunned. It's barely even borderline red. Today there's been 3 worse challenges in the other games and none were a red. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Clear red card. The actual “danger” is more like a yellow probably, but because it’s so obviously intended to hurt and not win the ball, the ref had to show the red. It’s violent conduct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Reckless, absolutely. But from this angle, McGinn is going for the ball not the man. Udogie's touch takes it away from him, but McGinn has already over committed at pace to the attempted challenge. Unai is right to say there was no malice intended. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's taxkling from the wrong side It's impossible for him not to take the man, even if mcginn touches the ball he is taking the man That's why it's a red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Just seen it back. It’s cynical but it is a trip. Let’s see if this kind of challenge is ever given a red again. It never has been and it never will be again. Should be appealed. Edited March 10 by Vive_La_Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Seen far worse tackles only given yellow cards but I have no issue with a tackle like that resulting in a red. Apart from that it sucks for us of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - he knew the man had beaten him. He was going for a tactical yellow all day long. It looked worse than he intended but he has no intent to win the ball.

DJBOB Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It’s a red. Would be furious if it weren’t given the other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a trip though, it's a kick, nowhere near the ball so how can it be anything other than to injure the player? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today there's been 3 worse challenges in the other games and none were a red. I agree. As I said before though, I think both can be true: 1. It wasn't a clear and obvious red - have seen those only given as yellows 2. McGinn was still incredibly stupid to go in like that knowing that it ran the risk of a red. There was absolutely no tactical need for it at all Literally the only silver lining in this is that McGinn gets a nice rest and should be fresh for the final run-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
