tom_avfc Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 How is anybody watching that and saying he’s unlucky to be sent off?! It’s as clear a red card as you’re likely to see and it’s the kind of challenge that has potential to seriously injure an opponent. Yes he kicked the ball but he could easily have broken Jesus’ leg there. Peter Walton saying that that wouldn’t be overturned should be enough for them to get rid of him. One look at that challenge is enough to tell you he has to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Peter Walton is a **** shambles of a man. He's paid to go on TV and support whatever the ref does, even when they change their mind. He's got no shame. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly they seem to be mostly Utd fans, but still... I thought they’d argue that it was a follow through from playing the ball and ‘caught’ him, which it seemed like Peter Walton was saying. Definitely a red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) In that case for me getting something on the ball is an irrelevance. It was high, studs up, straight onto the middle of the players leg. You're always going to go clean through the ball and have a very good chance of breaking someone's leg David Busst style. The ball is irrelevant, it's serious foul play. Edited April 10, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That's a red card but as we've seen twice this season it's inconsistent A lot of people still think that touching the ball somehow makes that tackle ok "won the ball" is utter bollocks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was enough Internet for that day I think people tend to forget that dangerous play is a red card as it's much easier to make a partisan point by relying on specific infractions written into the rules and millimetres of contact either way with the ball/player. Watching that challenge in full speed made me wince, which is generally a good indicator it wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm laughing at the fact you've waited for them to play 31 games desperate to make this point and you still aren't smart enough to wait for the game to end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2021 If City bring on De Bruyne, Foden and Gundogan all at the same time, which they might be about to do, would that be the most valuable substitution in football history? I reckon that's bringing on more than £300m worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's where making assumptions gets you. I didn't say it 31 games ago. I said it a few games ago when people were talking about what poor form they're in, and how we were looking relatively comfortable ahead of them and Arsenal.
