TheMightyVillans Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) harsh red... his foot rolls over the ball causing him to go into the player. He would have lost control of his foot when he connected with the ball. Edited September 30, 2023 by TheMightyVillans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I think that’s harsh - but we live in a football world where people want red cards for studs showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) You are responsible for your body and where it ends up Gary Neville obsessed with motive, nothing to do with it. Edited September 30, 2023 by Mr_Dogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Don't care. It's a decision against Liverpool and therefore Im fine with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to look at force and intent - it has neither for me. But, as you say, that’s football now. It’s shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Maybe I don't know the game but you can't go over top of the ball while making a tackle. That's why the rule exist. Same rule for the Chelsea red. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Looked like a red card to me (and it’s against a Liverpool player so awesome decision!) Edited September 30, 2023 by theboyangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2023 Absolutely obvious red card that. Neville claiming his foot slipped off the top of the ball - that's a foot that's eight inches off the ground and flying then Gary eh? If his foot comes through the middle of the ball and he catches him on the follow through then fair enough, but at the height he's come in at it's a blatant red - the ball didn't duck out of the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Put it like this if a Villa player had his leg broke from a tackle like that I would be livid. Could care less about "intent." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the modern game that's a red more often than not. Difference (for me) is that Gusto jumps in with… well, gusto. There’s force behind it so it’s a genuinely dangerous challenge even though he “gets the ball”. This one is a foot in that slips over the ball. There’s no force or intent. But as @StefanAVFC says, this is what the football world wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Not sure force is relevant either. He absolutely wasn't in control of his body, and the end result was a straight leg, studs up tackle on another player's shin. It's a red all day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 If you are out of control in the tackle these days then it is a red. Same thing happened last night for the villa u21s. Our rightback had too much force and was deemed out of control and a straight red. Same thing happened to the Chelsea player on Sunday. If it reduces the risk of serious injury then i am all for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
