Exactly what I'm thinking too.When "something" happens, I always picture the same thing happening to a team or player I dislike - that combined with the real situation often gives you a fair assessment. Previous offenses of course does not matter one single thing. This case is quite clear and I am amazed he has not gotten a ban for it, especially as everyone is afraid of getting the media/managers on their necks given it's Man Utd involved. Imagine this happening to someone we don't like, for example Firmino, Arnautovic or Alli.
He clearly kicks out twice, perhaps they are lenient because he doesn't actually connect - this is the one and only time we are happy Lukaku (once again) can't find the target. Those kicks are as badly placed as his chance in the first half when he blasts it wide from a good position.
Never mind Everton/WBA strikers. I'm willing to bet it's an average return for strikers at any of the best clubs in the league too. Whenever Lukaku is getting slagged off for his inability to score in big games nobody ever posts some stats from other PL striker who he should be aspiring to equal. I suspect this is because all strikers find it hard to score against the best teams in the league. Who'd have thunk it?Is this not an average return for a West Brom/Everton striker?
This. Was a beautiful tackle.He slides in - without his studs showing and - wins the ball, clean as you like. The only bone of contention the Brighton player can have is that Lindelof's trailing leg could have been lower. Would have been a very harsh to call it a foul, though, never mind a booking. All of which explains why the referee - who had been otherwise fussy - let play continue.
Most often, when someone gives someone a snide kick off the ball, they'll get a yellow... unless its properly malicious or something.Kicking out at someone, where the ball isn't, does not warrant a red card? FFS, this is football not UFC, learn the rules mate.
Whereas I don't think he's such a bad shot that he'd miss Bong from that distance. So for once I'm with the FA and Gallagher - petulant, not violent.Not sure you can honestly watch the clip and say he is not trying to kick out at Bong? Unless there was an invisible ball behind him that he is trying to back heel, what is he doing in your opinion?
With a name like Bong it's no surprise that he's just a mellow guy.I'm surprised Bong didn't make anything of it, players complain about the smallest things these days. Thank god Lukaku didn't get a ban. Good man, this Bong fella.
ahh yes. Been ages since I watched the Simpsons.Fixed that for you.
Fair enough, I suppose what is a petulant childish act or an act of violence become unclear on a sport field.Whereas I don't think he's such a bad shot that he'd miss Bong from that distance. So for once I'm with the FA and Gallagher - petulant, not violent.
A violent action on the football pitch would be one that puts your opponent at risk of injury. Which was obviously never the case here.Fair enough, I suppose what is a petulant childish act or an act of violence become unclear on a sport field.
In my eyes, tripping someone up with petulant. Trying to kick someone with your heel is violence?
If that's the definition then I'd agree, it was very unlikely to case injury. It's a bit of a fine line though.A violent action on the football pitch would be one that puts your opponent at risk of injury. Which was obviously never the case here.
It's only a kick in the bollocks, obviously no risk of injury.If that's the definition then I'd agree, it was very unlikely to case injury. It's a bit of a fine line though.
I don’t think there is a definition tbf. I just think common sense prevailed. It’s not like anyone was ever at risk of being concussed, or even being injured badly enough to miss a game. So it seems silly to consider it “violent”If that's the definition then I'd agree, it was very unlikely to case injury. It's a bit of a fine line though.
Cannot, for the life of me, understand how a professional footballer doesn't know that a 2 footed lunge isn't a legal tackle...?!?!And I'm someone who was genuinely furious at Rojo's two footed lunges last season (if anyone remembers 'em), truly awful behaviour.
I'm shocked people with working eyes can say any differently. Great tackle.This. Was a beautiful tackle.

Lindelof's was a great, great challenge.
What karate movies have you been watching?Two game retroactive ban for falling down and brutally hurting the ground. Nothing for trying to karate kick opponent twice. Sums up the EPL approach.
Yet the FA seem to agree, so not exactly a wild viewThese are the comments I come in to this forum to read.

Typical Manchester bias at the FA. City fought tooth and nail to make sure Lukaku was available for their game.Yet the FA seem to agree, so not exactly a wild view
Yep, and the unintelligent shite pisse me off as well. Lukaku's link up play is pretty good when everyone around him is awake which hasn't happened in a few months.Never mind Everton/WBA strikers. I'm willing to bet it's an average return for strikers at any of the best clubs in the league too. Whenever Lukaku is getting slagged off for his inability to score in big games nobody ever posts some stats from other PL striker who he should be aspiring to equal.

Karate kick? Such a drama queen post.Two game retroactive ban for falling down and brutally hurting the ground. Nothing for trying to karate kick opponent twice. Sums up the EPL approach.
Sums up Liverpool fan.Two game retroactive ban for falling down and brutally hurting the ground. Nothing for trying to karate kick opponent twice. Sums up the EPL approach.
