Agree. It's fine being a bit more lenient with tackles in derbys and big games, but letting every tactical foul go unpunished ruins the game as you say. A few early yellows for Arsenal would probably have made the game a lot more interesting.

Hopefully we have the woodward-special so we can sack him without/for less compensation when we fail to get CL. It's criminal that we have to resort to hoof and inshallah against fecking Brentford. And that he still hasn't figured out that we are completely open in midfield. It's like he's...

Nah it's just the rape threat and abuse, otherwise he's a lovely bloke.

The Mac Allister one is a nothing challenge. But the Gomez one is obviously reckless, flying in with that kind of force into someone's head is clearly endangering the safety of an opponent. He has zero control over the challenge. Leading with a straight leg just makes it even worse.

Since he namedropped McT as always giving 7-8/10 performances, always being up for pre-match stuff etc. If he would have demanded to be subbed in Ole's last game I doubt Ole would have such a good perception of him to be honest. It feels more like throwing Rashford under the bus but being too...

Just looked up who was taken off at half time, Rashford and McTominay. McTominay makes sense since it was for VdB and we needed goals but Rashford threw in the towel by the sound of it. He was obviously also one of those that refused to do pre-match interviews and very likely the one who refused...

Takes a while to come up with a joke like that.

I think it says more about the mentality/mindset of some players that they don't want to be captain for certain games, probably because they are worried about what would be said in social media. I don't mean this in the sense that they are weak but more that they are focusing on the wrong...

Did you even watch it? He says later in the video that if he did would not sign him if he could change something, because with hindsight it was the wrong decision both for Ole/United and Ronaldo. The hatred for Ole on this sub is fecking weird. Really enjoyed watching it! A lot of interesting...

1. I have and Clyne does minimize the contact. 2. Again, you don't know the rules :confused: It does not have to be excessive force for it to be deemed a red card offence. 3. Does not matter since he is deemed to be endangering the safety of an opponent. Just answer the question, what would...

I agree with you. It's a major issue that it's zero consistency. Makes it difficult for the players and also creates discussion when fans and pundits don't know/understand the rules.

Because that's how the referee's judge the situation. It's not judged based on the outcome of the tackle. You should probably learn the rules :confused:

That's why I asked if it was very little force in the tackle, so was it? What would happen if DCL's straight legged shin-high tackle hits a planted leg? (Which only doesn't happen because Clyne minimizes the contact in the last second)

Was it very little force in the tackle? I have only seen a replay of the VAR call in slow-motion and it looks a clear red. Clyne pulls out of the tackle which is the only reason DCL hasn't caught him more. He's not in control of the tackle and is endangering another player. Potential leg-breaker...

I don't want Greenwood back but this thread is ridiculous. It's constantly derailed by mods trolling and baiting with one-liners and then banning/giving warnings to people that actually wants to discuss Greenwood's football.
