Thankfully no serious injury
Until it happens to an Arsenal player and it becomes a never-ending witchuntExactly, maybe spit out your tea and harrumph. Tackles happen, he got a card, move on.
"Well his foot wasn't hanging off his leg so it doesn't look too bad"I probably worded it wrong. I meant that for a tackle that looks that bad, it could have been a career ending one so although he's injured, it could have been so much worse
How does that make ANY senseLooks worse than it was. But definitely a red.
No you're doing it wrong. Questions must be asked in Parliament. What will the children think?I don't think there was malicious intent.. Just think its a very bad mistimed challenge... Definite red all the same
Barely a redHe was trying to get a block, no intent to injure. Wasn't even looking at the player. The stop motion image doesn't say it all, Aubas motion was that of a block not of a lunge. The way that contact was made was more due to misfortune than planning. It's barely a red. Certainly not worth making a fuss about.
How can you say it's barely a red? It's irrelevant whether he tried to do it or not, it's a blatant red.He was trying to get a block, no intent to injure. Wasn't even looking at the player.

Seconded. Doesn’t seem like he wanted to go for the ankle especially in that manner. Fair Red. Good use of VAR. Nothing to warrant a thread really.It was a bad tackle and he got a deserved red. VAR did its job. Not sure there is much else to say to warrant a thread on it.
I agree its a red, but with the chatter you'd think that its a two footed uncontrolled lunge. Its just a red, nothing more. He goes to make a block, and makes contact with the palace player who's shifted the ball. A strikers challenge, if you will.How can you say it's barely a red? It's irrelevant whether he tried to do it or not, it's a blatant red.
Foot Mob app describes it as "he stuck out a leg and caught him on the ankle"Looks worse than it was. But definitely a red.
Don't count on ever getting out of the newbie stable with this sort of nonsenseBarely a yellow. It was just unfortunate.
I gave him a like. It was a good post.Don't count on ever getting out of the newbie stable with this sort of nonsense
Course is a red. Intentional or otherwise it's reckless and dangerous. Brush up on the rules of the game son.He was trying to get a block, no intent to injure. Wasn't even looking at the player.

Tackle or challenge that endangers the safety etc etc.Course is a red. Intentional or otherwise it's reckless and dangerous. Brush up on the rules of the game son.
Would you like to have the refs mic'd up like me?Tackle or challenge that endangers the safety etc etc.
Just to say that it doesn't need to be deemed intentional or careless but there was nothing in it that indicated any malice or intent and the players weren't unique in trying to keep their player - Aubameyang - on the pitch, it happens most weeks with most teams and it shouldn't. Anyone arguing with the ref should imo get a yellow card and so on. The captain should if anyone be the only one to approach a ref.
Personally I think it would be good for referees to be able to show the pressure they are under during a top flight game, warts and all, but I don't think it should be done just to entertain the fans, the game should entertain the fans otherwise it's the slippery slope to 4 quarters and marching bands and gospel singers.Would you like to have the refs mic'd up like me?
I've been saying we need it for ages purely for transparency for VAR and their decision making. That said it would reveal what happens on the pitch too so for me its win win.Personally I think it would be good for referees to be able to show the pressure they are under during a top flight game, warts and all, but I don't think it should be done just to entertain the fans, the game should entertain the fans otherwise it's the slippery slope to 4 quarters and marching bands and gospel singers.
Gentleman's games. The behaviour and etiquette actually exists in Rugby Union and Cricket. Who cares what Refs want anyway?I've been saying we need it for ages purely for transparency for VAR and their decision making. That said it would reveal what happens on the pitch too so for me its win win.
Rugby and cricket use it. The PL needs to catch up.
Arsenal fan for sure.Foot Mob app describes it as "he stuck out a leg and caught him on the ankle"
Talk about underplaying it!
I'm not sure why the phrase "clear and obvious" keeps getting used in relation to VAR, as it's pretty it hasn't needed to be that since the start.Arsenal fan for sure.
One of my Arsenal friends:
"I wouldn't dispute the red card if it was given in real time but I didn't think it was a 'clear and obvious error' to give a yellow. It was high but there wasn't much force behind it, hs back foot is still on the ground.
Replay makes it look worse. The fact that he connected high and Mayer got up and walked shows it wasn't forceful enough to break a leg. In real time I thought yellow was harsh"
It's just the mental gymnastics people use to defend their point of view; the same thing happens with people defending José/Ole or castigating RashfordI'm not sure why the phrase "clear and obvious" keeps getting used in relation to VAR, as it's pretty it hasn't needed to be that since the start.
All goals are reviewed, and offside doesn't have to be "Obvious", hence these millimetre decisions, and the bods in the office decide if it'll be a red card review, irrespective of what the ref decides.
Horror tackle that, he's left it on him and some more as well.
Maybe when the thread has run its course it can morph into a wider '2020 horror tackles' and we can add them all over the season and vote for the worst one.I didn't say you have to do something about it. You just mentioned there is no point in making a thread about it, I beg to differ, we've had multiple of those when a player makes a horrific tackle.
