Gifs just make one love and appreciate Paul Scholes even more.
fecking idiot!!
ThisIt would make a great 'deal with it' gif
Would be even funnier if they came down from above.
Anyone got a gif of the Van Persie tackle?
Lol I was half asleep and it took me a good 50 minutes to even get that far. I'll work on it today if I have time. Don't really understand how the animating part in photoshop works. All I did is copy and paste that over the last 14 frames so it stayed there...Would be even funnier if they came down from above.

Nice one ghaliboy.
Bang on, and Suarez arches his back so Ferdinand's jump is impeded. He's an odious little cnut.Isn't that by letter of the law a foul on Ferdinand as he's backing into him?
Couldn't understand that one either. A few theatrical rubs of the head afterward even though he doesn't even touch his head.
ah Robin xxxx
we know what you are, we know what you are
Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there. Seen red cards given for that before...
Oh come on, he can't take it off for a second and literally just use one foot. The second foot was bent at a 90 degree angle for feck sake. Not even a free kick, never mind a yellow or red. Why are we even discussing it?Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there.

Same argument could then be made for Shelvey. From the above gif all of RVPs weight is behind a tackle that he jumped in on. Dangerous play and a yellow for me.Ok fine, maybe it was a free kick but he did get the ball.
Some people are selectively blind. It happens on Arsenal forums too, to be fair. The ref got the RVP one right. A red would have been harsh - I don't know why I say that because it's not based on any intrinsic knowledge of how the rules are interpreted these days, but a yellow felt right.Not even a freekick? I sometimes wonder if the gifs I see on my screen differ to other forum members. He didn't even win the ball, as soon as he got up he apologised to the ref as he let play go on.
Never a red card, barely a yellow.Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there. Seen red cards given for that before...
What? The second foot has to come with the rest of the body at some point.Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there. Seen red cards given for that before...
Jesus, Jazz. It wasn't "almost" 2-footed and "almost 2-footed" is a fairly worthless statement anyway. Signed off with the equally worthless "Seen them given" as well.Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there.

RvP should have left his trailing leg on the half way line with both sets of studs.What? The second foot has to come with the rest of the body at some point.
I don't think you have. I mean, it's probably an intentional arbitary statement, but I'd bet that, in a top-level football game, you haven't seen red cards given for that type of challenge before... and if you have then I can't imagine it was one that the majority of people/pundits said wasn't a sending off.Almost two footed there, goes in with one initially and the second foot comes through albeit not making contact, foot off the ground there.

Thank you for your valuable input on this discussion, you've countered by worthless statement with a worthless post yourself....Jesus, Jazz. It wasn't "almost" 2-footed and "almost 2-footed" is a fairly worthless statement anyway. Signed off with the equally worthless "Seen them given" as well.
At no point did I say it was a sending off and with all due respect who exactly are you to say "I don't think you have", making that assumption would mean you've seen every single football match I have and I somehow doubt that is the case.I don't think you have.

Regardless, it's not a sending off. It's a one footed challenge that is slightly late for the ball, and it is not over the top/high either. The force of the challenge, plus the fact that he momentarily left the ground meant a yellow card was probably a fair call.
Well then why say it? If you don't think it warranted a red card, to put in the sentence "I've seen red cards given for that before" is very odd. Whether it was your intention or not, you were clearly implying that RVP could have seen red for that tackle, which is nonsense.At no point did I say it was a sending off and with all due respect who exactly are you to say "I don't think you have", making that assumption would mean you've seen every single football match I have and I somehow doubt that is the case.
