You canWouldn't put much weight in his ability to assess a bad tackle if he doesn't know that Puncheon can't receive retrospective punishment after getting a yellow.

You can receive retrospective punishment even if you've already been punished for it? (Yellow card)You can
Yeah, but only in exceptional circumstances. Not sure if they've used it yet. Pretty certain it was introduced after that horrible Wigan winger broke some Newcastle player's leg a few years back and got away with a yellow.You can receive retrospective punishment even if you've already been punished for it?

i was expecting to see a far far worse version of Murphy's studs up challenge on Gundogan. horrible studs in challenge where the leg bends due to the sheer force and aggression, thats what the reaction led me to believe i was about to witness.After seeing the outrage on Twitter and in here I've just seen the challenge. Never a red. I actually can't believe the enormous over reaction.
Well holy crap that's news to me! Thanks for pointing it out for future reference, but surely seeing Alli almost break KdBs leg last week they'd use it then? I think it's just a new crappy law set out by the F.A that will rarely get used.Yeah, but only in exceptional circumstances. Not sure if they've used it yet.

Ridiculous. He is only doing it to injure de Bruyne, he has already passed the ball. It’s late, reckless, high and hard - again, only doing it injure him. Clear red card, just like Rooney against West Ham (?) a few years ago - because of the unecessart force. You are allowed to stop an attack with a cynical foul and get a yellow card, you do not have a free-pass to tackle as hard as you want.After seeing the outrage on Twitter and in here I've just seen the challenge.

Yeah pretty much. It will only get used when there's a bad enough challenge and the press decide that, as it wasn't committed by an English player, they'll whip up an outrage about it.Well holy crap that's news to me!

And it's no coincidence the challenge comes moments after his team miss a last second penalty. Clearly he was pissed off and took that out on de Bruyne.Ridiculous.

Exactly. I took a look at the thread on r/soccer and you'd swear Puncheon took a cleaver to De Bruyne's leg.Tackle isn't that bad...
£200k from City Football Group. £150k under the table in a UAE bank account tax free.That is such a standard tackle haha
Does anyone know how much new contract is for? Heard rumour 200k. If it is less than 350k a week he has the worst agent on the planet
The challenge in and of itself was bad but not a horror tackle. What was shocking though was how late it was.I must admit before I've seen it I thought it was studs up or something tackle. It was bad but not that bad as it was portrayed.
That was a hard take but if logic is to give cards to those who stop the counter then fernandinho should receive yellow card every game.Was a red for me. Tackles like that are utterly brainless and to stop the counter.. a foul half as powerful would have had the same effect of bringing him down. No need for that force or to aim for top of leg like that.
Probably an unpopular opinion but for me any "tackle" that amounts to a clearly deliberate act of fouling the player, with no intent at playing the ball, should always be a red.That was a hard take but if logic is to give cards to those who stop the counter then fernandinho should receive yellow card every game.
Some would regard it as dedication to win, not cheating. Imagine the bollocking a player would get off both the fans and the manager if not clipping opposition player who is leading a highly dangerous counter attack.Probably an unpopular opinion but for me any "tackle" that amounts to a clearly deliberate act of fouling the player, with no intent at playing the ball, should always be a red.
The sport would be better without allowing players a free pass to cheat to stop an attack.
Imo they wouldn't get a bollocking if people knew a straight red was in play.Some would regard it as dedication to win, not cheating. Imagine the bollocking a player would get off both the fans and the manager if not clipping opposition player who is leading a highly dangerous counter attack.
Straight red for them tackles would ruin the game in my opinion. It's gone soft enough as it is, the uproar over the tackle today is bad enough.Imo they wouldn't get a bollocking if people knew a straight red was in play.
I'm sure anyone who performs a professional foul or a tactical foul in a counter situation should always get a yellow. That tackle was needlessly reckless and endangered a fellow professional on top of that. That warrants a red in my book.That was a hard take but if logic is to give cards to those who stop the counter then fernandinho should receive yellow card every game.
