nice ending to that post.
Even funnier that it's the only thing wrong in that post!
Sometimes truth is harsh. No need to make it any less

The difference is, Mourinho demands his CBs to be tactically disciplined. And Rojo is anything but that. In my 20+ years of watching United, I've not seen a specialist defender so woefully out of position so often. Rojo plays like a naive, all-action meathead that puts in maximum effort but flatters to deceive. Shite player for a top club. Sell.Won't be surprised with him staying and at least 35 combined apps over the four competitions. Mou loves these temperamental, hard nosed defenders. Could see the 2 starting CB spots be a toss up between Smalling, him, and Bailly, with Mike having a small advantage.
Never a redGot sent off for this
Can't really tell if that's worth a red, but it looks like the sort of challenge Rojo would put in. His tackling style could do with a little bit of refining, he always manages to make challenges look worse then they actually are. Still, pretty feckin' harsh on the bloke...
EDIT:
No it's not, but his tackling style just makes it look worse then it actually is.Never a red
Well i agree with you. He can't tackle for shit, but that foul was a yellow card worthy and nothing more.No it's not, but his tackling style just makes it look worse then it actually is.
I do think the way he tackles in general is pretty poor ... pretty sure I've seen him go in two feet on more then one occassion (not high, just with two feet) which to me is always an indicator that a player might not have great technique in the tackle.
No, that's how fans and the odd pundit interpreted it but it was never a law. It's never been an automatic foul let alone a red.I don't know if that's still the case but tackles from behind that a player can't see coming used to be red cards all the time.
That being said it actually looks like he isn't even fully hitting Vidal and he goes down way before there is even any contact.
You are probably right but I somehow remember that a few years back at least in the Bundesliga tackles from behind were a hot topic and always got called as a foul if you only somehow touched the opposition player. The argument was that tackles from behind carry an increased injury risk and are therefor to be punished as dangerous play and I can remember quite a few situation where a foul not hard or anything special but from behind was punished with a straight red card. Haven't seen that in a while though.No, that's how fans and the odd pundit interpreted it but it was never a law. It's never been an automatic foul let alone a red.
A tackle has always been a tackle = get the ball and it's not a foul.
Giggs used to tackle people from behind all the time. The super fluid slide, wrap his leg, win the ball and stand up in one motion thing.
There's such a thing as 'tackling with excessive force' where you can technically get the ball first, but only because you've clearly been willing to hit the player as a side effect. That's normally blown up for or card worthy.
Vidal indeed seems to go down before there is any contact at all and in the end there doesn't seem to be any and Rojo gets the ball as well, pretty weird to give a red for this. Maybe the ref felt the need to balance out the game again. I hate decisions like that when refs try to correct earlier bad, in their eyes, decisions with another bad decision. That just makes anything worse. You can't correct a precieved mistake through making an intentional wrong decision. Or maybe he is just shit and gave in to the pressure of the players surrounding him.Is it just me or is there no contact there? He also gets the ball. Vidal's leg buckling under him is hardly Rojo's fault.
