Martinez heard all the people fawning over Onana and wanted to prove he can play sweeper too... he failed

I'm so bored of commentators talking about the injury time thing already

I would book the Newcastle players for complaining about the Martinez challenge there to the referee.

It's so annoying when players do that they are not blind he was clearly not the last man and there were defenders back so it's never a red card.

Yes. Agree. Will add: Forest needs a better keeper, home kit is the same(ish), Arsenal
might need a left back, we can help them there. Kit, almost there.. It is 85% Red. More than enough. Spurs need a striker, let's give them a helping hand. Our third kit is their home one. Easy peasy.
I see no flaws in this logic.

Botman did get booked for it.

Villa getting over run in midfield and they were lost inside 25 minutes regarding inside runs from midfield, lots of ball watching.

Physical match, both teams kicking the shit out of each other in between some nice play. Much more open than I thought, but makes for a good neutral watch.

So this year the PL refs won't even pretend to apply the new rules for even one gameweek, except for the added time one.

Of course, that is until we play and another Andre Mariner waster decides to make a name for themselves.

There's nothing in the rules about being the last man. The rule is you get a red if you deny an opponent an obvious goalscoring opportunity. Almiron had an empty goal.

Yeah, kicking the ball away to slow down the restart, but at least the ball kids threw another ball onto the pitch to restart quickly.

Redknapp just said it’s not a sending off cause Almirons left footed and it was on his right so he still had a lot to do

It wasn't DOGSO as he wasn't the last man. There was still a defender between the player and the goal.
Again, that's not a rule. Of course it can be an obvious goalscoring opportunity without it being the last man.

He was nowhere near the goal though so still not a red and it's not an obvious goalscoring opportunity with so many defenders between him and the goal

Saying that it is clearly not a red card i would fully expect Onana to be sent off in that situation

If it had been a Newcastle player, everyone in here would be saying it was a red.

Isak would have been a United player if we needed a striker last year or if he was still at Sociedad this summer. Shame.

And Villa fans wonder why we don’t take them seriously when they want Konsa and Mings in the England squad :lol:

Good finish that, tidy player Isak. Toon are unlikable in the main these days, but I do enjoy watching him.
