I'm assuming Ramires will get a ban for kicking out at Jones' head, too then?
Rafael's red card
- Thread starter Cina
- Start date
Don't think it was a red but that lines woman seemed a bit anal telling rvp to be 'careful' 'careful' careful'....I think she probably had a word in webbs ear.
I think in that case a bit of common sense goes a long way, but no ones got any. A relatively clean game, a booking would have sufficed.

Yup. I still can't understand the upside of not trying to win this game. I'm really annoyed by this.
Had to go, needs to mature a lot more.
ive seen kicks like that end up with only a yellow all the time. I think the fact that it happened right in front of the officials made a difference.
Clear red.
Red card but Luiz laughing is poor. Wonder what Laurel and Hardy will say.
Clear red. Thought Rafael had grown out of that, but I guess not.
We already know Luiz is a shithead.

Might have had something to do with the atmosphere too. It was getting aggressive and nasty out there. I suppose webb had to make a point.
A little patrick vieira action there.
Such a stupid thing to do. Luiz is a prick but Rafael has gone the entire season being level-headed and cool then he goes and does that.
Pointless and pathetic, just like the entire team today.

Missed the game due to no streams working. Does anyone have a gif of the incident?
Deserved red probably. I wonder if Luiz's laugh will get him off the hook with an appeal though.
It was a clear red. A moment of madness from Rafeal but it's easy to forgive the nutter. One of the very few today who looked like they gave a damn.
The point being if you needlessly kick out at somebody a second after the ball has been played you'll get a justified red card?
And that's exactly why it was a stupid thing to do.
That's actually a red card for Luiz for me as well, the forearm smash preceding it.
Silly thing to do but can understand his frustration.Not many of the others seemed that bothered we were going to lose today.Love the guy's desire.
After watching that again, I can't blame Rafael for kicking him.
Still petulant. Should have held his temper. Fergie will be disappointed because he is supposed to have learnt his lesson after the bayern match.
I think that it was a red card. Shame cause he will miss the community shield against Wigan next season, but it was a justified sending off. Stupid by him.
No. He will play in the community shield.
Never a red card. Yellow at best!
It was Torres she was telling to be careful
Looking at the replays I think Luiz should definitely be disciplined for that as well. Twice he leads with his elbow, then that pathetic reaction.
"be careful.. If you keep walking towards RvP you will bump into him"
Bloody hell, talk about the 'he started it' line of defense
Eh? I said Rafael fully deserved the red.
Red for not doing the job properly
He probably should have been on a yellow for a blatant dive that Webb bought anyway.
Glad he did what he did. It means one of Jones or Valencia will be at right back now and we don't get to see either in midfield/wing.
damm Rafael.
Last 5mins has a nice clean sheet and 6 fantasy points in the bag, then we suddenly concede, and then he lashes out.
-1
damm sake.
Should have wiped out Luiz. 3matches for that is a joke.

Seriously, the only thing worse than violent conduct is crap violent conduct. If you're gonna get sent off at least fecking earn it.
It is a three match ban. Doesn't Community Shield count? If that is the case he will play in CS but will miss the first game in the league. I don't know exactly how the rules are.
Community Shield is a pre-season fixture so it doesn't count as a competitive game.
Read this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ovic-serve-ban-red-card-Community-Shield.html
Ivanovic escaped a three-game ban for a red card he got in the Community Shield because of that ruling. I think that is daft really, and Community Shield should count as a competitive game.
Good lad, fecking wish we had more players like that, it was embarrassing to see our right back trying to drive us forward at the end.
Didn't know that. Cheers Damo!
At the ground I didn't think it was a red, Webb to my mind built up anger after being harangued all second half by the players and Rafa paid for it.
Barely touched him. Ridiculous how you can be sent off for such a petty incident.
