I don't think that should be a red at all, don't know if it's the rules but it's stupid. It's not a headbutt it's two guys squaring up to each other, that's it.
Richarlison | Tottenham watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It’s two guys squaring up to each other until Richarlison flicks his head.
I don’t understand why you conveniently leave that part out?
He’s not been red carded for squaring up to someone.He’s been red carded for attempting to strike another player. In the eyes of the law it’s a red card.
I think that's the point. He flicks his head - who cares. It's a nothing movement, it means nothing. "He flicked his head at mine officer". "feck off and stop wasting our time son".
It’s a movement of his head towards an opponents in front of the referees face. Not a police officer. And for the record I think there’s a strong chance a police officer would have something to say to you if he saw that on the street.
I don’t disagree that the act itself is silly and unlikely to cause much harm.
But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a red card. The fact is he moved his head into his opponents With intent.
Question.
Does anyone who thinks this isn’t a red card think that it will get overturned on appeal?

It can be 50/50 and a none incident, have you ever heard the phrase six of one, half a dozen of the other? It should have been a none incident, two players square up, one pushes forward which I'm sorry but its not an attempted strike if you watch it. Then the ref gives a joke red card, its embarrassing for everyone involved.
Smith knew exactly what he was doing which is why I said in my first post Bournemouth have a history of this kind of thing.
If you say Smith doesn't try to touch Richarlison then you're dead wrong though.
Do you think Everton will appeal? And if they do, do you think it will get overturned?
I honestly have no idea, do they still extend the ban if the appeal fails?
I think it’s discretionary... do you think they would overturn the decision?
I don't really know, because for everyone who is like me and thinks it shouldn't be a red card, there are plenty of others who think it would, so it just depends on the opinions of whoever deals with the appeals. They could even just stick up for the ref because they get a lot of stick as it is.
I think frivolous bans where for when someone tried to appeal just so that they could play the next game as the appeal would only be heard the next week.
Appeals happen before the next game now .
That sounds to me like an agreement to disagree
It wasn't that obvious to me, because the matter of it being a red card or not was the discussion. Some people pointing out that the rules state it's a red. So to say those people "have horrible opinions" and call them rats when just relating info about the game was the confusing part.
The current state of the game today is a different discussion, and I don't think anyone is arguing that the incident wasn't ridiculous in its nature. Most if not all hate seeing shit like that and I know I do. That doesn't mean the ref made a bad decision though, he's just doing his job.
Drogba got a red card with the softest slap/flick I've seen. It was in CL Final.
Beckhams red in the World Cup was hardly assault
Right. So, it wasn't just "the state of the game today". It happened since decades ago.
Now that's a headbutt
Always a red card. Perhaps it shouldn't be but it is. It's like a yellow card for undressing on the pitch, everyone knows it's a booking but the morons still do it.
He's a fecking idiot.

I really hate when players do that. What's the point? You know fully well that you're not getting into a fight and will get sent off for the slightest touch.
That was my point exactly.
That’s the good thing about facts and rules though, so we don’t have to concider what people think about stuff. Screw Richarlison, brought him into my Fantasy-team on Friday
It's pointless and stupid.
Obvious red card. Anyone saying it wasn't a red card mustn't have watched referees since the 1980's.
Good player with big potential. He's only just 21!
Great business by Everton for £30m in this crazy market. Bonus's bring it to £50m but I'm of the opinion if the bonuses in these contracts are met the player is well and truly worth the renewed sum.

He’ll be off to Madrid or Barca in 2-3 years
Nah, he doesn't look that consistent to me. Definitely talented, but he stills needs to do it regularly, and improve his decisions, before a bigger club can cash in. Everton is a good place to grow, though.
There’s a world class player in there. He’s very raw but he has everything in him to play for any team in the world. Will step up from Everton within the next 2 seasons for sure, great player.
Two good finishes today.
He read the thread 'going around the keeper'
That quick touch to hit the ball past the defender was very clever.
His first goal was delightful. Strong finish for such a seemingly light touch.
My type of attacker
Big, two footed, works his bollocks off, and can play across the front three.
Growing into that no.9 role. Big fan.
That second goal was a beautiful thing to watch.
Everton paid £50m for him. How much do you think they'll want in 2 years?
He's my FPL star.
Swap for Lukaku
Fellaini hopefully
If he improves further and the market continues like the last years, double that of course
