Can we feck VAR off now? It's a joke.
Aye it's unlucky as there was clearly no intent but the way it landed it's always a red, we'd be moaning if it wasn't given against usDon’t think we have much to complain about with this one. Hit him with studs above the ankle and nowhere near the ball.
He had possession of the ball, what are you talking about?
Seriously, if you guys think that wasn't a red then you straight up don't know the rules.I take it you haven’t seen the incident
Rashford isn't looking and moves his foot towards where it lands before the opposition player. Opposition player moves in under Rashford's leg already in motion. Never a red by other standards (Fabinho, Saka, Carroll, etc.). If it was Casemiro, it'd be a 5 match ban this time.Don’t think we have much to complain about with this one. Hit him with studs above the ankle and nowhere near the ball.
That was my first thought when seeing the Rashford red. They need to stop showing VAR in slow motion and still pictures, it gives a complete incorrect context of what actual happened in real time and makes a milisecond late challenge look a deliberate vindictive act.But Saka on Bruno in the Arsenal game wasn't even checked despite being at pace and deliberate
We can complain because a similar incident happens almost every game and they aren't picked up by VAR. Not every incident of contact should be a foul.Don’t think we have much to complain about with this one. Hit him with studs above the ankle and nowhere near the ball.
Can't lift your feet off the floor anymore or you're in danger of being sent off for endangering an opponent.So everyone who’s ever stepped across an opponent to protect the ball should be sent off if someone’s leg moves under them during that movement?
Educate me then, I'm open to being proven wrong.Seriously, if you guys think that wasn't a red then you straight up don't know the rules.
It just means red cards are a total lottery. Players have to plant their foot, if by random chance someone is in the wrong place then someone is getting sent off. Really there should have to be intent and not send players off just because it looks bad.That's unlucky but can't see how anyone could argue it's not a red. Don't need intent for it to be a red.
It was a joke then and it’s a joke now. You don’t need to ruin a game for those kind of incidents. It’s not something you can take out of the game by punishing it like a two footed tackle. When Rashford decides to plant his leg and protect the ball, the other players foot wasn’t there.Don't think he can argue. They've targeted those sorts. Remember awbs red a fee seasons ago in the CL. Anything on the ankle like that is a red in Europe
Agreed. If that's a red, you could place your ankle under the moving leg of an opponent in every challenge and provoke a red.Anyone who has ever played football knows that isn't a red. It's purely an accident
100% agree! Its not about intent here, or whether it looks worse in slow motion.That's unlucky but can't see how anyone could argue it's not a red. Don't need intent for it to be a red.
Aren’t we also the team with most penalties against in the CL?Aren’t we the team with the most red cards in the CL this season?
