Stupid challenge
Red card?
IMO clear yes, our luck has turned with referees.

Zlatan shoulder tackle

Not a red at all. Silly thread.
I'm just waiting for our luck to turn with your threads.
Nah, a yellow was fair.
It was daft but reckless more than malicious.

Why is this even a subject? Because of BT Sport?
Never ever a red card. Would never have been a thread on it if a WBA player did it..

Stupid, yes, very much so.
I didn't even consider it as a red at the point though, so a no to that from me.

Since when is a shoulder charge a red card?
Modric
Drama
In before the lock.
Oh I just saw who made the thread, figures
Foul on Lingard in the box
Penalty?
IMO clear yes, our luck hasn't turned with referees.

He could have killed him.
fecksake
not even a foul
Not worthy of a red card at all.
In real time I thought it was a red. When I saw it again it was just a tough challenge. Yellow was probably right.
I honestly thought it was a clear red, could have knocked him out
We should sign Luka Modric before one of the Spanish giants swoop in.....
Looked a red one first viewing, thought he'd led with elbow. On second (and third) viewing a booking was sufficient.
No idea why he did it either way.

Clean tackle. Should have played on.
Wait, didn't you think Rojos challenge at the weekend wasn't a red card?
Anyway, it was needless, but it wasn't red.

Should be locked?

West Brom player should've been booked for simulation
"Excessive force" as quoted with Rojos challenge vs Everton, which Rojos was criticised for...But saw Zlatan being praised for his tackle in the match day thread, makes no sense
Nothing in it
Not a red card. But a definite yellow. He was going for it
Some people want a peno for Lingard yet don't think the Zlatan challenge was a red
Did Howard Webb say it was a red on BT?
I see BT tactic of creating talking points from trivial incidents is working a treat
Yeah, two feet off the ground vs a shoulder barge, totally comparable.
Delfouneso would have done the same.
This.
Strange thread by the guy who was defending Rojo. I am sure he would have praised Modric if he made that tackle.
No.
Agree. A ridiculous thread. Not worthy of debate.
Deserved yellow. Excessive force and quite unsportsmanlike but not violent enough to warrant a red card.
