It is borderline red no doubt about it. Anyone who believes it's a red I can understand where they are coming from, it's the higher bracket of dangerous.
Zlatan shoulder tackle
- Thread starter Scholesy
- Start date
lol, he's not out of it. He is rattled, and he's hoping the referee will think it's worse than it is.
I do disagree with those saying Brunt's was worse. Zlatan's was worse. But it wasn't a red.
That was premeditated and very rough, that's why I think it was. Agree to disagree (with you being wrong
).Zlatan is not a nasty player.
Yellow is fair
Yellow is fair
It was a bit nasty, not too over the top though. Was one of those challenges that was somewhere between a yellow and a red, if it had been later in the game, he might have been sent off.

I'll have some of the stuff that you're smoking. Also Delfouneso.....
@Scholesy Agenda much?
I would say he has a nasty streak in him in, but that is not a criticism, it's a good thing, as it means he will give as good as he gets from defenders who try and rough him up. He takes no shit from anyone.
Poor thread, sack Moyes.
OP is listening to Graeme Le Saux much?
I remember Carroll clattering into Dave a few years ago and nothing was given.
What's Sergio Canales up to these days?
BT are still pushing this. How many times does Howard have to say it's a yellow?
Certainly no worse than Brunt's, think yellow was fair for both of them.
Commentators on MSNBC/BT immediately declared 'RED' for Zlatan's shoulder barge. In the second half though, they were defending Chris Brunt's 'need to commit the challenge' for the team and why it was an yellow while Zlatan's challenge was a clear red. Alright lads, feck off now.
What a gold moment that wasI thought we played rough in England?
OP, you've picked the right player to name yourself after.
Red card?!
Bang on. What utter trash. I can't remember a single decent post that I have read from this clown. I bet if I look back he is one of the haters in the beginning and is now left with nothing but backhanded compliments to give... actually there was no compliment. The guy wins us the game yet again bags a couple and he chooses to start a thread about a flying header attempt.
What about a thread concerning the elbow/shoulder challenge against rashford which was even worse but because it was on the ground it was not as sensationalist. Or what about a thread concerning the slap against Rojo?
Anderson at left back though.
Never a red
Never a red
It was a very hard foul, and quite naughty, but I don't think it deserved a red. For those that think a red was justifiable, then the obvious excessive force shoulder challenge on Rashford when the ball was 20 yards away is every bit as much a red.
Yep that wound me up as well.
Should have just ended the thread with this.Madness to think it was a red. I cannot fecking believe that any so-called serious footballe experts would even think it could be a red.
Pulis is a right bitter cnut. Saying the shoulder barge was much worse than the slap.
It's a poor challenge. However, on the close up you can see he actually catches the player with his chest, not is shoulder.
Never a red. Nuff said.
Certainly one of those challenges you're a little worried about for a few seconds, but then quickly are re-assured!
Just a committed challenge, and when a 15 stone beast goes in like that, someone's ending up on the floor!

It's great to have Scholesy back, box office stuff.
Well it is TBF but not sure what else he wants. Both yellows
What's he spouting off about now?
It was fecking class.
Yellow was the right decision.
Look at Zlatans underrated speed. He came in fast!
And no, not a red. Just a good display of how fast that big fella can get some pace. Love it!

Haha I was only talking about that film with my son this afternoon.
Never a red .
The commentator said, and I quote "Why this challenge is a yellow and Zlatan's should have been a red is because they are different. My feeling is that they are different." Can't argue with that logic.
Hang on a minute...let's look at the evidence for a few hours more
