Is Rojo's stamp worse that Tyrone?

tbh I doubt the Mings "stamp" was at all deliberate, looked totally accidental to me. It was a tread which quickly slipped off the side of Zlatan's head, who was shocked by it rather than hurt, and it left no mark, I seriously doubt that if someone actually stamped on your head with a pair of football boots on you'd get away that lightly.
Man Utd are a very cynical side now.

 

Now you know why you find me throwing superlatives on a regular basis at Skiddy.

 

I think Rojo was booked both times, meaning the ref's decision couldn't be amended by the FA. That's a stupid rule imo. Every rule involving yellow cards seems to be untouchable for some reason, without justification.

It's probably because the FA just can't be bothered with the sheer volume of work it'll potentially bring their way.

 

FA's a joke mate, you'll never get consistency.
The ****ers gave Dembele a 6 match ban last season for playing dot-to-dot in Diego Costa's eye. Mousa should've been knighted for those heroic actions, the whole world was applauding him for doing that, was a perfect example of standing up to a bully.

 

Depends what you mean by "Worse".
It was worse in that Mings stamp was accidental and it appears Rojo's was on purpose. (Though we cannot know for sure).
But Mings could have done far more damage with it being on his head.
I think Mings was just reckless, Rojo was being a ****.
But Mings was more dangerous.

 

Let's not forget the red card lunge from Valencia.

 

****ing Martin Keown didn't see anything wrong with it, nor Costa elbowing De Gea in the nuts.
He's utterly clueless, but it probably just highlights what he got away with as a player.

Rojo and Costa had an ongoing fight throughout the whole match and Oliver just ignored it.
He bottled every major decision after the red, as he probably felt it was a bit borderline.
I think he got that right, as the Man Utd players were machine-gunning Hazard, spreading the fouls around to avoid bookings.

 

Spot on ... we've had a few do that to Mahrez ... they think they are being subtle but it's so fookin' obvious that you can almost see whose turn it is next at times ... a good ref would pick it up early and have a discrete word with the captain that he's clocked it and the next offender will get a yellow even if it is his first foul ...

 

Which is exactly what Oliver did. I'm not a big fan of his and I don't think he had a great game, but that was spot on.
Spotted it, had a word with a few players, then called over the captain, told him the score and dealt with the next one.
Now he's getting stick for being "wrong" and people wonder why our reffing standards aren't great.

 

I said it on the United board, good players need protecting from thugs like Jones and Rojo. We want to see physical football but not targeting of skilful players. It's not a tactic that should be encouraged and Oliver had the bottle to see it through having discussed it with their captain.

Problem he had after that was he let a lot go that were probably worse to try and even it up a bit. The Valencia one was really reckless, even if he got the ball. You're not meant to leave the ground like that.

United have got away with a fair few bad tackles this year as well so about time they got caught out.

 

And Costa and Luiz

 

Good to see the FA are under UTDs control

 

I think it's more likely that the FA don't listen to Adrian Durham and so form their own opinion.

 

*other equally clueless Talk Sport presenters are available*

 

He will probably be charged with bringing the game into disrepute after that.

 

He was sensible enough to leave it completely without context.

 

No action against Rojo, Oliver saw the incident and decided it was OK.

 

Illiterate and a dirty bastard.

Nice combo Tyrone.
