Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

If (and that's a big if) it's accidental, then he shouldn't be sent off. It's double jeopardy.
If he means it, then the red would still apply.

 

Welcome back mate.

 

Haven't seen it but it's was definitely a red

 

Nah. If he dives in he’s adjudged to be attempting to get the ball. Didn’t play the ball so it’s a red. Bit of a silly unintended consequence of the rule.

Then again **** him, he’s a ****.

 

Doesn’t matter whether it’s accidental, he’s made no attempt to play the ball, and he’s tripped him, accidental or not, it’s a red card.

 

As Peter Walton has just pointed out on BT the double jeopardy rule only applies if you attempt to play the ball. He didn't.

 

I never went anywhere. I was posting on here earlier and yesterday. Maybe you were too busy on the Burnley board to notice?

 

What's with everyone agreeing with me?

 

Just didn't see you for the Brighton game is all

 

More just disagreeing with the gooner than agreeing with you tbf

 

I'm never on the Prem board for Spurs games. We actually have people posting on our match threads.

 

Arsenal will still piss this with 10 men.

Nailed on.

 

Convenient

 

Justice for Jimenez

 

Is that what they meant?
I thought it was supposed to penalise deliberate fouls and avoid two punishments for genuine defensive attempts.
If that's how it's written, then it's the right decision.

 

No, convenient is when you're inevitably walking your dogs during big games...

 

Gabriel on for Arsenal.



Dreams can come true.

 

Rover always seems to need a piss when those games are on.

 

Pick that out
