I wouldn't have given Virgil a red, but I understand why it was given, think I must be going soft.

He had to go. Isak was the last man and Virgil took his leg before the ball. Saying that, I know what you mean.

I think by modern standards, it's a red

Evening. Not a red, he wins the ball. People taking proper ****e about him making contact first, that's a normal part of football. Trent though

Not a red, behave

 

[FosseFilberto]

Trent lucky not to have followed Virgil to an early bath, manicure, pedicure, exfoliation and all over body moisturiser...

... today's footballers eh? ... ****ers...

Taking a leg before winning the ball happens in every game, there's always contact when you make a tackle.

I don't like seeing all these reds, it spoils the contest, although great for bantz. I think the booking for the ball throwing, there are times when it should be given but I didn't think Trents was, I know rules are rules but just all seems a bit petty to me BUT there are times when it should be given, especially when players are using it for delaying tactics, Trents one was just more petulance and all that was required was a verbal warning of the new rules.

If that were a Newcastle player on Salah? Is it/is it not a red?

Don’t come here with logic

Jamie Carragher spitting mad (see what I did there?) at VVD red card...and I quote "we don't know it was a goal scoring opportunity cos of the foul...the striker might have had a poor first touch"

 

[Fox Mulder]

Anyone that thinks bringing down a fwd when you're last man and he's in on goal doesn't present a chance is off their trolley.

 

[Welshie]

Personally think it would have been mad to send Trent off.

He threw a ball and had a bit of a scrap with a fellow Scouser. A blue Scouser at that.

I mean, come on, all part of the game.

It was a nailed on foul and he was the last man so it's a red all day long.

 

[Fox Mulder]

BTW if it was lascelles in on goal that's different

I don’t think either of these teams have looked impressive today.

Hmmmmm.... now you know I love you ... but I have a teeny weeny suspicion that you have never, and will never, ever, admit to being impressed by either of these 2 particular clubs
