Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I wouldn't have been surprised if Romero went on to gouge out somebody's eyes had he stayed on the pitch for another half hour.

 

Didht actually se that one but I heard he got no where near sterling so yellow was prob right.

 

your mate garth is on one today. Saying how refs opinion should be final blah blah blah. Arsenal obv thought was wrong but refs decision should be final no matter what.

Then says - but I thought it was a shocking decision

 

Chris Ewbank without the monocle.

 

Only saw the headline saying the refs got all the decisions correct. Had a picture of Udogie's two fitted lunge next to it

 

Red all day...............two footed,studs up and full force involved.......a real leg breaker

 

The only reason he didn’t get away with it was he wasn’t the England captain.

 

Wasn’t really a leg breaker. Was a tackle that fully took the ball and I’m not even sure if he touched sterling and if he did was the tinest possible tough.

Not a great tackle going in with both feet but wasn’t endangering sterling as didn’t touch him.

Sterling should have been booked for diving tbh

 

It's irrelevant whether he got the ball or Sterling, two fitted challenges aren't allowed.

 

But it wasnt 2 footed. 1 foot won the ball, 1 foot was no where near sterling.

Difference between 2 feet connecting with the player and 1 getting the ball and 1 nothing.

 

It was as blatant two footed lunge you'll see. They've been outlawed for over 20yrs. It was a red all day, every day.

 

What classifies something as a two footed tackle out of interest?

 

A two footed twckle isn’t an auto red card btw. It’s not more a red card than a tackle with 1 leg.
it’s only a red card if it meets the below.
Given he didn’t touch sterling I’d say that he wasn’t endangering safety of the player


A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

 

For once, FA has shown common sense.

Making a challenge with both feet

 

If it's two footed then then you are out of control; aka reckless and a red card.

Tbh mate, I'm not even sure why you're arguing it. It was blatant

 

Difficult not to unless you only have 1 of them?

 

Don’t agree. Can easily be in control while tackling with both feet. As shown by fact that he won the ball and didn’t touch sterling.

20 years ago that’s a clean tackle and not even a foul. Games gone soft

 

It was a blatant red card twenty years ago, already said that

You'd get sent off on a Sunday league pitch for doing it twenty years ago

 

Agree to disagree. Feel being sent off for winning the ball and not touching the player would be a bit of a joke but each to their own
