The rules changed a few years back to stop cynical **** like that. Like I said, Xhaka got sent off for it a few years ago for exactly the same. Uncontrolled lunge with no thoughts other than taking him out. Obviously the rules have changed
I think the ref came to a sensible outcome, saved spoiling what has been a good game, regardless of whether it should or not of been a red. Commonsense prevailed.
Only fans in the world that would celebrate not getting beat after being 3-1 up with half an hour to go. I'm not even joking. You need to shift that small club mentality.
I'll shift that small club mentality when the club does. Someone says we can have a player for 30m and you can bang on the money guarantee Newcastle would offer 25m just to ensure we don't get it over the line. Then our lot claps the clubs "strategy in the market."
Hold on, VAR overturned a tackle knee high with both feet off the ground. Fair play to chopsaw FC for getting the rules change.
