I can't believe there's a debate on it, for me, It's a sending off, its reckless and dangerous play as well.
There's not much of a debate tbf. In real time it looks like two players going for the same ball and they collide, once you watch a replay the high foot is dangerous so it's a red.
No malice intended but that doesn't matter, red all day long. The Liverpool fans would be smashing The Emptyhad up if it was the other way round and Mane was facing a long spell out.
Yeah, seriously. No intent there that I could see. But if you go into a 50/50 challenge with your foot dangerously high, you're gonna see red.
By the letter of the law he has to go ... that said, the likely 3 games ban could be looked at because unlike other straight reds I don't think there was any degree of malice ...
It was reckless and he nearly took his head off. Anyone who thinks that's not a red should take up knitting
Yeah cracking day. Started drinking at 8:30 went to Bournemouth kept drinking. Ended up at St Mary's watching Saints Watford. Kept drinking. Met some bird with a bottle of vodka on the train home. Drunk that. Had a great time with Libby though, top bloke.
Not for me. When I played in net, I expected to get clattered in that situation. A yellow would have sufficed.
