The Premier League Thread

Posted too soon, without checking the facts.

 

Neville called it wrong. Now trying to justify it, as is his co-commentator.
Plonkers.

 

Doesn't need to be intentional. Dangerous play therefore red card.

 

Hadn't seen the incident myself, just going by comments on line, so changed my comment.

 

For all the people (not on here but texting into BBC etc.) who are saying it is not a red:

- He kicked someone in the head
- He didn't need to
- The goalkeeper went down and has gone off
- The goalkeeper did not roll around holding his face in the one time I have seen recently where he would be 100% justified in doing so

That is why it deserves a red card. The type of play that encourages MMA style behaviour should be discouraged

 

Exactly, he must have seen Ederson was coming out, so raising your foot that high is unforgivable.

2-0 Jésus.

 

I can't believe liverpool fans are defending that. yes he didn't intentionally kick the goalkeeper in the head but he intentionally put his foot in a position that could cause some really serious damage. you can't have players doing that which is why you need the punishment.

 

Damn! Only because he's in my work fantasy team. As for Liverpool

 

Mane and Ederson are both in my fantasy team!

 

Ouch! Literally, in Ederson's case I also have Jesus which helps...

 

Your fantasy team are destroying each other. Ouch.

 

I don't think big hulky goalkeepers should be allowed out of the penalty area to clatter little forwards who are unbalanced with both their feet off the ground

 

Stop digging Neville.

 

What is the gist of what he is saying?

 

Fabulous by City, 3-0.

 

Neville does not seem to understand to meaning of the word 'dangerous'.
Intent matters not a jot. Otherwise we'd have 'accidental' shotgun discharges during games you tit.
He kicked the keeper in the head and out of the game ffs !!!!!

 

And reality the red wasn't for kicking the guy in the head it was for putting his foot into a dangerous place that lead him do so and that action was intentional unless people are suggesting his foot was blown there by the wind.

 

Liverpool could really do with a decent centre-back....

 

.....or two

 

Then they should have signed one who was available . There was probably 100 who could have fit the bill and be better than what they have - Keane and Maguire are two examples straight off

Or what about the 25m+ one they alienated and booted out
