Typical forward’s tackle. Deserved red though.
Refs got zero ball knowledge.
Ye that’s a red
I see so many people here say intent doesn’t matter, and maybe it doesn’t, but shouldn’t it?
Arteta’s head would literally explode if this happened to Saka.
ffs he tracked back once since the start of this season and he got a red card
Idk… He just tried making himself big and accidentally stepped on his leg. I know how it looks, but 0 intention and purely unlucky imo
Just looks like he’s trying to shield that
This is just a dumb red imo. The only leg you have to stand on is that he steps on the guys ankle but there’s literally nothing in this. He is simply taking a step to shield the ball and the other play sticks his foot out right where he’s stepping. Is Rashford supposed to drag his feet along the floor to get where he’s trying to go? This is normal shit that happens in the game. Stop punishing players for freak occurrences and focus on what cards are for, dangerous plays. Nothing about this was dangerous, just unfortunate timing by both players.
Games absolutely gone if thats a red fucking hell
Fuck it looks completely accidental but Jesus Christ that ankle should not be bent like that
I’m not a pro at football but I can tell he definitely wasn’t aiming for the ball
This sub makes me go insane sometimes.
It seems you have to break a bone for it to be a red card, and even then I’m sure half the sub would argue it’s not because it was an accident.
I don’t understand how there is an argument against this red card
I dislike ManU but i absolutely despise red card decisions like these.
Everyone and their mother knows this was utterly unintentional.
Is this really what a red card should be about? Technicalities?
For me it should be the exact opposite: A red is when people deliberatly try to injure, or provoke injuries.
None of that happened here.
And this is comming from a guy liking Kopenhagen, Liverpool and City.
They should really force the ref to watch the fouls at real time speed before leaving the monitor.
