A very odd comment. Takes all sorts I suppose.

It was a brilliant tackle. Players today have forgotten how to ride a tackle when they get one. He knew it was coming and should have braced for the follow through, the whingeing Argentinian tit.
He wasn’t out of control, but was unable to withdraw from it once he won the ball?

We'd have been whingeing if one of theirs had followed through like that. Tarko was lucky.

No foul. Not even sure what a player is supposed to do if kicking a ball hard you have to be concerned there isnt a player in front of you in case you hit them.

I was always taught that if you don't go in 100%, you get hurt. It looks much worse because Macallister doesn't bother making a tackle at all. Had he bothered that woudl have been a great challenge and the 'intensity' would have been perfectly normal.
If he can’t tackle like that without following through with his studs up on the opposition player then he shouldn’t be playing at this level.
100% a red. People are being silly saying it isn’t.
The same VAR that gets hammered from pillar to post on here every week because of how demonstrably unfit for purpose it is?
I’m made up he got away with it, given the lad wasn’t seriously hurt, but it should absolutely have been a red.

It was defended after his tackle at Roma. Natural movement after a committed challenge.
The worst decision of the match was not giving off side though. There is an argument to be made with tye tackle, "great tackle in my day", "Maybe you cant do that anymore, but in my day it wasn't even a foul" etc etc. But, with the goal, since the day offsides we're introduced into the game of football, that is offside. Its quite beyond belief that they haven't given it. The ball.was purposefully played through to him. Maybe I'm wrong and the rules have changed again, where a player has to physically touch the ball to be considered part of the play, but I don't think it has.
Agree, if a foul, it's a red.
The defender is always winning the ball - get out the way.
If Tarkowski half arses it, he could come away injured himself from a lazy/late hanging leg/stamp.
A proper tackle, momentum took him through.
Anyone who plays football knows what he’s done there.
Even in the 80s that’s a red with a good ref.
Centre halves have to make challenges like that every game, how many do you see that result in a possible leg breaker?
None, because they’re all good enough to put in forceful tackles without running the risk of a red card.
If you can’t do that then you shouldn’t be playing at this level.

Football is dead if that's a red card. It shouldn't have even been a yellow. It's a hefty challenge and no more than that. The proof of that is that Macalister got up and played on for the rest of the 90 minutes.

I was referring to his intentions - he wasn't reckless, merely unable to withdraw from the challenge, from which he won the ball.
I am looking forward to us moving on from him. Every few weeks he has a tackle where he could easily walk.
