2024/25 James Tarkowski

I don't think it was a foul.

And I think if the ref gives a foul, he has to give a sending off.

To give a yellow card to someone winning the ball with a very strong tackle feels insane but also very 2025.

Red card or not ( and it wasn’t) I won’t be loosing sleep over it.

Worst player on the pitch. Not for play for decision making.

As captain, come FT, someone goes into the stands. They fit you up with the offside, and you had the chance to get revenge.

When they conspire to cheat you, put them in hospital. Lesson as old as time.

Cracking tackle.

It's a man's game. Get on with it you manslaughtering weapons.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Disingenuous that, mate. He’s an experienced player. He could have cleared that ball and not followed through with anything like the intensity he did, instead he decided to act the hard man and, but for a very lenient VAR/ref, leave us a man down at their place for 80 mins.

As is always the barometer for these things: Tell me you wouldn’t have been baying for blood if VVD had committed that exact challenge on one of ours.

Sorry, but totally disagree. Appreciate your point of view but the game is dying with VAR and all the twinkle toes play acting.

He clearly wins the ball, which at the very least provides mitigation. Moreover, he wasn't out of control with that challenge, as he just committed to it and couldn't withdraw from it once he won the ball. At the end of the day, there have been worse challenges with worse outcomes which have not been punished.

I honestly can't believe any football fan doesn't think that's an absolutely nailed on red card. There's home team bias but that is one of the most blatant red cards you'll. It completely mystifying.

This won’t get any coverage at all, because it’s correct and the truth.

Sorry mate. That is a red car absolutely every day of the week. There is absolutely no place in the game for those sorts of tackles. Could easily have broken the lads leg. I remember him doing a similar thing on Richie and this place was apoplectic. He does it regularly too.

It wasn’t today. Even after VAR which is beyond corruption agreed. Sorry to burst your bubble.

 

[BlueStevie35]

It was a red, but let’s be honest here lurkers, we were due to get away with one especially after past misdemeanours such as Slippy making Gary Naysmith impudent and Dirk ‘Sloth’ Kuyt doing his best Bruce Lee impression

 

[Walken]

[Hellerad]

Kopite press are all over this tackle today, it would never be talked about if it was Vergil.
