2018/19 Richarlison

[orly]

He scored a goal in one game in the style of Henry, then he let's the whole organisation down badly.

Sorry, is there a contradiction in there somewhere?

Agreed - very weak vaulting game there

 

[davek]

Please never call Everton an "organisation" ever again David. We don't play in the NFL.

The team, the management, the fans.

It's an organism.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

No they don't.

The rules:

VIOLENT CONDUCT

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Soooo...IMO, it certainly wasn't excessive force or brutality considering the player didn't even flinch and immediately turned to the official. To me, that's pretty strong evidence that the force used was negligible.

Again, it was dumb, but to call it a red card to me was the incorrect decision. If we are talking about what the rules state, the undercut on the head ball attempt on Ricky by Smith was much worse and was excessive force.

‘Attempts to use excessive force’

Just because Richarlison doesn’t knock him out doesn’t mean he wasn’t attempting to hurt the lad, and that is how the referee has probably seen it (attempts) as violent conduct, that’s why he gave him a straight red.

A young lad , very talented but still learning and will make mistakes on the way.
I think that he may be learning that he is now at a much bigger club than previously and all his actions will be even more closely scrutinised.
He will learn on the job, but the most important point is that we seem to have signed a genuine talent.

Thierry Henry to thick divvy in a week is a record for you mate!

 

[BlueToff]

A snide in the left back position instead of Baines does

What, a snide doesn't shove Wilson in the back?

 

[BiggyRat]

I hope someone makes a gif of Smiths acting in comparison to Keanes genuine consequences if a head clash. I hope he’s embarrassed.

Happen not but the sod got his come uppance later courtesy of Wallcott.

 

[Toffeelover]

Richarlison needs to mature this is not play ground football.

 

[Del-boy]

He’s only young so you can expect a bit of this. He just needs to realise now that teams will be looking to wind him up for a reaction.
At least the cup game which he probably wouldn’t have played anyway takes up one of the three games.

 

[Chewbacca]

How times change. I remember Van Den Hauwe sprinting 60 yards to put a flying headbutt on some QPR no-mark. He got sent off but it didn’t turn a crisis of epic proportions.

What do you mean by "you can expect a bit of this"? That is insulting to most players of his age who are not as stupid or thick as he appears to be. His action is deserving of a huge fine and warning that if he does it again in similar circumstances with a minimum of provocation, we get shut of him. Forget his ability or what he cost, there is no room here for lunatics with lack of responsibility who behave like a thicko on a street corner.

 

[Bazlar]

This could be where Fergusons coaching skills come to the fore. He can dig out his Youtube montage of how to headbutt properley

I mean that he’s young and naive and young people tend to make mistakes and then hopefully learn from them.. Rooney was the same.

I'd argue an attempt at excessive force is more like what Fred did for United at the end of that Brighton game. Basically you swung hard but missed. Richarlison didn't use anywhere near excessive force in my opinion but apparently the general football community is fine with making any head butt type of thing a red regardless of if it is actually dangerous. I mean the referees are asked to make hundreds of decisions every game but they can't actually decide if something like that is a bit of stupid handbags or actually a violent, dangerous thing worthy of ejection. I just don't understand that logic. I feel the same way about the lad who got sent off for Huddersfield too for what it's worth.
