Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

I was just always under the impression that the ref could not play an advantage if they were sending a player off. Thought it had to be stopped immediately.

Im not sure on that rule. Straight Red makes sense but maybe not a second yellow.

True. I mean obviously it isn’t a rule because surely no ref would make such a mistake but I’m sure i got it from somewhere haha

I like that English commentators still take shots at Sarri's time at Chelsea despite finishing 3rd behind two all time teams and winning the Europa League. Crap manager him.

Ajax have more attacking threat with 9 men than we do with 11.

Guaranteed entertainment for the neutral when Lampard's team is playing.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Imagine being upset about the amount of added time after the set of decisions they've already got

Was about to post the same. I predicted them to struggle this season but they’ve been ace.

Rules are rules. What’s gone in their favour that shouldn’t have so far?

 

[TheBigIguana]

They're acting like Chelsea set the wheels in motion for this comeback before Ajax went down to 9. You English are incredible with the bias sometimes.

The handball on Veltman obviously. And I'm not sure but I think playing advantage and going back to send someone off isn't allowed.

I explained above how it makes sense. You’ll have to dig out that sending off rule as it doesn’t make any sense to me if true.

“No you can’t have that advantage even though with or without it I’ll be sending that chap off.”

I don't know that it makes sense, I just thought that was the rule.

Also the handball was still a ridiculous decision.

Why? It hit his arm in the box? Those are the rules now.

 

[Walham Green Blue]

Blimey! We’re crap at the back.

No they aren't. They very much are not the rules now. That's the rule for attackers. For defenders it is more nuanced to avoid attackers smashing it off defenders arms intentionally. In this case his arm is down, he doesn't move toward the ball and it is struck hard enough to make getting out of the way difficult. Not a handball, not a sending off, not a penalty and probably not a point for Chelsea.
