Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Paul w]

Show them this mate with a smug smile on your face.

I think them 2 tits on sky need to look at that.

NBC feed said it was definitely a straight red. You can make the arguement it was unintentional (because it probably was) but it was studs up to the face which is reckless and dangerous and should be a 3 match ban.

I'd ask Manchester police to review the video evidence and charge him
12 months in an open prison with a tag would be a fair punishment

 

[Toast]

They'll probably still spawn it. Moss will be desperate to even it up.

THIS.
Penalty on toast.

 

[tsubaki]

I didn't really see what happened in real time and its a long stoppage, so don't mind the ref explaining it.

I pray and earnestly wish that John Moss gathers the worlds media to him at the end of the game, gives himself ten seconds to compose himself and then says "He kicked him in the face", then walks off.

 

[Gladystweet]

It's a conspiracy.

 

[tsubaki]

Absolutely hilarious watching all the ex-kopite pundits in the media raging over that as if some great injustice has befallen them again. Regardless of intent you can't run in with your studs that high off the ground at speed like that, precisely because of the danger you're putting another player in.

It better not be overturned.

yeah but his granddad has a face as well so he can't possibly have kicked him in it

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

It's time for a classic, my fav of all time when they got Pulis'ed.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

I just love the notion that it shouldn't be a red if he didn't mean it. Intent doesn't matter when you kung fu kick someone in the face ffs.

Exactly. Both feet in the air and out of control. If it was an outfield player on the receiving end no-one would question the red.

 

[BlueShark]

RS fans attempting to defend the indefensible.

Who'd have thought.

Hope they get completely annihilated in the second half and Klopp has a full on meltdown in the post match interview.

that was another highlight on Sky, the goalkeeper that becomes an outfield player the moment he leaves the box... and so can be kicked in the face

Personally I think he should just escape the country and flee to Russia for asylum.

No chance of that being overturned.

I hope they do appeal it...the ban wil be increased.

I can see the point that Mane was going for the ball and all that but wasn't this the reason the ruling was brought in? to protect players from having serious head injuries? clear red.

Absolutely no doubt it was unintentional - if he got the ball he'd have scored and been a hero.

But he took a huge risk in playing that dangerously and got sent off for (potentially) seriously injuring Ederson.

Bad enough the Kopites trying to justify it.....Gary Neville is a self confessed RS hater and he is leading the charge for the apologists
