    Had it been 2 inches above ground and he met his ankle it would still be a red card. This was 5 foot above ground and in the head. 50:50 I don't care what you call it you cant go into a challenge like that.

    Lads seriously thinking that's not a red need to have a wee chat with themselves


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,592 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Salah tripped and stayed up there !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,663 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    He could have caused serious damage to a player doing that and yet some say the goalkeeper was at fault for lowering his head!

    That's pretty comprehensive there. Clear red card.

    Otamendi is garbage. Salah should be up his hole.

    I applaud the keeper for making the most of it,even got stretchered off with an oxygen mask.Serious commitment.
    Some of the comments here outdo Trump for fake news.

    Hmm. That doesn't look great now, in fairness. Ref has perfect view too.

    Doubt very much that'll be rescinded, lads.

    Still images never look good

    It's a least a millimeter lower than it should be, desperate from the keeper


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭upandcumming


    Does anyone remember Nani's tackle on Arbeloa when United played Madrid in the champions league a few years ago? It was a similar situation except Nani tackled arbeloa's side rather than his head. Loads of people argued that was a red card. If that was a deserved red card, then Mane's tackle was 100% a red card.

    No I'd say no one remembers that.

    and that had nothing to do with being a man down.

    I'm clearly a fantasy football guru. Swapped de bruyne n Jesus for Pogba and firminho (-4 points to boot)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,006 ✭✭✭edgecutter


    Nev has dug himself a deep hole with his defence of Mane. Clear red, regardless if Mane didn't mean to hit him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,521 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    That latest picture on the thread is pretty damning tbf. Really hate to say it, but it's the correct decision and the 3 game ban will probably stand.

    Nani didn't kick the player in the head adox

    But that's irrelevant really. It's the same sort of challenge. Th card is always for the offence, not the resulting injury or impact.

    It looks like a horrible injury to the keeper and I hope he makes a speedy recovery but injury level doesn't dictate the card.

    I'm hoping Pep subs him. Maybe stick Dinho in as a makeshift CB. Ota is an accident waiting to happen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,592 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Otamendi tripped Salah on line of box, and he stayed up when it was a certain second yellow and penalty.
    Salah really annoying me in his decisions !!!

    I was wanting him to go down,Fantasy Football points are a serious business.

    A red for dangerous play and an out of control tackle. It's clearly the case here. Sorry man but can't agree with you here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,596 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    If mane wins the ball with his foot there he probably still gets a yellow for dangerous play


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,584 ✭✭✭Rekop dog


    Perhaps you should read the post I quoted then.

    Yano, cause it's kind of relevant.

    You're trying to say that you can see beyond your club allegiance and make an impartial decision. But whoever you support it doesn't matter. Your view that it's not a red is just plain wrong by the laws of the game. Mane was reckless in the very extreme.

    Watch Nev try and pretend that he watched it a number of times at half time and now agrees with Moss decision.

    It wasn't a tackle. He went to take down the ball

    No way the keeper gets a red if mane gets a touch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,049 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    Carragher admitting he was originally wrong. Others should take note


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,053 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    No I'd say no one remembers that.


    Are you being serious, it's hard to tell. I remember it and remember thinking it was very harsh as was the one today.

    I don't think he will win an appeal but a bit of common sense from the ref is what you need. I don't believe there was any intent to be reckless or do damage and I think a yellow would have been the right colour card there.

    I don't support either club so no bias here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,207 ✭✭✭fyfe79


    It's a red, lads. I'm positive that it wasn't malicious or intentional, but it was dangerous play so it's a red. Game over anyway, unfortunately.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,718 ✭✭✭upandcumming


    Stonewall red card. Anything else is delusional.

    Wrong! Mane goes in high and dangerous and still gets sent off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,049 ✭✭✭✭niallo27


    Watching it in normal play it looks a yellow but when slowed down it looks a red.

    Carragher fully behind the red card decision at half time. Comments around it far more sensible than Neville's "Ederson is injured because his defenders tried to play offside". Stupid comment. :rolleyes:

    It wasn't a tackle. It was a challenge for the ball.

    We will have to agree to disagree.

    That's somewhat of an oxymoron. Recklessness tends not to involve intent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,663 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Definitely a RED card --

    Fifa's laws of the game for the 2017-18 season contains the following entry...
    "Serious foul play - a tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play."


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,006 ✭✭✭edgecutter


    No doubt it's a red, just because you are trying to get the ball doesn't mean you can't make a mistake and be reckless. It doesn't make Mane a dirty player, but it is still a reckless challenge. Klopp also should be ashamed with his behavior on the side lines.

    So if he didn't make contact with the keeper you still think it's a red. Since when is a high foot a red.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Chamberlain must be delighted he might play the next few games


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,349 ✭✭✭Quandary


    Watching the reply in HD slow motion, it is impossible imo to claim that challenge is anything other than a red card. Two feet in the air at running pace with his foot higher than his own head??? Red all day long. No intent to hurt the keeper but thats irrelevant. It was very reckless

    Mane didn't even protest it, which says a lot.

    Otamendi should have went too after his two footed tackle into mane earlier as he was out of control :D

    Sod it lads, that's a red that won't get rescinded. He'll be out for Burnley and two against the Foxes, hardly the end of the world and he'll be well rested before the away game in Moscow.

    Infuriating stuff, but not the end of the world....

    Yes, they are studs and yes they are hitting him in the face

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    Terrible decision, ref gave a red based on emotion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,596 ✭✭✭kingshankly


    "Went for the ball" is the most meaningless statement in football

    If in that exact situation he makes contact with the ball yes its a red
    If a player makes contact in the way Mane did its always a red buddy, im sorry if i'm the one who had to tell you this

    Challenge, tackle, whatever lads
    It's was wreckless and out of control
    FIFA rules state straight red


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,843 ✭✭✭dmigsy


    If mane wins the ball with his foot there he probably still gets a yellow for dangerous play

    Not a chance Mane would get booked if he nicked it first. Ederson would have got the red in that scenario.

    Foolish challenge from Mane and certainly a red.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,521 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    If we don't completely throw in the towel (which I can't see happening) then I'm fairly confident we'll score given how utterly pathetic City are at the back.
