Like against Sanchez in the NLD, that’s not a penalty for me because the ball had already gone

Will take it though

you don’t have to have the ball to win a penalty.

remember Lamela getting kicked in the back against Liverpool? stonewall penalty if you assault or wipe out a player regardless of whether he has the ball or not

He made no serious effort to play the ball and invited contact from the defender and had a nice little roll around. I’ll call out opposition players (and delighted the game looks safe now) but that is shitty behaviour.
Watch the replay, then give your head a wobble

He came flying in out of nowhere needlessly on a ball going out of play. Clearly there is intent to injure on that. So no I am not joking. If that doesnt constitute being a red than honestly what does?
No there wasn’t intent. He doesn’t come “flying in” he slides in to make a tackle or block. It is a penalty but it’s not a goal scoring opportunity so it’s not a red.

Guy went sliding in like an idiot when there was no need

It was barely a foul. Let alone a red mate. Still, who cares> Went in our favour for once. Plus Hojbjerg just got away with a foul without a card. Swings and roundabouts/

All the top teams pull stuff like this. Teams have won world cups pulling this shit. We don’t do it enough!
Fair enough. And I’ll call out other teams too. It’s a shitty part of the game no matter who does it. It’s dishonest.

Like Lacazette last week. Sure he gets taken out but that reaction was unnecessary.

The player didn’t have to accept the invitation......that was a pen for me!
