Guest firetotheworks Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I thought it might have been for the bit before it as well, it's the only explanation I can think of because a cynical trip like that is synonymous with yellow cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I might be making it up but I thought they changed the laws so that referees can give a red card for players with no intention of going for the ball. I'm sure Xhaka got a red for it last season. Rarely gets enforced like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 He got sent off for this against Swansea last season http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/10/16/13/396E3F0700000578-3841018-image-a-8_1476622373126.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 And yet we've never had the good fortune to have Colback sent off for doing it, despite it being one of his party tricks in shitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Dermot Gallagher said about that Xhaka incident: For me, this is the most interesting decision of the weekend because, hand on heart, my immediate thought was that this was a yellow card. But having seen it again it is a red card. The reason for that is because the player has no intention whatsoever to play the ball, he can't play the ball and his sole intention is to bring the man down You'd have plenty of red cards in a game if they intepreted like that. Shelvey would have been sent off yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think that Xhaka’s wasn’t helped by the fact that he jumped in the air to bring him down, rather than a very simple tap to the ankle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
