Flip Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Was the keeper hurt this bad like? Certainly looks it. No idea what the injury is though. I'd imagine it's a fracture. That's heck of a collision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thought it looked harsh as well, but that's a clear red in the replays. Studs up in the goalkeepers face. Gerraway Ball is there to be won. Had to go for it. Game has completely gone to the durgs If it was at ankle height would you say the same thing? Both feet off ground, studs up, out of control.

SimplyAnth Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Aye probably is dangerous play running at full pelt and putting your foot that high. No malice but still dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He could've just given him a yellow card and no one would've complained. Think Man City fans would've. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Divnt care about "studs up" being some form of immediate red either. It's nonsense. Your studs are "up" for any stretching tackle. There's no reason for it to be outlawed. Sawft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He could've just given him a yellow card and no one would've complained. I think City having their keeper stretchered off because someone's just clattered into him dangerously might have had something to say about it mind.

nufc4eva Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Thought it looked harsh as well, but that's a clear red in the replays. Studs up in the goalkeepers face. He's looking at the ball all the way, never a red, just a challenge for the ball You cant come to challenge studs first and kick a gk to head man.. At that point he's an outfield player running out the box to charge the ball, Mane may have thought the ball was clear to win. We may as well play head height rules if he's not allowed to raise his foot there like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm split on the red. Instinctive reaction was it was a clear 50/50 and Mane has to be allowed to try and win it. Eyes on the ball, yellow card for the high boot. But then again it's pretty clearly dangerous play under the laws of the game. Meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 red imho, his studs were at head height its dangerous play the end no eye on the ball defence is appropriate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 One of the easiest reds you'll see this season. No idea how people can question it. You don't challenge for a ball at that height with your studs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I doubt 'looking at the ball' is anywhere in the laws of the game. I don't want to see players sent off for it but the laws are the laws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerraway Ball is there to be won. Had to go for it. Game has completely gone to the durgs Even if he wins the ball and misses the GK, thats a foul. In the planet soft c*** rulebook, aye. Don't see what Mane could have done tbh. Yellow, fair enough, never in a million years a red. 99% of red cards normally aren't someone going out to do the other player harm but they're still reds.

Deckard 13 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm clearly a big soft cock like because I'd be furious if that happened against us and the player got a yellow. You can't go full pelt, studs up, head height and say you're in control of the challenge. It's unlucky, there is no malice but don't think that matters really.

Stottie Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hope Bravo's been practising stopping shots. If dangerous play is a red, then I suppose it's a red. It's a shame for the game as a contest, with Mane looking good, but that's just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Can't agree that's a red, awful clatter but he's got to be allowed to go for the ball. You can't not challenge just because someone else might be there. If he had tried to pull out he'd have been cleaned out himself. These things happen in a contact sport.

Tiresias Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Red for me, not that its not harsh, no malice in the challenge and of course you want players to challenge for that. But sorry high flying kick to the head can have very serious medical repercussions so it's difficult for me to think that should be considered a fair challenge. Of course the issue is with consistency of the high boot rule being replied. Scorpion kicks and the like technically should then be outlawed but that quickly gets ridiculous. I don't however think we can ignore boots and heads flying towards each other. Of course accidents can happen particularly if the player is falling and the head is in an unnatural position, but to me that is always a dangerous tackle.
