That's not a red card, solid yellow. Emerson's not in any danger from the tackle.

 

He kicks Emerson's planted leg as hard as he can with an intent to hurt him, how's that not dangerous? Kane should have been off too but doesn't mean that isn't clear as day red.

Yeah. I know we have this love for playing the game hard, but a snidey kick delivered with that much force is just not on.

Straightforward Sunday League hack. No intent to play the ball, just a violent hack straight through the leg. I'd give it a red personally but I'd be lying if I said I've not done the exact same thing when I've been fucked off towards the end of a match.

That isn’t what happened though.

 

He intended to kick the ball, Emerson got there a fraction sooner and there was a swipe of the legs.

The ball was on the touchline.  Was he trying to kick it out of the ground?

Not too dissimilar to Lascelles’ forcefully tackling the ball and taking a Man City player earlier. 
 

Both were attempts to get the ball, one got it, the other didn’t. It was a yellow.

He thought he could away with it due to getting the ball too. Anyone saying Robertson wasn't trying to hurt Emerson there is absolutely clueless to me.

Is that the one where Lascelles slid the ball out of play?

Definitely a red, like. Was one of those where it's try to play the ball and stick one on the attacker at the same time. Got it horribly wrong. 

 

Absolutely no need to be making that sort of challenge in that area of the pitch like that.

Thought Robertson's was a red tbh, but thought Kane's was too and that Liverpool should have had another clear penalty. 

 

 

Yeah Liverpool got the rough end of that, thought Klopp would have been raging at the final whistle, but he looked relatively philosophical sadly.

Well he clearly doesn't kick the standing leg, that's just obviously false.

True, it's milliseconds before he plants it. Doesn't make it any less serious offense though.
