You could say that with every foul/tackle though, any tackle could have potential to injure someone if they don’t move out of the way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Cannot understand why this guy has continuously been given so much responsibility at Arsenal. Xhaka has been a complete liability and head case for them. Roma came in for him and they had a great chance to move him on, but instead gave him a new contract for goodness sake! Arsenal are absolutely incompetent in all areas at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is, but he’s won the whole of the ball and not even touched the player. Atkinson was booking him until he saw Cancelo’s fake reaction.

Fantail Breeze Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just now, ManDoon said: If someone throws a punch at you on the pitch but you duck it, it’s a red card. If he had jumped a normal tackle it wouldn’t be a red, no. I mean comparing that tackle to a punch is completely hyperbole. A punch is intending to injure someone, that tackle wasn’t. If he makes contact with the player, I agree it’s a red. But he doesn’t fucking touch him The player has dived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atkinson was booking him until he saw Cancelo’s fake reaction. Remember that time Thierry Henry [I think] got booked for jumping in front of the keeper's kick? He was about a metre away and got booked for a dangerous tackle. I never agreed and still don't. It was crazy but it never endangered anybody. That said if the opposing player has to jump out of the way then he has been impeded by the tackle. Edited August 28, 2021 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Jesus with all the time in the world to take a touch and finish, still no-one near getting close to putting a block in. So bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the intent that matters. Players jump tackles all the time, barely any get red. He literally flew at him two footed No. The player should jump out of the way, as every player does in an tackle. Should he cheat and feign injury though? If Cancelo remains standing and doesn’t throw himself to the floor feigning injury, is that still a red card? Doubt it’d even be looked at. Atkinson literally pulled a yellow out until Cancelo fooled him by faking an injury. Literally rewarding cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Look at Pep there, 49 seconds before half time, his team is 3-0 up, a man up, and he’s discussing with his assistant how to improve. On our sidelines we have a fat cunt who looks like he stumbles out of a night club trying to chat up the lass behind the bar who is 30 years younger than him before heading to Kebab King and ordering a family meal deal for himself.

Two footed, off the ground, out of control, reckless. Literally all of those things. And also nowhere near connecting with the opposition player… My point is quite clear. A player has just dived and faked an injury which changed the referee’s decision. Mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
