Fantail Breeze Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Horrible injury, obviously. But you can’t send someone off for a freak accident. Fucking ridiculous. With the caveat I’ve not seen it again, but it looked like a fair challenge. Edited September 12, 2021 by Fantail Breeze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my point of view, they were both running in line, the Leeds player cleanly won the ball and there was an unfortunately landing/tangle of legs afterwards. Not sure why Sky are saying the ref was always going to send him off, he didn’t even blow for a foul until he saw Salah’s reaction/the injury.

The Prophet Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Nah, that isn't a red card challenge. The ref has just reacted to the injury, poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Hope the injury is one of those that looks 100x worse than it is. Much lesser worry but hope that red is also challengeable even after an on-field VAR review. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he wasn't trying to cripple the lad but it was so unnecessary. You know everytime I watch football I am often dissapointed in how carelessly players tackle. Tackling is increasingly a lost art. He had not chance of winning the ballf rom the position he was in, as Elliott had just shifted th eball ahead of him, and he's gone in from a really awkward position. He was probably trying to give a cheap foul to stop the break, but in those kind of instances just grab the guys shirt or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky are saying they’ve been told the ref was always going to send him off and the VAR review was only to make sure it was the correct decision. Fucking liars. The play goes on until Salah makes the seriousness clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only saw it in live action. Looked a bit of an awkward and clumsy challenge. Should have just been a yellow though at most. but the ref definitely reacted to the situation, which was a bit strange.

Pilko Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Exact same as the Son/Gomes one the other year. Ref just gave the red cos of the injury. Klopp acting the cunt and booting off about it on the touchline is the least surprising thing ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Football's played at a ridiculous pace, less time to make right decision and more energy of 2 objects colliding. Either make it a non contact sport or create better rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you I haven’t seen it again. In real time I actually thought it was a great tackle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
