I agree, but also, and not because it's in this game, the player, play acting should get a red.  I detest play acting, and every single time it happens it should be a red. That's a rather extreme view i know, but it's just something that really irks me.

I agree with the diving to get someone being sent off should be a red card offence.

Put of all the rules they have changed in recent years, how this hasn’t been up for discussion is beyond me.

Lets add 15 minutes of stoppage time, let’s tweak the handball law, let’s discuss changing the offside rule, let’s have trials of kick in’s, but no one is asking for cheats to be punished.

It's the PL, so it will get extended to 4 games for extremely violent conduct.

[High Five o]

Shockingly poor 1st half, red card or not.

 

Not sure how we made Southampton look like Manc with the ball. 

[SUPERTOON]

Howe is going to have to get his subs bang on here for us to have any chance of winning.

we were outplayed for most of the first half tbh.

No, he’ll get a 3 match ban. It’s violent conduct.

Nahh, just leaning forward is likely enough, any real contact or not.

[Kid Icarus]

Feel like some of you have got microplastics in your brains. Two players both meeting heads and one of them going down like that is more often than not a yellow for both or a yellow card for the playacting

Schär made it sure that he’s not moving his head. Still unnecessary and stupid but there was no headbutt.

 

I thought there was contact? If not, like no contact at all then VAR sending him off is scandalous. I would then also expect it to be overeturned.

Can't imagine them overturning on-field ref and the VAR. Not because it was the right or wrong decision but they'd be aware of how bad it would look.

Halftime confession: I cannot BELIEVE Joe got that in the net.

Joe the attacker wouldnt have.

Someone halve Armstrong, please.

Its barely even conduct, let alone violent. Diaz's shove whilst play was stopped was way more violent.

it was only 35% or something before the red

Few notes:

 

Our press doesn't seem work as well against 3 at the back. In fact in general I think teams are better against a press than a couple of years ago. For the most part Soton dealt with it impressively well. A number of players don't look on it.

 

We were poor for a lot of that. Similar issue to last year for me in that in the 433 set up when trying to build out from the back everyone's so far apart. Bruno never has anyone near him to pass to and Isak is always very isolated. Would rather switch to a 4231 in those situations.

 

Schar is an idiot for putting his head against that guy.

 

As negligable as the contact was, anyone thinking Gordon isn't doing the exact same think as Brereton Diaz is deluding themselves.

 

Team was getting frustrated with not playing well before the red card. Need more composure. Burn's meant to be one of our experienced players and leaders but he's losing it more than anyone.

 

Big Joe is a legend.

3 match ban man ... 

 

Honestly, I'm absolutely fuming at Schar for falling for that cheap trick.

 

If anything he should have rolled around himself after that push, if it came after the whistle, and got Diaz booked.

 

So impossibly dumb.

I've done more violent things to my cock to be fair, no way was it violent in the true sense.

“Violent conduct” ffs. Put me a room with Pawson or that shit-hairline Chilean tart and you’ll see some actual violent conduct.

Think Schär just put his head on his head but there was no headbutt movement IMO.

It’s what it goes down as in the book though isn’t it?

[andycap]

If it where a top six defender that done that they'd be lucky even to see a card. Bent bastards var and the ref.

Irrelevant tbh.

 

An experienced player like schar should know, not to even react in such a way. Inviting the ref to make a decision.
