And, we’re off.......2018/2019

[Deleted member 16999]

Remember Mane last season, jumping high with feet against the keeper and being sent off?
I think keepers get the better end of both sticks, the giver and reciever.

Mane didn’t get the ball, absolutely nothing like Pickfords! :rofl:

Pickford has 2 choices, clear the ball outside his box or stay in box and hope Ings doesn’t go around him.

Backs up what I said yesterday that the game has gone soft.

Decided to leave it a while before making judgement.

Vardy, red card. It was cynical and he knew what he was doing.

Pickford was a red too, it was reckless imo, the marks on Ings showing that, but as usual If it was done by an outfield player he’d have been off. At least In that way refs are consistent.

Its early doors, and I want to give Hughes time after last season, but I don’t quite get the logic of being more attack minded away at Everton, than at home against Burnley.

Were did I say people aren’t entitled to an opinion?
But it’s a fact some have no idea about football.

First thing - quit the accusations of trolling ,secondly it was an opinion based on what I saw and what the result was - Pickfords foot was high and then went into Ings imo it was dangerous and out of control and ended up causing clear visible injury to Ings - so imo by the letter of the law he shld of been a red card but just an opinion that I would expect someone to not accuse me of trolling and just show a touch of bit of politeness which seems lacking in younger people these days

lol, when your opinions are so outlandish and biased can you expect people not to wonder? Vardy was aggressive, Pickford was just clearing the ball, chalk and cheese.

Yes, because catching someone in the head is the same as catching them on the hip. Unless you think Ederson is at least 2 feet shorter than Danny Ings?

Any qualified referees on here who can give an opinion?

I think if there was one we'd know about it by now.

How can they be outlandish and bias when it’s an opinion that a number of people have posted and also said the same opinion - Pickfords foot was high , out of control and dangerous and clearly caught Ings - it may not have had the same force or intent but could quite clearly be dangerous play - he didn’t just clear the ball he also hit a player studs up on someone’s back - clearly dangerous

It maybe a different body part compared to Mane etc but it’s still dangerous

I know one who was about 20yds away from the incident on Saturday, had a clear view and thought there was nothing wrong with it .

But would you really say if you were a qualified ref? Would you dare to let everyone know and be shouted down?

Rubbish.
Pickford is in total control and is proved by the fact he cleared the ball with full contact, therefore never out of control or dangerous, it’s a man game!
It’s the follow on from that that is questionable, Ings turns away as Pickford clears the ball, Pickfords boot on returning to the ground as the ball was in the air he catches Ings.
IF Pickford has intentionally made a second move into Ings he fully deserves a red card for violent conduct.

IF Pickford has unintentionally caught Ings then that’s exactly what it is, 2 players coming together going for a ball.

You said it was worse than Vardy's, that was the laughable part. I can only assume you haven't ever played football, if you had you'd know that some things are unavoidable. He comes out to clear the ball, which is his job, and accidentally catches Ings with his follow through. Of course his foot was high, because the ball was at waist height and he was kicking it. I don't know what else you think he should have done. Just stand still and let Ings latch onto the ball and score perhaps? On Mane's one he got nowhere near the ball and kicked a man in the face - once again to compare the two is laughable.

Good of you to finally admit it. 😉

I actually said it was more of a red card so a least get your facts on spot if you are going to start deriding people’s opinion in the way you are.

Pickfords foot was high and he wasn’t in control from what was going to happen after made contact with the ball - if it was an outfield player they would have been given a red card for a high dangerous challenge but he got away with it because he is a keeper - a player getting studs down their back when they standing up means someone has gone in high and dangerous.

If it was the other way round and Ings made contact with the ball then Pickford high he would have walked

You haven't answered me. What should Pickford have done? Let Ings through for an easy goal? Cleared but somehow magically made his leg disappear as soon as he'd kicked the ball?

You’re welcome mate Did you ever play at a higher level ?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

What Pickford should have done is ensure his actions don’t harm the player - being accidental doesn’t stop it being dangerous - he could have chested the ball then if Ings made contact the foul would have been given - Pickford kicked a high ball and his follow through put studs on the back of a player causing injury , if Pickford can’t clear it without having his studs high then he risks a dangerous tackle - two outfield players doing the same and it’s a red card all day




Yep he is control and certainly not reckless at all

 

[pokerjoke]

Having played football at a good level as a player going forward you should know that a keeper flying out of goal,or
even coming out of his area at full speed he is to be avoided at all costs.

Having only seen MOTD this morning my thoughts are a red for Vardy and Pickford.

Vardy was over the top and out of control imo.

Pickford out of control out of his penalty area,and i do believe he followed through with a 2nd movement.

 

[pokerjoke]

By the way can anyone go back and find my posts where i said it would all end in tears for Jose.

Paul Pogba said in an interview that they were not up for the game,how the hell can a manager let that happen.
As for the player saying it well we need a lot more than your giving.
