Rice is booked for wasting time, but he didn’t kick away a stationary ball, the defender kicks the ball ahead of himself and Rice and starts running to take a quick free kick, he suckered Rice in.
The defender should not be trying to take a free kick with a moving ball.

Does that even matter? We don't know if the ref would have allowed that free kick to stand.. the result would be free kick retaken due to a moving ball. However kicking the ball away regardless is a yellow card. They have been warned about it this season.

Interesting tackle by Casemiro

Yes, because it makes a mockery of Refs trying to follow the rules and be consistent, the Brighton player in the 1st half was not booked for kicking the ball away when Arsenal were awarded a throw in, add in VAR can’t intervene on a Yellow and if they could the Yellow could of been rescinded as the free kick was incorrectly taken.
But it is what it is and Refs will be blamed.

Really? Presumably only in connection with clubs he likes then. Because any time he spoke about Everton and Forest last year, he wagged his finger their way and took the piss.

Does it? Really? He takes the free kick before the ball was stopped. Ball was kicked away. Yellow correctly given to rice and free kick correctly retaken
No laws not followed

It was a 2nd yellow by the letter of the law.
What’s worse though was that clothes-line the other week by Joelinton on the opposition keeper . The most obvious straight red ever. ….It was his pass that cut through Spurs today to set up the winner.

Fernandes passing has been awful so far.

You mean the 2 sides that got penalised for breaching FFP? Should he have applauded them?

They've all been poor at passing so far.

If there was ever a game for Zirkzee to play in to realise you don't get much time on the ball, it is this one.

Someone should have told Casemiro that!
Casemiro does know United are playing in red, I take it? The number of times he gives the ball away is shocking.

You need to watch it again, here’s the opinion of Mark Halsley the former PL Ref.
However, the ball was rolling when Brighton’s Joel Veltman took the free-kick, so the restart would not have taken place as it would have been wrong in Law.
Therefore, the delaying a restart does not apply. Kavanagh went looking for trouble and he found it.
"A referee of his calibre at this level should not be sending players off for this. He should have managed the situation better by speaking to both players.
"Rice should have received a final warning for flicking the ball away and Veltman was also lucky to escape punishment for kicking the England star."
Add in Danny Welbeck waving his arm and asking for a Yellow Card (another bookable offence by the letter of the law) is why fans get annoyed about inconsistency.
Fine you disagree, I’ll say no more.

According to what he said today, he should have defended them. He said there should be nothing to stop sensible owner investment - which is exactly what Forest did and got penalised for. Not a word in defence of us, only piss take coming out of his smug mouth.
(I can’t speak for Everton, I don’t know enough about their circumstances)

Casemiro and Bruno having shockers.
Cant turn the ball over to Liverpool like that. Asking for trouble.
