The Footie Thread

If a player can be red carded after the final whistle has been blown, why can’t Pickford have been carded?
if an outfield player had done that they would have been red carded straight away regardless of where and when.

One Brighton player did (Dunk I think) on Cahill and he was sent off for it.

Why do you keep replying? Are you really so oblivious to your hypocrisy here?

He's still cryarsing over the Miller offside 18months ago.

The fact there have been 7 other games this weekend which probably have a total of 1 page worth of postings

The Derby itself was ok has just dragged on because of a missed red card

Get over it

Your the first to moan about other teams banging on about Injuries... Poor officials .. etc yet soon as it happens against your lot you won't shut up about it

Nobody talking about how villa stayed up on a Hawkeye failing. They should have one less point .. but I bet your lot will be banging on and on about this when it costs the title .. will be we should be back to back champs if not for Pickford..

Always the same.

Again as you appear to not be able to read

If you don’t want to read what’s posted then move along and ignore it

It’s a very high profile event in an very big game that resulted in a big player being injured for the season -the media , pundits , radio , social media will still talk about it because of the impact it has had

I don’t know what this “first to moan” about other teams etc etc

What does the Villa incident have to do with anything? It was discussed at the time it happened months ago

“Your lot” “ always the same” - such a classy individual aren’t you ?

And yet who made it personal first eh? Grow up Phil

Don't give it if you can't take it

Glad of your explanation between the two.

If Richarlison's would have been after a whistle had gone, would this have been the same then? I highly doubt it.

You may not agree with the explanation, you may also have been sarcastic in your reply and I have not picked it up , but I'm comfortable it stands up.

On Richarlison, if the whistle had gone and he still followed through then you can make a case for violent conduct as the challenge would have been unnecessary. If we start doing what ifs though we can go around in circles. We can only go on the incidents that actually happened.

Ok guys
Time to calm down and call time on the Pickford V VVD incident.

Thank you

There was a ref on 5live a couple weeks ago about incidents happening after the whistle when they were discussing the penalty at Brighton

His belief was that the whistle doesn’t stop any action that can happen which could result in a red card.

But this whole thing has come about because of this dont but the flag up straight away - if the linesman had put his flag up straight away - whistle gone , Pickford would have stopped game carries on - because I believe the flag doesn’t go up until VVD goes for the ball then Pickford commits and the incident happens

I can understand why they want the flag to stay down then check after but something like this was going to happen

 

[AmandaJR]

Please make it stop - enough now surely

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Moving the chat on, how big a leap can Calvert-Lewin do? The jump, hang time and then power. Phenomenal stuff from him right now.

Great to see some English strikers in him, Kane and Ings knocking them in regularly.

If he who can't be named wasn't assaulted, DCL gets nowhere near that ball ?

While I agree generally that the late flag protocol is a ridiculous and potentially dangerous - in this case I don't think it would have changed things because both players would have still gone for the ball before checking whether the flag was up or not. Generally though you're right, there will potentially be other injuries like this due to flags not going up.

I never rated DCL before but he appears to have come on leaps and bounds this season. Credit to Ancelotti, and maybe a bit for Duncan Ferguson as well. Ings on the other hand I think always had the quality, but injuries stopped him getting a run in the team anywhere - finally had a good year and a half without injuries and he's showed what he can do.

Thing is though that’s just one refs opinion.
There seems to be a big difference in opinion between different referees.
No wonder there is confusion in the game.
Keeping the flag down is just lazy officiating and letting the tech take over.
For really tight ones ( poss level ) fair enough ,but some are miles off.

He is looking superb at the moment , that was his one chance and he took it , seems thats how he has been so far. Seems to be a pure finisher - which seems to suit the set up at Everton ,would have been a good battle with VVD but was very clever going onto Robbo who clearly isn’t going to out jump - interesting season ahead for him

Man Utd looking for a new finisher ?

 

[Deleted member 29109]

So surgery for VVD - they haven’t said how bad the damage is but see a few say it’s not a full tear , so not 100% out for the season but either way it’s a huge loss.

Also it appears that the VAR ref didn’t think the two footed lunge was dangerous - no wonder he has been suspended from games before

It was a strange attempt at a tackle. But it wasn't a two footed lunge.

The hysteria following this game is rediculous. Liverpool fans have become the new ManU fans.

They would only ruin him . Not sure Man Utd would be that tempting for him right now and I'd like to think we have the money to keep him now. Ancelotti is building something, the owner has deep pockets. Saying all that, Utd have been desperate for a few years and if they come in and offer to triple his wages..........
