It’s nowhere near violent conduct ?‍ Or serious foul play

It’s the sort of tackle that Fernandino perfected each match

@LFC4LIFENET wrote on Twitter: 'Very surprised the Trippier ‘tackle’ was changed from red to a yellow'

Another supporter agreed, writing: 'I simply don't understand PL refereeing. That is a clear and uncontroversial red card. Trippier f***ing jumps and kicks him in the knee at full sprint on a counter, which is both dangerous and stops a promising attack. How is a yellow fair.
End:
Who's Fernandino?
I think the difference with that one and the Fernandinho (presumably) ones I've seen is that Fernandinho's intended first contact was the ball! So often, as you state, perfected!
Tripper's was nowhere near the ball, and I doubt was ever intended to be the ball!

But the old saying about opinions and ani applies!

Does this now mean they cheat? Or, worse still if urban dictionary definitions are used...Cheets? Note: I looked the latter up; it wasn't something I knew!
FWIW, there's a South African Rugby team named The Cheetahs already.

This article ?

why didn’t you also post the multiple comments that said it wasn’t a red and Var worked well ?‍

And Fernandino on many occasions was nowhere near the ball - he was the master of the tactical foul to stop many attack

 

[Piece]

Rashford gets nod over Ronaldo...

 

[pokerjoke]

Finally a manager with some balls dropping big players.
Big call
Hope it works for him,poo or bust.

Let’s be honest every debate on hear is 50/50
That’s why when people go on for days debating the same thing over and over,they are basically wasting their lives.

That vid isn't about Fernandino!

But Fernandinho never seemed deliberately violent (though perhaps by accident/consequence) as Tripper was. Which is why the Red wasn't a surprise - to me.
FWIW. I believe VAR DID work well, though I wouldn't have been surprised if they had NOT overturned the decision!

No. A different one, but with much of the same content. Oh and the reason I didn't comment that there were 'nay, not a Red' was that cut/paste of the article was playing up, so I never got past the page or so of ads that followed the 'It was a Red' section.

Have Liverpool got a lot of injuries at the minute? Their bench looks a bit light on recognisable names. Starting eleven looks reasonable enough but there doesn't seem to be a lot in reserve.

Hopefully the tackles will get spicier and they can kick lumps out of each other.
