The Footie Thread

[PaulMdj]

If you think it’s not a bad tackle then fine

I think most football fans would disagree

But I’m not sure why you even brought it up in relationship to Son

Explained twice why I brought it up, it was to balance out your opinion of context:

Son, innocent, total accident. Despite it being a deliberate foul from behind with no intent to play the ball.

Pickford, tried to play the ball, 2 players challenging. No way! Deliberate foul, definite red card

Watch the video of both incidents, Son, Everton players going mad at Ref.

Pickford, no fuss from Lpool players, actually stood around chatting with Pickford!

Players understand what they see on the pitch.

People have done it yes. How many times tho? There is a pattern with son

Snodgrass kick out.
Red card Vs Bournemouth
Gomez leg break
Rudiger kick out

Now after he broke Gomez leg there was this Campaign that son was the cleanest player in the game, never so much as looked at a player the wrong way

Could buy that if he didn't do those snide fouls on a regular basis

The Snodgrass one was nothing, you've just invented your own version of that one. I can't find a decent video of the Bournemouth one but it looks like he's lashed out after getting a kick from someone else, and he's been caught and red carded. These things happen. The Gomes one was a very ordinary mistimed tackle and Gomes had an incredibly unlucky bad landing - practically everyone in football unanimously agreed it was a yellow card challenge. Yes he shouldn't have kicked out at Rudiger, but Rudiger is the type to wind you up all game. These are run of the mill events that happen to every top player over time. He doesn't come out and pretend to be an angel, that is other people's perception, rightly or wrongly.

Players understand what they see on the pitch.

1. No one said Sons tackle was “innocent” , it was a petulant tackle , he tripped him deliberately which is a yellow card offence - the resulting injury was a secondary incident from the trip with him getting caught under the Everton player and studs getting caught in the turf

2. Pickford took out VVD late and high and is a red card offence

Not sure what the other players reactions have to do with it

The Everton will react because it was a horrific injury and it’s not a surprise players reacted

They are two seperate incidents and that have no relevance to each other

This thread is something else, honestly. How have we ended up debating a Son incident from five years ago and a Pickford incident from four years ago?

Honestly trying to catch up and I'm so lost

A desire for individuals to prove their point no matter how mind numbing it is and no matter how far back they need to go to prove it?

Because the weather has been rubbish, we haven't been able to play golf and we've all gone a bit stir crazy.

Anyway, let's get back to Spurs pub team level of defending

All started by a Man Utd fan.

Or people defending their clubs players although Spurs might be better

You can't make me - that punishment is way too overzealous for the crime.

I'm pointing no fingers as I've been roped into it hook line and sinker.

Don’t think spurs are better defending anything

Let’s turn it around to once you’ve punched him it’s his turn then

Oh, believe me, I wouldn't even think about daring. It's just the face. It just looks like it needs to come into contact with something hard. (Which ain't me ...)

Rather than doubling up on the Gomes incident, initial views can be read in the link below.

Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

Top finish from Dele! Maybe he should have started up top, we have lacked any presence up there.

1. It’s a football team - it’s not “England” , stop even attempting to attach patriotism with a football 2. Stu said I like to watch them fail as opposed to being desperately wanting them to fail , I suspect he doesn’t give a monkeys what happens but enjoys it when they fail 3. People in many...

Petition to rename the thread 'Groundhog Day'.

 

[Don Barzini]

As long as you are certain

I guess there's always a seed of doubt!

 

[PaulMdj]

Petition to rename the thread 'Groundhog Day'.

Nope, as we’d only get it confused with the Liv or EV or threads about ripped jeans

 

[Bdill93]

Have I missed the discussion on Dan Ashworth leaving United already?

What on earth is going on there!!

 

[Arthur Wedge]

I’m sure we can all agree that Troy Deeney is the worst addition to the MOTD team
