When they have to explain the handball rule is when you know something is wrong.

That’s a red for me.Charity FC strikes again.
Twice in two weeks we've allowed strikers who score once a blue moon to get back on the score sheet.
forest were terrible - but I'm still perplexed as to how Tarky didn't get a yellow card for his off the ball incident on Ndoye.
Shithouse challenge from behind minus the ball.
He will have a whiplash claim though.

Just seen it on ref watch .
He did see it and blew his whistle straight away.
He was looking right at it.
Okay, he didn't give a yellow though so it stays the same. VAR doesn't give yellows.
Equally, he probably saw it as 6 of one......It certainly was not a red

Six of one dosnt include attacking someone from behind.

Ronaldo thought it was a good idea.Couple of things. Re Ronaldo, who on earth thought it a good idea for Ronaldo to be interviewed by Piers Morgan who is a known die hard Arseole, and known Arsenal fan. It’s beyond me. Maybe do the interview but not with him.
Talking of Arsenal, watching that video where they are chucking themselves on the ground. There’s a lot of negativity going on there with an expectation that “ we should not of lost”. That could well be their downfall. I would imagine if that was City one or two words would be said in the changing room. Looked like a gaggle of sulking teenagers to me, just like watching Kevin and Perry.
Mint video though for the neutrals
It wasn't an interview that Man Utd organised.

Please don’t ask to see my tatts 👍
Surely his agent said otherwise or didn’t he care.

It did in the Brighton game.!
Two players tackled the same guy result yellow card.
I know it’s for mistaken identity but why that and not assaulting someone from behind.
Made up rules hamstringing themselves.

I wonder when Salah will be on with Piers?

Well, when I said Ronaldo, I really meant Ronaldo and his advisors.
Yes, his agent thought it was a good idea (I assume he has one). And, let's be fair. He was correct. How much money would he have made out of Ronaldo moving to Saudi Arabia?
I don't know if we are thinking of different incidents. Was it the one off the ball when Tarko put his shoulder in his back of the guy after some argy bargy and the Forest guy dropped down poleaxed?

No we’re not.
Well just have to agree to disagree.
That’s because he was poleaxed with excessive force from behind off the ball.

I only saw it once, but it did look like an intentional move forward into the player, and he hit him with force. Barging into a player like that can stun them. Probably won't cause a bad injury, unless something goes in their back.
I feel it is an example where, if you slap a player with no force, it is a red card because you used your hand. But, as long as you don't use your hand, elbow or foot, you probably get away with much harder intentional contact if you just use your body. Possibly another example where the rules, or their interpretation, don't make a lot of sense.

Piers Morgan is 100% infatuated , full blown man crush on Ronaldo
And because Morgan will never dare to ask Ronaldo any “tough” questions and will always bow to his feet then Ronaldo is more than happy to publicly talk to him

Yeah I don't think it's enough for a red. It's a solid yellow card, but as you say, VAR won't do that because of their stupid self-imposed hand-tying.
I should add, it was very stupid of Tarkowski. Not full on Paqueta stupid but still stupid.

2026 World Cup: 'Pride Match' to feature Egypt and Iran - where homosexuality is illegal
A 2026 World Cup fixture designated by organisers as an LGBTQ+ 'Pride Match' will feature two countries where homosexuality is illegal.

Did a bit of analysis on Chelsea’s results/fixtures.
The highest league position of any team we’ve beaten this year is Liverpool, in 9th.
We haven’t played away from home against any of the other top 9 sides.
4 of our 7 wins are against the bottom 4 (Ange’s Forest, Wolves, West Ham and Burnley).
The 4 teams we haven’t played are City, Newcastle, Everton and Villa. 3 in the top 6, and Newcastle in 11th.
My conclusion: sack Maresca (well, do it in January).
We’re likely to be bottom half by January and our league position is mostly due to having outrageously easy fixtures.

Not a shock that Salah isn’t in the CL squad for tomorrow
Reckon he would have started as well
