[GP]

Irrelevant really. You go in dangerously (though this was only given as a yellow) these kind of things happen.

Should have been a straight red, never mind a yellow.

[Cripps_orig]

Indeed, you dismiss him as a chequebook manager.

Exactly and have done so for years.

Still take him over Wenger as we all would though as we have a chequebook now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

But it wasn't dangerous.

He got the ball.

Or should we ban tackles altogether?

There will always be some contact. Horrendous decision

Was he in control of his body? You admitted that he wasn't, however this was given as a yellow card offence anyway so it's not like you can be arguing against it being a straight red. Getting the ball doesn't mean you can go in however you want, it was a foul, he had been booked, he received another.

[Cripps_orig]

Are you in control of your body in any sliding challenge?

There will always be a follow through. No one can stop in mid air. There will be a collision. It's a contact sport.

Had he missed the ball and his foot went in to Gotze in the same way then fair enough but the fact he got the ball, his only intention was getting the ball, he should have stayed on. It was Gotze who wasn't looking at the ball

what happens if he had broken goeztes leg?

what happens if he had broken goeztes leg?

Not every broken leg is from a dirty tackle.

It happens.

This wasn't a sliding tackle.



I don't understand how you can dismiss as that 'got the ball, fair game'. Look at what his right leg does!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Talking of sliding tackles

[Ollie the Optimist]

mourinho said that the ref shouldh ave let ramires stay on the pitch even if it was a second bookable offence because it was a final.


and people says wenger comes out with bullshit?
