LOL.... It really doesn't.
Every game he does something that seems to risk getting sent off like yesterday or going in hard on someone and just about getting that ball. In other words he plays on the edge. What a fantastic player though!
Who the fuck are you? Fuck off
If a Chelsea player had done the same would you argue that wouldn’t deserve a 3 match ban?
Genuinely curious.
...but he pulled Cucu's hair FFS. What's the matter with you?
Apparently the rule-book considers it "violent conduct" and thus a straight red..... So, I guess what I think it deserves is moot.
However, personally I see it more akin to shoving and shirt pulling than I do a punch or a headbutt and less 'violent' than a lot of professional fouls.
Its just a hair pull no biggie. I do it to my wife all the time and she loves it :contelol:
I'd rather be shoved or have my shirt pulled than have somebody actually grab hold of the back of my hair and chuck me to the ground.
He's got edge to his game & on this occasion got away with one but nobody could really have complained if he'd been sent off. VAR/refs will have a very close eye on him now as it's roundly considered he got away with one.
People will say 'clever' and 'dark arts' and it always is till it doesn't pay off & your best defender is out for key games.
He didn't "chuck" him anywhere......
In that situ all he's really doing is using his momentum and the element of suprise against him.
What you asked me was do I think it is deserving of a 3 match ban? No..... Not really.
Like I said, I don't really consider it violent to any significant degree..... If you do c'est la via.
Let me ask you this.... Is it more "violent" than Cucurella deliberately stamping on Romero's knee in the first half?
I've seen far more "violent' things against us go un-punished in the past
I've heard mugs tonight saying it was worse than Nunez's headbut which is fucking ridiculous.
As far as "dark arts" goes it wasn't particularly 'artistic'.
It was a red card. He grabs his hair and then yanks him to the ground. Every referee I’ve seen analyse it has said it’s a red card for violent conduct. Red cards for violent conduct equate to three match bans.
It’s really that simple in my eyes. I’m glad we got away with it & it’s hilarious it happened to fuck over Chelsea. But this forum would be up in arms about corruption & how their players are scum if the situation was reversed.
It wasn’t worse than the Nunez headbutt and yes, there are many worse forms of violent conduct. As for the Cucurella incident .. come the fuck on. We’re better than pretending it was deliberate. It was two players colliding.
To which extreme, you're over-stating it.
I've said as much myself already. I acknowledged what the rule-book says from the off. I'm not sure why you feel the need to emphasise this.
(The fact remains I could have done much the same with a shirt pull and it would have been no less dangerous and yet would have got a yellow at most.)
As the saying goes, "the rule-book is an ass".
As it stands we've got a manager facing a mult-match ban for having his arm pulled.
So suddenly only we're the one's capable of shit-housing now? :roll:
That was easily avoided and he chose not to.
I think you’re seeing all these situations through very white tinted glasses & we’ll have to agree to disagree on essentially all of it.
Let’s just be content with the fact he didn’t get sent off & what he did possibly unsettled Chelsea and helped us equalise. Sometimes it goes your way.
