Try watching the actual video footage. For me it's pretty clear that it's a lazy attempt to win the ball, there is barely any force, he almost pulls out altogether. He wouldn't do that if he were trying to injure the player. So yes it was a red card, but any claims of intent are ridiculous.
As I was squeezing through a crowd in a night club, a girl pinched my arse.I just think as men, we should all think about what we can and can't do. I agree that grabbing hold of womens arses is dumb and unpleasent. Just don't agree it warrants a full blown police intervention.
Obviously a more serious act, intimidations, threatening, actual physical assault etc.
I once had to sit through a half a day course at work (all employees) telling me what I can and can't do to women. As a generally decent human being, I don't do that anyway.
I did however ask "why is it only wrong if a man does that to a woman?"
She - yes, it was a woman doing the course stumbled a bit but then said it should be applied to all. I met my wife at work. She grabbed hold of me at a Christmas party. Maybe I should have phoned the policy instead of texting her the next day.
Was only on the pitch a few mins and dispossessed the opposition twice and blocked a shot at the end. I think he'll take a while to earn Conte's trust but he'll be a good player for us. Ability to win balls other players wouldn't even think of going for will launch us on many counter attacks in the coming years.I'm putting his last performance down to nerves and won't be judging him on it.. Tbh didn't catch much of anything from him 2 tonight, thoughts anyone ?
Sorry I don’t agree here. Dembele’s job was not to score or assist. It was to put other players in the best situation to score/assist and he did that perfectly.yea cos they couldn't get the ball off him. but for someone who can keep the ball so well individually, shouldn't his assist and goal stats be through the roof? especially assists. 12 assists and 12 goals in over 240 games for a player who could keep the ball so well dribbling....not a good return
its all good keeping the ball but you have to actually produce something from it otherwise its all for nothing.
Bissouma, Bentancur & Maddison could well be the fan favourites come the end of the season. The system is geared up for them to thrive.I was so disappointed how last season went for him. If he can stay healthy this year we could be in for a real treat. If Bentacur can get back soon they could be an immense combo for us.
Someone described Rice pretty well on Woolwich mania.Rice is good player, energetic, his defending is great. But he’s nowhere near Bissouma in terms of footballing ability.
LMAO no he didn't, he rashly caught him below the knee. He didn't deliberately target it, it was an ill-judged, poorly-timed tackle. No more, no less.Mate, Bissouma went for the knee.
