Dunning1874 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 How the f**k can anyone think that's not a red card? I'm the first one to criticise over-protection of goalkeepers, but he's got his foot ridiculously high and catches him in the face with his studs at speed. It's not one with a player dipping their head low either, the foot is just far too high. It's clearly reckless, it's a blatant red card and would have been had that challenge been made against an outfield player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studs first, well off the ground and into a players head. Ref can't do anything but send him off. If that had been Costa doing that to Joe Hart, or similar, they'd have gone off their heads at how bad a challenge it was. They like Mane so they're not being objective. Best point on the post. Well played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Bravo on to challenge Mignolet for shit goalkeeping. Mignolet moves ahead. Edit: goal disallowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it was an obviously dangerous, reckless challenge does mean it's a blatant red card though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was an outfield player would people be complaining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He fly kicked him in the face. It's literally the most obvious red card I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying with that comment is how disgraceful the way they treated the incident. It was a severe injury and they barely paid the goalie any mind instead they were making arguments why Mane shouldn't have got a red, why the ref is wrong and in general trying to excuse the challenge.

Jmothecat2 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 He's got to be entitled to go for that, he can't seriously not attempt to win the ball purely because the keeper is also going for it too. His studs weren't up and that's not a reckless challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His studs weren't up and that's not a reckless challenge. He literally studded him in the face! He is entitled to go for it. With his head, because it was far too high to go for with his foot without endangering an opponent. He used his foot and that's a clear red card regardless of his intent. Remember Nigel De Jong's kung-fu kick on Xabi Alonso in the 2010 World Cup final, when everyone unanimously agreed it should have been a red and it was a disgrace that it was only a yellow? Mane's challenge was higher, faster and more dangerous. There is absolutely no argument against that being a straight red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertlegend Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I don't think he can have any complaints, yes he went for the ball and no he didn't mean to cause any malice, but his feet were up and he was late, if he went I like that six inches of the ground and was similarly beaten to the ball and caught them at ankle height I doubt anyone would even question it.

Jaggy Snake Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I hope everyone saying that's not a red goes and watches their own team today, sees one of their own players get their head booted off and sits there calmly when the opposition player only gets a yellow.
