we prefer the name slur alky around here

Noted, pal.

As a Liverpool fan I have no love for Manchester United (it’s the people at Barclays who put so much into our domestic game as a whole I’m most disappointed for) but it was a ridiculous red card. The logical follow through is that any attempt to play the ball with the foot above the ground is now illegal and that means any bicycle kick, whether there is a player in close proximity or not. That means Zlatan should have seen red for his bicycle kick goal against England. The comaparison above with the Eboue incident is poor one - Eboue wasn’t attempting to play the ball with his foot, he simply ploughed his foot into the Manchester United player’s chest - it was pretty similar to the Jason McAteer kung fu kick in Macedonia.

:rolleyes:

Sssshhhh…fuck sake Sidney.

Would you stop! To paraphrase Fergie-“Nani could have killed him”

Sid is drunk.

Jonjo Shelvey likes that Fergie is fuming.

where do you get the definition that it does not matter if a player is in close proximity based on last nights red card? there clearly was a player in close proximity, and was hit chest high by the boot of the opposing player. Why would you think its an automatic red card when there is no other player in close proximity?

its not logical, at all. and is the type of over reaction some retarded fans are currently spouting.

If you want a similar incident, Carlton Cole received a red card for pretty much the same thing against Everton. Its pretty hard for a ref to follow the flight of the ball and two players coming at it, and maintain that the offending player only had eyes on the ball. Replays help that, but I can see where he was coming from, even if I do disagree, and was like the Cole incident, which was subsequently successfully appealed.

If his foot was a little higher it was a chop to the wind pipe, jaysus, you can’t be doin that.

Nani was trying to control the ball with his foot. Eboue actually unbalanced himself and gave himself no chance of winning the ball by throwing his foot into the player.

Bollox, they were both reckless. Nani saw him, albeit late, and could have attempted to lower his foot, tho his momentum would still have barged into Arbeloa. By not doing so he nearly killed the player, the ref had to act… Arbeloa’s intestines are nearly visible in the aftermath

Let alone the big pink ring that Nani has clearly inflicted the Liverpool reject.

Logically according to the Nani decision this was a clear red card offence seeing as there was a defender in close proximity - he just chickened out of the challenge

Can I get clarification please - if a player attempts a bicycle lick and makes contact with an opponent or is in close proximity to an opponent - this should always be a sending off offence, right?

Yes-according to Roy Keane you should at all times know where the other 21 players are on the pitch and never try to bring the ball down out of the air. What Nani did last night was just above GBH but just below attempted murder.

So Rooney should have been sent off for that goal?
