    That tackle on Salah in the box there is an example of something that's always confused me. Why is it if you were tackled late outside the box you'd get a freekick but if you're tackled late inside the box after you've had a shot it's not a foul?

    I thought the exact same thing.

    I don't think there's anything less sustainable than non league trying to play 42 game seasons. Even a bit of rain normally causes teams to have 5/6 games in hand.

    Aye. That match was originally postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. Also, that 18/42 appears to be a mild lie. That was our 25th league game. Top goes straight up, next six go to playoffs.

    IIRC the first yellow can only count if you've done a horror tackle and they've played advantage and then you've done another yellow card offence.

    We look ridiculous. The favela cunt already looks up to speed so that's injury to Salah/Mane covered and that midfield depth makes claims of us being light there so good Trent and Alisson stay fit and we're getting no less than a double.

    It feels like you’ve drawn every single game this season against anyone half decent or away from home. I think the defence will get exposed too much in the Champions League to win it. Fuck knows who is winning it though. City won’t, they’ll lose in a lol fashion. Chelsea aren’t winning anything with Sarr or Alonso at left back. Real Madrid’s pensioner midfield won’t be carried by Vini all the way.
    Man Utd are going all the way

    Really? Because if so that's bollocks.

    I'm with Michael Oliver on this one. You can't forget about the first foul just because advantage was played and then he went and did another one. Should have been a straight red for naivety.

    Jota is looking really good this season. Didn't realise till yesterday that he was second top scorer behind Salah.

    Not sure there can be any argument with the Martinelli sending off, I thought he could have gone for the initial one the clown.

    Of course you can - why would you not be able to send him off. Playing an advantage doesn't remove the initial foul or yellow card.

    I don't see the red. Both are borderline yellow and given the poor lad doesn't know he's on a yellow, you'd give the benefit of the doubt. Put it like this, some English sweetheart like Saka or Foden ain't getting the same treatment, the favela tax is high.

    What? Both were the clearest yellow cards you could give

    By borderline I mean there wouldn't he uproar if either of them weren't given as isolated moments in a game. Factor in thay they've just occured B2B and punishing both results in a red and it's a bit autistic to go through with it when you can see the player is riled up momentarily and just needs to be talked to and calmed down (after brandishing a yellow obvs).

    The ref has clearly decided between both offences that the first one in his mind is a nailed on yellow card, so when he goes and does the second one moments later, internally the ref now has a dilemma. It was odd to see, but he's 100% right in my view. He'd be doing himself a disservice if he bottled it and let him off with the first one, even if the audience would be none the wiser.

    Being "riled up momentarily" isn't a defence against being sent off.

    Jesus, you ok hun?

    It's about reffing the game as a human rather than a computer. There are emotions involved, if a player lashes out by all means get him off but Martinelli just has the red mist at being dispossessed and carries out 2 soft offences.

    The Don logic is just first rule of refereeing (always make the most cowardly available decision) - although this time he didn't, so fair fucks to Michael Oliver who is probably the best there is as far as England is concerned.

    That flamboyant Spanish ref always seems great to me but apparently the fans over there think he's awful. Maybe they just hate Llamas.

    Jürgen Klopp has described Luis Díaz’s full Liverpool debut as “one of the best I ever saw” while insisting the new signing needs time to adapt to the Premier League.
    Well clearly he never saw Woodgate's Real Madrid debut.

    Interfering with a throw in like that was a nailed on yellow card so he could never expect a free hit by fouling the player who was given the advantage on the back of his other foul.

    The great thing about Ronaldo is that while he might be a lumbering oaf these days at least he'll definitely score any good chances that come his way.

    Southampton are a proper mess defensively. Fun to watch but I wouldn’t be surprised if Man Utd score 4/5 as Southampton are the perfect team for them.

    Broja might score a few himself mind
