Euros 2020 (15 Viewers)

There's a similar rule in icehockey: If your stick hits someone in the face you get a 2 minute penalty regardless of how/why it happened.
 
I pretty much agree with all of this. Still, the rules say that it's still a red card. Swedish television have scrutinized the rules and it's a clear red since he put the other player at considerable danger (albeit unintentionally and with a "legal clearance").
I’ve watched it several times. It’s a controlled clearance. He’s not reckless or out of control. I’d be raging if that was my player being sent off for that. The Ukrainian boy is unlucky but there’s no malice or intent in the clearance.

In the Scottish Premier League the Ukrainian boy would have been booked for simulation :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I think there are two discussions here: What the rule is, and what the rule should be. :-)

And of course: What the rule is in Scotland :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I'll just leave this here

He’s cleared the ball. Impossible for his studs not to be up. Other guy runs into him. Nasty looking injury but unintentional. It’s a contact sport. These things happen.
Not anymore, the games annoyingly soft now. If you can't make a great clearance and satisfyingly crunch the defender afterwards why even be a defender lol
 
Actually I just found this pic. Clear red lol what a savage tackle

Here’s the moment he clears the ball. He still has one foot on the ground and his studs aren’t up. His leg has to follow through and the other guy runs into him. I know that it looks bad but there’s no recklessness or malice in that clearance.

Honestly at halftime during the Sweden Ukraine game the BBC didn’t mention Sweden or Ukraine once. They just spoke about how this is “England’s year” and that the trophy has their name on it. Clowns :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I honestly don't know what else you want the defender to do; he's not going to just let the attacker get the ball. The attacker is displaying no self preservation, and is the one that actually brings the force into the collision. Horrible outcome, but I can't see what the defender did wrong. Maybe call it careless and give him a yellow, but it's not a red.
 
I'm almost as happy that the Swiss beat the French as I am that England beat the krauts
 
Are we really that much hated?
Well I think the French/English rivalry is fairly mutual wouldn't you say lol.

And the French team doesn't have any arsenal players these days, so I have zero reason to want them to do well.
 
Not at all, I just like to root for the underdog

I was joking of course, we just didn't measure up to the event
 
Regarding the red card, I thought I'd post a quote by Jonas Eriksson, a referee who is currently working for Swedish television to explain rules/decisions etc for the viewers. He is really good at helping the viewers understand the reasons and methodology behind how the decisions are taken.

"The red card is completely correct. The tackle jeopardizes the opponent's safety - even if there is no intention or if the Ukrainian actually runs into Danielsson's outstretched legs or feet. The intention is always a subordinate consequence when it comes to unfair play. That is, what happens is more important than the player's intention."

So arguments like "he struck the ball first", "it was unintentional", "the Ukrainian ran into him" don't really matter in this case. I haven't fact checked him, so if someone can find a source that contradicts him (apart from Gary Lineker) then I'm all ears. :)

FWIW, I didn't think it was a red until Jonas explained the rule.

Yes.

EDIT: Sorry! I thought you were Norwegian!! No, you aren't :)
 
What's up with Rabiot's mom?
She is completely crazy...
A priori, she would have inveighed Wilfried Mbappé (father) by deploring the "smugness with which his son had shot and missed the penalty" and to reframe him because she found him too arrogant.

I say a priori, because these are only statements of the medias and not from the interested parties. There was no expert in lip-reading to confirm this either.

Mark Clattenburg said it was definitely a red for the same reasons you stated live on the broadcast, while they were still doing the VAR check.

Yep, if that’s the rule, it’s obviously a red.

I guess the defender IS supposed to pull out of challenge - if the burden on care lies with the player in the more “stable” position at point of impact. Or maybe put his body in a position so that when the two players inevitably collide, its his leg that is destroyed by the Ukrainian, and then hope the rule applies in his favour!

An odd situation.
 
I've flung myself into so many challenges over the years and I have never even come close to doing that to someone's knee or leg. That's some serious follow through.
 
If the red card was correct by rule, then the rule sucks. Contact happens, both were going after the ball, the defender got there first and played the ball.

Bit by bit they’re killing the game. So now defenders shouldn’t stretch for a clearance in case someone runs on to their outstretched leg? Game’s gone soft :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Wouldn’t have been a yellow card in Scotland. Probably why we get so many red cards in Europe :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I'm all for a heavy tackle, but that was a potential career ender. I'd be look to end someone's life in the revenge tackle if I got one of those put on me lol
