piffer Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Fourth red card of the season for Rangers today. Turning into the Sergio Ramos of Scottish football. A man who was incidentally sent off for the 24th time in his career yesterday and broke the La Liga record with 19. Whats the Scottish Record for reds in the top flight and in a season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenwick Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm sure only 2 have counted due to SFA bottling it.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I watched the incident again and think he will get off with it. His studs are up but all the momentum seems to come from May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullitt Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't think it was a sending off at all. He actually tried to play the ball with his instep. Definitely not a red card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmcc Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) He did play the ball, the whole of the ball in WMiller's words. My issue with it is the force of his follow-thru(ooof). May's ankle buckles therefore I'm inclined to think that Jack overdid the follow-thru (ooof*2) and must've been very close to breaking the guy's leg. Strange tho that the Pogba one, which again was a follow thru (sorry) incident again. Pogba knicked the ball away from Bellerin and his foot just naturally comes down on Hector's leg. See why they were both given, but I think the Pogba one was much less severe and I feel he was unlucky to get a red Edited December 4, 2017 by fmcc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Only a Rangers player can have a red card for headbutting another player rescinded. This one will be overturned too, and we move on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt Jack actually did nothing wrong and had May done the same he wouldn't have got injured. The Pogba one is strange too... I kind of get why both could be red cards but don't necessarily agree with either. As with May, Bellerin completely shat out the tackle. Pogba should never have been in a situation where he was standing on someones thigh had the opposing player tried to win the ball cleanly. Having said that, I don't think many would win a 50/50 with Pogba... the guy is absolutely insane**!

Bullitt Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Actually when you see it like this it looks horrific... in real time not so bad, but May is very lucky his ankle didn't snap! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thought Jack was unlucky to go ... it was a clean strike of the ball and May only got caught because HE was late getting to the ball. Pogba did well though ... managed to stand on both Bellerin's legs at the same time. I thought he moved his left leg in order to come down on the ankle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. It wasn't Jack's fault that May was late/shat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Baws! Jack could easily have missed May’s leg after having won the ball cleanly if he’d wanted to. The follow through action was unnecessary and was with excessive force endangering an opponent. The very definition of a red card these days. Same with Pogba, and telling Man Utd didn’t even bother appealing. ps it’s not the other player’s responsibility to “go in hard” to ensure not getting hurt - Bellerin spread his leg flat to block the ball rather than go in foot first, as he’s entitled to do. It’s also Pogba’s responsibility not to hurt him - or face the obvious consequences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdevoy Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Leading with studs up is reckless and dangerous and I've seen red dished out on MoTD and in Europe for a lot less force without any protest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
