Agreed... go in studs up knee high and catch the player and you are likely to be off..... head high studs showing (and catch him in the face) and there is no choice.Quote:

Was it? I was sure it was yet another robbery against Barca. :old:Quote:

The Barcelona red card was for playing the ball after the referee had blown even though the whistle was clearly inaudible.Quote:

Yes - the debate was led by that well-known Liverpool lover Gary Neville :hehe:Quote:

I remember enjoying tremendously the red card given to Nani (I think) thereby knocking ManU out of the CL in Ferguson's last season.
It was less of a red card but, like Mane's, a red card nonetheless.

Backtracked sort of, after the 90 minutes.
That's right, I think; if it's my striker, I want him to go for that ball and damn the consequences. Or at least, take a chance on the officials' judgement. And score obviously. On the other hand, if it's my goalkeeper, I want the forward sent off, banned and warned as to his future conduct :-)Quote:
