Can't believe the amount of debate around that

Mane red card. I think it was one of the more obvious red card decisions you'll see in a football match.

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.

van Persie got that red vs Barcelona years ago for a far less obviously dangerous one

I think it was against PSV or Feyenoord?

Wasn't clear in real time as you don't see but very clear on the replay. wd ref for being in the right place for seeing that.

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

Dennis saving our blushes by chopping the centre half's legs off at the ankle :hehe:

Where have you been?

Even his fouling was classy.

Just been enjoying a break now all this football nonsense has started up again

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

The Mane card is questioned because he plays for Liverpool and the media is stuffed with scousers.

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

Carragher, Owen, McManaman and Thompson were all at it.

And are all full of it but that wasn't what fueled the debate. Lineker was another one saying it wasn't a red. God knows why

Neville had somewhat painted himself into a corner by lambasting the decision and then being a stubborn arse when the replays showed it had to be a red.

Strikers, you see. No idea about the spirit of the game.

[World's End Stella]

These sorts of red cards always cause a debate like this because everyone who has ever played the game knows that they almost certainly would have done what Mane did. It wasn't in any way malicious, it was just unlucky and given the number of malicious tackles that don't get a red, one like that always gets a bit of sympathy. 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.

To be fair, Carragher did say it was a red during the half time analysis

[Mo Britain less Europe]

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 :-)
