hope klopp stops this game no point in second half refs in this country are are disgrace.

{Ed002's Note - Obviously Liverpool can refuse to play the second half if that is what Klopp wants. As for referees being a disgrace; would you be happy if an opposition player ran at a Liverpool player with his foot 6 feet in the air and kicked him in the head forcing him to be carried off? Woould you be screaming for him to stay on the pitch?

Is Klopp that stupid?}

It's a 50/ 50 challenge he earned his right to go for the ball, if it wasn't a keeper he'd of got a yellow, fact!

{Ed002's Note - You might want to read the guidance to the laws of the game. It is pitiful that yet again there are fans trying to defend a simple matter.}

Yellow card for me, but studs were showing, ref had no choice due to the directions he's received from his bosses. Not refs fault.

{Ed002's Note - So you think a foot six feet in the air, studs showing, and hitting the opposition player in the head is a yellow card?}

Oh come on Ed. He's got to go for the ball. If he nicks it that's a goal. Are you saying you would of pulled out of it? . He's unfortunate that the keeper has put his head in and he's come off in a bad way. If he wasn't hurt he wouldn't of been sent off.

{Ed002's Note - Really, only sent off because the player was hurt? Astonishing stuff.}

Love to hear the opinions on this considering when Nani did this and his high boot hit a player's chest. Liverpool fans said instant red.

Be interested to see how the opinions differ when it's a Liverpool player this time and he caught the player in the face with studs showing.

Carragher is correct. Instant Red. What's the difference with studs showing a foot off of the floor or five foot off of the floor?

The latter is far more dangerous in my opinion. It's a shame as the game was a good game. But a red nonetheless.

{Ed002's Note - You are wasting your time Syd.}

Come on Danny. It was a straight red. Ref got it spot on.

Harsh on Mane as he had eyes on the ball but he took Ederson out. Raised foot to the head? Definitely a red.

Sorry Danny but that is a red card, studs in the face . not got the ball. take the emotion out, whether he meant it or not it is a red card. Yes it ruins an entertaining game but it is still the correct decision.

Danny
Do you really not think that was dangerous from Mane?
Ref has made the correct decision.
The keeper was not ducking into the ball and Mane foot was head high.
Should be criticising Mane for not going with his head also to attempt to win the ball fairly.
He was making a genuine attempt to win the ball but chose the wrong option as to how to try to win it.

It's pityful that all the experts and fans of soccerball are wrong and ed002 who doesn't even follow a team really, is right as always.

man its a simple thing his foot his high and its a missed timed tackle. no intension to injure anyone but its a missed time tackle its a red . just let it go.

To be fair I think most players would have gone for that ball, but the red card is clear as day. He kicked him in the face for god's sake.

The goalie was sold out by his defence. Mane wasn't wrong for going for it, but he caught the keeper and he would have been lucky to get a yellow, so you can't really complain about a red. It wasn't malicios, and feel sorry for both Mane and their goalie. Hope he's okay.

If mane got the ball and took it down and scored would the ref called it back for a high foot?

{Ed002's Note - What are you talking about, is that the ball and the head? Or the ball only if the goalkeeper was nowhere near by? Hopeless, absolutely hopeless.}

I love how people think if Mane got the ball it would be a guaranteed goal xD even if he beat the keeper too the ball, he would have just launched it or it would of ricocheted off the keeper head anyway.
And the ref got it spot on. I don’t get the whole "he was out of his area so he was an outfield player" regarding the keeper. He still took stood to the face at some speed and looks to have fractured his cheek an jaw bones.

Its hardly hopeless. Its a genuine question. I'm not saying it wasn't a red or was. If the keeper had came out and mane knocks the ball over him and scores does the ref give a free kick against mane for a high foot?

{Ed002's Note - So did the goalkeepers head get hit by his foot or studs, how close was the goalkeeper - it is absolute nonsense and the standard attempt by a Liverpool fan to clutch at straws and feeble excuses. It was a red card, there was certainly no malice, but he had to be sent off.

But what if he was a minute earlier to the ground today and got that lucky heather from the old gypsy woman - would it still have been a red card?}

Embarrassing comments or just blind - not sure.

The ref wouldn't of called a foul if mane won the ball and scored so that tells you it wasn't a foul.

Both went for the ball. One got caught but it was 100% not a red card. Ruined the game. Moss isn't fit to ref in nt he prem anyway, maybe this will be the nail he needed.

Onto the next game.
