Redsteve, did the player head the ball first and get a face full of Ritchie's studs? If the answer is no then, you are deflecting and making other LFC supporters look bad. Mane deserved the red and, end of story.

Sorry bingo, looked to me like Ritchie was also "endangering an opponent". And you can be sure if a couple of Swansea players had started waving imaginary cards and surrounding the ref it would have been red.

He missed Mawson's chin by inches, Bingo. I don't think that's enough to put it outside the realm of 'endangering an opponent' under the FA's serious foul play rules that Mane was (rightly) sent off under.

Ritchie should've been off. Steve is right to call out the lack of consistency.

did you hear me say MANE didn't deserve a red i said refs are not consistent--MANE got sent off for his foot being high and showing his studs richies was exactly the same so one gets red one gets yellow we miss mane for 3 matches Richie keeps playing.

{Ed025's Note - and thats unfair steve, both should be suspended mate..

Remember when Gary Cahill went for a ball with his head and put Ryan Mason in a coma Bingo?

All 50/ 50 challenges are dangerous irrespective of which body part is used. Ederson was quicker and Mane should've been yellow carded for being late.

If you want players to shirk going for the ball to avoid collisions, watch netball.

Ederson is alive last time i checked.

{Ed025's Note - he was that late he nearly missed the last bus home MK, it was a red all day mate..

MK your deluded mate. It was red all day long. Why are some of you still arguing the toss. If they had been the other way round and a yellow was shown you'd be fuming. It was red, and that's why it won't be recinded. Move on.

Ederson nearly broke Mane's foot with that challenge. Violent use of the face. No 50/ 50 about it, Ederson should have gone. Don't get me started on Everton and their amazing transfer window. They saw they bought they erm, well it's early days right ed025 😁.

Didn't Mane's studs supposedly catch Ederson Everton on top of his head? So why was he wearing band aids on his right side of his cheek/ chin when posing for social media photos an hour after being "knocked out". City would have won anyway, but I'm calling it as I see it, there was no intent, no contact and Ederson feigned injury. If Mane had caught him, there would have been blood on his head and he'd have been rolling around on the floor like he'd been shot. Please tell me how he got knocked unconscious by raking studs? The only contact was Mane and the keeper's bodies colliding. A City player went in with 2 feet off the ground on Mignolet around the 60th minute but Mignolet didn't roll around like he'd been shot. I hope the panel that investigate diving will look into Ederson's play acting but no doubt they won't.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think sherlock holmes,s job is in any danger to be honest kev. :)

MK and Redsteve, if you want to keep embarrassing yourselves and defending the indefensible by providing pointless scenarios and excuses to support your non-point then have at it. You will be the emblems of the blinkered LFC fans that rival fans love to use as a stick to beat the rest of us with.

As for your comment to watch "netball" MK, I played football at every level BUT the pros and sustained all types of facial injuries from kicks to elbows to the face (I still have the scars on both eyelids till this day) so you have nothing to teach me on this topic. The issue is playing smart and not hard. Raising your foot to make contact with a head challenge is just stupid and not smart. Mane played hard, not smart and got sent off. FACT.

bingo
FACT tell me were im defending MANE? . ill put it in plain English for you MANE deserved his red card and so did richie for the same type of challange my point was the inconsistacy of refs.

Richie didn't make contact. Massive difference. Some of the stuff you Liverpool fans is so delusional it makes me think your not right in the head. Ritchie's was dangerous hence the yellow card, mane's was dangerous and serious foul play. Definite red.

And all this about how he had to go for the ball, yes he did but with his head, high foot on football is not allowed.

Glad you said high foot on football at the end Olber, not high foot on head because Mane didn't touch the keeper's head. Sherlock Holmes would blow this case wide open to be fair but I heard he's busy on the Rooney drink driving/ friendly deed case currently 😆.

The fact that Richie didn't make contact is irrelevant.
The intent was there.

If a player flies 2 footed into a tackle but misses the player, the intent is there and it's a red card.

Lets see the FA now take action against the ref for not sending off Richie. but I won't hold my breath.

The Refs are consistently bad with these decisions, if they would get the calls correct, the players wouldn't take such chances.

Newcastle player also blatantly dives in the box and not even a yellow.
The same player committed several fouls yesterday and could have easily been sent off, but the ref did nothing and Newcastle won. No-one complains because it's Swansea, no disrespect intended, but if it was a "bigger" club, people would be calling for the refs head

Again, refs are too consistently bad and nothing gets done about it.

Whether there ws contact should not matter. Either it is consistently a red or a yellow. So it one was smart enough to move his head out of the way of a 5 ft high football boot, then the challenge is ok? While another is dumb enough to go into the boot hard, it is a red?


16.) 11 Sep 2017

red all day, under the current rules. but honestly I'd like the rules and the interpretations changed so that incidents like Mane's and Ritchie's carry a maximum yellow card in the match. I think it is far too much to ask referees to make a judgement call live on the field with no replays available to them. make use of a judiciary system to review these incidents after the match where you can use evidence etc.

intent isn't in the rules, so ya'll can forget about referencing "intent" anywhere.
