I think he assessed it as yellow straight away as there was another covering defender. Agree on the ‘studs up’ though, they only appear to be red if you don’t play for one of the ‘top 6’.

If the rule was a red any time both feet were off the ground there’d be a sending off every time anyone went up for a header! studs aren’t up, leg is sideways, not over the top of the ball, contact made with the top of his boot. Drmic had both feet off the ground at time of contact, both with studs up, one over the top of the ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drmic had both feet off the ground at time of contact, both with studs up, one over the top of the ball. It isn't about the feet the way you describe it. It is about both being off the ground and being out of control. And he was out of control. Referees are to be ordered to punish all two-footed challenges with red cards in a hardline move to clear up confusion over dangerous tackles. An imminent instruction from referees’ chief Mike Riley will apply whether or not there is contact or injury to an opponent — and even if the ball is won first.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 1, 2020 VAR or not, why are players so concerned with getting an opponent booked or sent off? Remember Buendia's love tap that had the player rolling around in agony. So many are more adept at cheating than anything else. To be honest, I would ban action replays during a live game. Show them after but it isn't helping with the Drone that is Murphy, throwing in his so called knowledge. We don't need him. Just the commentator and no replays until the game is over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but at point of contact he has one foot on the ground. Surely it’s about when the tackle is made not what happens before the tackle is made? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so why was Drmic sent off, minimal contact was actually made, not that you’d know from the reaction of player and bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 1, 2020 As an aside, seeing all the suited men holding doors open at Wembley. Who are all the blokes in suits standing in the tunnel at Carrow Road during a game? They look a bit old to be security. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
