cambridgeshire canary 6,516 Posted October 17, 2020 https://streamja.com/A06mK Love to get everyones thoughts on this one. Just flies on in, studs up trying to snap Van Dijks leg... But it would seem he was the tinest of fractions offside so it doesnt count according to the ref. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) It’s something I’ve thought about for a while - awful challenge that’s injured a player but as he was offside it doesn’t matter....seems a bit ‘wrong’ somehow, Godfrey now on for his debut though...

I agree. If I punched someone when the ball was not in play, I would still be sent off. Pickford basically assaulted VVD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he's offside but come on, and to think both the ref and all at VAR thought this was fine Edited October 17, 2020 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a potential career ending lunge and to say it doesn't matter because of offside makes no sense. England had a player sent off after the Denmark game the other night so rules do still apply after the whistle has gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crispeduk 282 Posted October 17, 2020 9 minutes ago, cambridgeshire canary said: Godfrey being subbed on for Everton- Former Norwich player, see this thread is now Norwich related The tone of the BT commentary! You'd think that with the 'what a moment this is for him stuff .... wow that was a good block .... it's a tough ask for him predominantly a centre back having to go in at right back, Godfrey does incredibly well (gasp) etc etc .... that he'd never done this first team football thing before. Still, that Ancelloti chappy will be able to turn him into a Prem player, what with his development skills!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ELYOUKAYEE 37 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Awful challenge. Just a bang average, out of form keeper trying to injure another player to prove himself.. properly gone down in my estimations now Edited October 17, 2020 by ELYOUKAYEE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,808 Posted October 17, 2020 Desperation lunge by a keeper rather than anything malicious. Red would still be a defensible shout on that one though. The lead leg's not hit VVD square on, which would be your archetypical leg-snapper - Pickford's hit him coming through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Godfrey looked shaky at first but has grown into it, made some solid clearances (that diving header that punted the ball halfway down the pitch was impressive) and I'm sure everyone will be pleased when i point out how good hes looked when he gets forward and has played in midfield 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van Dijk was NOT offside so should have been a red. Interesting to see biased Andy Gray defending that tackle. Edited October 17, 2020 by paul moy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggy 739 Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Only red if violent conduct after an initial stoppage. Punch = red. Bad foul = not. Makes sense because you can’t send someone off if there technically isn’t a foul - and if VAR shows there’s an earlier offside then there isn’t a foul. Not really relevant here, but it does also make a mockery of this linesmen not putting their flag up and relying on VAR thing. Bad tackle comes in, ref gives a red. Oh hang on, striker was offside and linesman just didn’t bother putting his flag up so let’s overturn the red, give an offside and you’ve potentially got an injury that wouldn’t have happened if the flag had just gone up. In that sort of instance surely we need a law change so the red stands? Or that you basicslly class a red-card challenge as violent conduct?

Mason 47 1,351 Posted October 17, 2020 If you make that challenge on the halfway line as a midfielder, that's a red. No question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
