So which of these two would a red card for violent conduct would this fall under?

But they've admitted it should be 3 games by saying its 3 but suspending 2 for 12 months on "good behaviour". Several reporters ive read have indicated it is because he has neve been sent off in 226 national team games. The only other time they have reduced a ban, it seems, is when Zidane got...

Its ridiculous if im being honest. Theyve committed the "crime" and should face the consequences. His ego and stature has got him the leniency. Can tell you now, if it was a player from, say, Uzbekistan or Cape Verde they'd have to sit out.

Not sure if im allowed to post this. Ronaldo gets, in my opinion, correctly sent off for violent conduct. Fifa today has said he gets a 3 match ban, 2 suspended, so that he can play in the world cup. I know we have no control over what happens after the match but what message does this send...

For some, especially certain mods/mods friends, you need to be posting top notch posts daily or are suspect of everything. Wouldn't take it personally. Some like causing controversy where it actually isn't needed. I mean, why even bother to look if someone has posted since last week, last...

I know the other thread was closed but there is a lot of action in this fixture. Liverpool non penalty.. I think if Hooper gives it, VAR wouldn't have overruled despite no contact being (clearly) made. From all angles Collins looks like he plants his foot in front of Gakpo (i think it was...

To be fair, you've agreed its a foul with the "faintest touch"... Its much more of a foul than the one pool fans are claiming in the first half that was extended until Liverpool scored.

How did he not see that the white player was being held by the Barca player and, in my opinion, was a natural trying to get loose from the player and clearly no intent with the arm and, to me, was not careless either.

Only to advise, I believe, on the laws and answer any questions they may have.

According to Flashscores there was only 1 caution before this and that was to Grimsby.

Ok but mine was based on giving anything at all...

Now having seen the actual footage and this screen shot, it is clearer DOGSO than I first thought. However, im still leaning on giving a defensive free kick than an offensive one. Im sticking with they were tangled and through no one in particulars fault but defensive free kick (if anything)...

Not quite got to the penalty but the disallowed goal for offside... Not sure about that to be honest. I know the assistant is far closer and more in line but have a look here... appreciate attacker is behind the defender in middle but ive circled both where the attacker is and where the...

I can only assume for DOGSO. I'm not in a position, based solely on this angle, to sell DOGSO here. Both tangled (no one in particular at fault I believe) and with that, other players (attackers and defenders alike) have caught up and would negate the "last man" part as in covering defender...

Match abandoned. Cup thrown on to the pitch, this one hitting the referee.

Few things I wanted to know that you dont get from the video... How much of the game has been played? The context of it? Most importantly.... how many other times has the spectator abused the assistant prior to this event?

The main reason why the added time thing is being moaned about in Liverpool games. Of course there will be longer added times when Liverpool are losing, or not winning, as their opponents slow the game down, delaying restarts etc. It gets added on. Yet when they are winning, the opponents speed...

Have people also not taken notice that O'Reilly was also stealing 10 yards plus whilst also taking his time and was allowed to do so yet the assistants on every Brentford throw stood and pointed to where exactly it should be taken before getting back in line. It really seemed like Pep was in...

Large part of the reason I stopped this year. Do I miss refereeing, yes, but only because I love football and the fitness side of it. Do I miss the added extras? Not a chance. And its the added extras that is stopping me going back.

Was it handball? I watched the game and seen several highlights after and im still not convinced it actually touched him. Im not saying it didn't touch him either. But you're saying that you'd rule a goal out for a maybe here rather than a definite.
