City v Brentford. DOGSO and 2 reds?

[Ryanj91]

Dogso: Brentford player crossed the ball into the Brentford player just inside the penalty area. Brentford player was tripped and pushed from behind so he didn't have a tap in. Clear DOGSO and red not given.

Silva punched a Brentford player in the leg. It wasn't even disguised as anything, just a petulant punch.

If a penalty is given then yes red card. But is there a foul? I’ve seen several times and can’t decide.

There’s an event of the boy who cried wolf for me here too, and it’s why I’m also totally disregarding Keith Andrew’s comments about “no reason to go down”. That’s totally disingenuous- professional players tumble under pressure all the time, and it’s filtering down the levels.

As for Silva, that’s a hard disagree. Aggressive, certainly but not violent. Tantrum, swinging arm not a punch everyone expecting a yellow.

There is more aggression and violence in that punch than there was for recent red cards. For example, the hair pulls and the non red for Gabriel.

Are you referring to the first 'DOGSO'? I can see why that wasn't given. It was a mess and both players look drunk. The one I'm referring to is the trip and hands in the back to stop the **** on goal

Doesn't look like a foul to me - it looks like the attacker's foot clips the back of his own leg, and the "push" certainly hasn't caused the fall.

Not a red for the "punch" either IMO - not enough force to deem it violent conduct for me. If it was contact to the head it would be a red as the force used is more than negligible, but it wasn't, so it's not.
