2019/20 Andre Gomes

[The binman chronicles]

But the norm. Its a passionate, contact sport, it happens. Gomes himself is probably the worst in our current side for it.

You have to be in the vicinity of the ball though. You're allowed to go shoulder to shoulder, to collide in the air competing for the ball, you can tackle hard and go through a player but you have to make a genuine attempt.

It’s not a contact sport. It’s a ‘limited contact’ sport. That’s not pedantry, it’s key to the argument. It’s a sport where players do come into contact with each other, but deliberate contact is generally outlawed. Kicking people deliberately (which is what son did) is not within the rules, and is punishable with cards.

Yep, yellow card. Every game a player gets away and is purposely fouled, yellow card.
Its football ffs it happens EVERY game, very often by Gomes as I said.

Please see above, if you deliberately stop a player from breaking away with no intention of getting the ball its a standard yellow.
If he hadn’t fallen badly we would never have mentioned the actual challenge again.

And nobody has disagreed with you as far as I can see. He made a yellow card challenge, which is upgraded to a red card because a player was endangered by it. It's literally been explained in those simple terms by the FA, with reference to the laws of the game, I have no idea what's so difficult to understand.

The lunge is the issue. Almost all lunges are at the ball not the man. This one was at his ankle and yards from the ball. Proper nasty challenge.

Normal cynical fouls with no attempt on the ball are almost always trips, clips, pulls, pushes or barges. I.e. nowhere near as dangerous.

It's not normal to tackle a player from behind without getting the ball.

Good news that. Less time than I was in with a broken pelvis requiring no surgery.

Successful OP and being discharged from hospital so quickly can only be a good sign.

Bench on Sunday, the utter God.

Get healthy my guy! Come back stronger because we all know we need you. While you are out, go scout us some January transfers and find a home for Morgan

It’s premeditated retaliation that resulted in a serious injury,
deserves a red and an extended ban.

most people are remorseful when the mist clears and they realise they’ve assaulted somebody on live tv.

if he is let off, see how many players start crying after they’ve committed a foul to avoid the cards.

he should have a 3 match ban anyway for his simulation in the first half just like Niasse had all those years ago.
Although our defence should of known better, even Elton John knows not to let the Son go down on you.

OMG I have read it all now. I was just a slightly bad tackle, the type we see every week.

Assault!!! lol

I have asked this so many times, no one can give me an answer.

After every yellow card foul, who is going to medically assess each player to see of that then leads to a red card. Does the referee guess? Ask the sponge man? Do the FA send a medical guy down on the monday to assess the damage and then give Red.

I have never, ever heard of added punishment due to causing injury after an initial decision is given.

How has it take 140 years for this to be introduced for the first time?

Can you imagine how diving and feigning injury will thrive now. The aftermatch is as/more important than the tackle/foul.

Utterly Bizarre.

thats him screwed then. Our ‘medical’ team are worse than the nhs on a bad day (I think the nhs are wonderful btw, but they can be stretched on occasion)

I’m convinced the heads of the referees association and the EPL are actually rugby union fans who are infiltrating our sport in a clandestine operation to destroy it from the inside.
