2025/26 Michael Vincent Keane

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Was having a good game but that’s a red card. Totally needless.

 

[PhilRegan]

How is he a worse defender with his new confidence

 

[Davideeyore]

Think Keane was pulling the chain

 

[johnjoeefc]

Has some bad luck with strange var calls. He had an innocuous pen against him against brighton in 2019 too for basically nothing

 

[blueblood]

Though it was never a violent conduct offence maybe a stupid thing to do but he's done us a favour as OBrien goes to centre half now. Unsure if the ban includes the cup.

Scores and gets sent off so Moyes has to play players in correct positions. He's a gooden

 

[lieneverton]

Brain dead red. Harsh maybe, but so dumb.

Never a red though. Violent conduct! Pull the other one

….just can’t see that decision happening elsewhere.

Yeah that Irish no mark Connolly was a disgrace in that incident I seem to recall

 

[Drico]

Very very stupid - and potentially dangerous.

Been a couple of other incidents of hair pulls resulting in red cards though iirc

Agendas aside, interesting to review neutral opinion and about 70/80% saying it's never a red.

Typical to be Michael Keane but I agree with what Osman was saying, he was looking at the ball and grappling - he'd grab the shirt if the hair wasn't there.

It's never something VAR was introduced for, or should be getting involved in.

The players saw the screen and it contributed to the head loss from Grealish.

….yep, they tend to be in the act of pulling a player back. Just thought this one was pedantic, fussy officials looking for something that didn’t impact the game in the least and being chuffed when they find it.
