Striking an opponent? Bloody Hell do you work for VAR by any chance.

If he did that randomly off the ball he would obviously be sent off for striking an opponent. The point is what he did can't really be considered an attempted tackle because he wasn't trying to win the ball.

It wasn't a mistake. You are treating it as if it was just a mistimed tackle which it wasn't. It was a deliberate kick/stamp on a players miles away from the ball. It should be a red card and I wish more refs would give them.

I agree with this.

No genuine attempt to win the ball. Only intent is to kick the player/bring him down.

The game should red card those type of fouls.

Arsenal are one of the worse for intentional "foul the player on the break" - this one was just too obvious.



The top teams use it against teams that look to counter attack.

Got away with it for too long.

Even if you think this was a red card (it wasn’t) I can’t wait to see this new rule consistently applied with the RS, Man United, Chelsea etc.

Then we will all wake up.

It’s never a red card, we might as well jib it if it is.

Eze frustrating the Palace faithful by going backwards with his passes.

 

[ToffeeTim]

But you are just allowed to kick people right? If I just kick someone randomly its a red card.

Most fouls involve some type of kick? Most fouls would result in red cards by that interpretation

It's about endangering an opponent. Yesterday didn't get close to that threshold for me. It's just extremely cynical.

It would be the first red card shown for that kind of challenge.
