This Palace Brentford game has been dreadful. Very close to turning it off

Yeah its not great is it, I thought it was going to be a decent little contest, very drab.

I want to see Vardy score and do his bird flying celebration and see if he gets booked considering cockerels can technically fly

Ayew and Justin are dreadful on the Leicester right. Ndiaye must be licking his lips at the thought. (Watch Ayew get the 91st minute winner now.)

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.

I don't understand your argument. You seem to think the game can't carry on if players are properly punished for intentional off the ball fouls? Use your imagination man. No one's trying to ban legitimate tackles.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

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.

No. Virtually all fouls involve a genuine attempt to win the ball. It really isn't rocket science.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

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

It's the worst example I have seen.

No, I have seen red card for deliberate off the ball fouls before. Maybe not in the premier league.

Pure Spurs that

Spurs doing Spurs.

It is what it is mate. Those are my methods.

I’m saying your in cloud cuckoo land if you think the foul that was given as a red yesterday will be consistently given as a red for others in the scab6, or any team for that matter. It’s a yellow card, the offender knows he can’t do it again, and we all get on with our lives as we used to.

Yes, it was cynical and done to prevent the breakaway, but it wasn’t overly aggressive or overly dangerous imo - it’s the kind of foul that happens in every match at every level of the game - take one for the team, pat on the back from you mates, on we go. I’ve accused Everton of not being cynical or shithouse enough in the past, it’s part of the game, or should be.

I’ve seen many more cynical, dangerous fouls happen and the ref plays on ffs.

Hahaha 1-2 Leicester
