Nice Scholes impression from Herrera

isnt there that 3 strike rule they made up,you cant be punished by pen,red card etc all same time,something like that

Dont think so. Maybe with the keeper when they've made a genuine attemp to get the ball in a similar situation.

And yes, that's a straight red all day long, but Oliver is a terrible referee so no surprise he bottled the big decision.

If referee believes he tried to play the ball, then he's spot with a pen and yellow under the double jeopardy rule.

It's a tough one to call but I think Jones just about did enough to prove it wasn't a cynical hack. I think ref was right.

Fancy De Gea at his near post rather than against a pen. He's the only reason that they finished 2nd.

Always a chance but Hazard had the full goal to aim at about 8 yards out, I'd say it was 90% a goal had he been allowed to shoot.

 

[Huyton Layne]

HAHAHAHAHAHA that "shot"

Alexis Anichebe

 

[Mozza1987]

Well the commentators aren't aware if there has been a change because they are saying he should be off.

Conte was going nuts.

Well they are wrong. Go and check the rules mate. It’s even on the bbc website from April 2016.

Can't wait for conte to bring hazard with him when he joins us

Is Jones in the England squad for the Summers FIFA World Cup?

Double jeopardy rule.

If referee believes he made an attempt to play the ball inside the box, them he is only booked and it's obviously a pen. If that challenge was made as a last man outside the box it's a straight red without question.

The debate is whether Jones did enough to show the referee he tried to play the ball. It's a tough call. But the fact he got very close to a touch probably saves him.

I like José’s sweater vest.

Yep thank god — so much to look forward to

Yeah guess that's a fair interpretation, but for me the terrible Jones hasn't had the legs and has essentially turned his back and went for the legs with a last ditch lunge.

For me, there has to be a realistic chance that you could have got the ball and Jones never had any throughout his whole challenge.
