Soccer (Closing)

They should really force the ref to watch the fouls at real time speed before leaving the monitor.

2-0 up? "Time to take matters in our own hands fellas!" - Rashford

nah that's a yellow imo, tried to shield the ball, no intention and unlucky af

Most people here showing they have never stepped foot on a pitch.

Dude is stepping to block the ball and the Copenhagen guy just sticks his foot in. Very unfortunate but if you get stepped on trying to play the ball it does happen.

When Cisse got his leg broken it was sad but it wasn’t a red card.

VAR is not doing its job properly.

Games absolutely gone if thats a red fucking hell

Absolutely braindead officiating. He steps over and the guy puts his foot there. No fucking footballing awareness.

They compared this guy with leao😭😭😭

I know the contacts ended up being bad but there’s no intent and it wasn’t reckless or anything. Feels harsh

We were actually playing well as well, just let me enjoy football once please 😭

Game is gone. He is protecting the ball and the Copenhagen player sticks his leg in the way.

The ref only saw videos in slow motion ffs. This happens 3 times a games almost

Had no idea it happened, Clear as day

That’s very harsh

I think it’s a red but unlucky which happens. There was no intent to hurt him but rashford’s studs caught him above the ankle so there’s not too much to argue about

When will people learn INTENT doesn’t matter anymore

Should be withdrawn after the game and an apology issued by UEFA and VAR. not even a joke at this point

Ye that's a red

Well deserved

Went from a straight forward game to spicy just like that

Guy just puts his foot where Rashfords is going

I'm nor sure about this one, too much reffing consequences and not actions. Rashy is protecting the ball, doesn't have any sight of the man moving into where he makes contact.

Ultimately that's a nasty piece of contact, but the degree of contact shouldn't really be so much of a decider.

I honestly don’t agree with that, it’s nasty but there have to be some mitigations for the fact he’s coming from behind. There has to be some allowances for legitimate football actions that result in things like that.

Doesn't know a thing about the player being there. Just trying to protect the ball. I mean come on now...

it looks so much worse in slowmotion, i cant understand why they dont show it in real time.

SO FUCKING STUPID. Tried to make himself big, fuck off

Game's gone

LOL THIS SPORT IS FUCKING DEAD. Get out of here. Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. Game is gone.

How can u even pretend to be surprised? Is he dumb?

These refs should play a game of football for once. At least the people making the rules. If his happens every week nowadays without the opposing team even asking for the red card, maybe something is wrong with the rule.

He tries to make himself big and doesn't even see the foot when stamping on his ankle. Just idiotic stuff completely against the spirit of the game.

Yeah that’s a red, Rashford did not need to stretch out that far there

bruh

Clear red! He literally looks and then almost breaks the kids leg.

You gotta be redder than the devils dick not to see that

You have to be so shit at your job to make this call, the level of incompetence is unreal

Same reasoning as Romero. He doesn't intend to try and injure, however, he ends up risking that. Not as bad as Romero obviously, but still.

Seems very harsh IMO, obviously he’s going to be sent off though when the ref’s shown 18 replays in slow motion and a freeze frame

Not intentional whatsoever

Zero intention in it. Shite

It's not intentional, but that was a rough looking stamp.

That’s unfortunate. Is relatively consistent with what’s normally given in fairness

Bad luck, he's trying to step across to shield the ball but got it wrong. Red the correct call even if there's no intent

No intent == No red card

Kinda ridiculous that. Looks red, but not intentional. Yellow would be deserving. Idk, that’s unfortunate.

most of you guys have never played football of u think thats a red,

Definitely not his intention, but still 100% deserved red card.

As an Arsenal fan even I feel bad for Rashford. Genuine attempt to play the ball and no malice in it, just unlucky to get there later than the other player but is a red card.

That's harsh. It's neither intentional nor reckless. Just seems like an unfortunate incident.

Absolute farce of a decision. How is VAR this bad. How is that violent. What are we doing

How the fuck do these refs continue to have jobs/these games, its actually fucking mind-boggling. Unreal - hopefully can appeal.

Things were finally looking up for United and then he goes and does this...

Ten Hag must be fuming

It was accidental but it was high. Unfortunately intent doesn’t matter and it’s gotta be a red
