Live Match Discussion 2022/23

More to do with the fact that (yes, partly by virtue of Marsch being an American), I've seen more of him than you have, I think it's fair to say. And so it's interesting to me that you've very quickly worked out how unlikable he is, then said the reasons for that were some particular characteristics; I pointed out the double-standard, and you retreated to "oh it's because you're his countryman" rather than engage with my actual point.

I don't see those behaviours from Nuno.

 

[Jack Regan]

Brilliant Trippier free kick makes it 3-1 moments after Pope made a great save to deny Haaland.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think Marsch is an absolute and complete arse. Hope that helps.

 

[Tony Towner]

I'm getting bent out of shape because you're not at all engaging with the conversation, which is fair enough if you've just landed on a conclusion without actually having a logical reason for it and so don't want to spend the time making up anything that sounds good for lack of any concrete evidence that supports what you say.

He's acted like a complete bellend in both the games we've played against him. A classless bellend at that

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

3-3 now!

Have it y'all's way, I guess.

 

[Dire Wolf]

What a game this is!

 

[Dire Wolf]

That's never a red card.

 

[The Bear]

Nonsense red card. It needs to be reckless or endangering your opponent. Which that was neither.

 

[Alan]

Both feet off the ground makes it look really bad. If he makes any more contact than he does I think it's a stonewall red. As it is, yellow is probably right.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Overturned by VAR correctly.

 

[Charlie Wolf]

No, me neither. They look very good.

Amazing what a couple of hundred million will do, but they’ve took the game to Man City.
…and that is a red card, cynical, two feet off the ground and no where near the ball. That’s now set a precedent.
Commentators desperate also for Newcastle to win, money talks louder than values and integrity

 

[The Bear]

Fortunately that's not how the rules define it.

It has to be either excessive force or endangering the opponent. That was neither.

The language here should change, IMO, because it's only a matter of inches that stopped Trippier from snapping KdB's leg in half. I can definitely see how someone says that that tackle meets the prerequisites for "endangering the opponent". Just another law that is too open to interpretation.

 

[The Bear]

Lol. There was no actual force behind the challenge. It was the equivalent of dangling a leg as someone runs past you. Only difference is he had to dive in to do that and he managed to get his foot initially to knee height. The contact was on his lower leg slightly after.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Recklessness is still in the rules Bear. You don’t have to endanger, if you are reckless about potential injury to an opponent.

 

[Alan]

If your reaching foot is ever at knee height, it’s a bad tackle. Really no need to go in like that tbh.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's something they should have clamped down on after Spurs took it in turns to try snapping Adama in half when he was good. But they didn't.

 

[Dire Wolf]

There was no way that it was red card worthy tackle. He caught him with the outside of his foot with very little force or impact. If there had been any signs of the studs showing we'd have a different discussion. I'd have been furious if a Wolves player had been sent off for that challenge and so would everyone claiming it was a deserved red card.

Once you start moving at pace it isn’t just a case of dangling a leg out on force especially to any joint can be very dangerous.
Classic case look at Henrique Larsson leg break player for Celtic no real force but the pace he was moving at caused the injury.
