Manchester City (A) 14.01.2019

[Freddeno]

He went forr the ball and hit it..not a red for me

 

[darlowolf64]

Ah well, game over

 

[jd1981]

Damage limitation now.

 

[Tredman]

Got the ball for me and didn't touch the player. Yellow at very worst. Nonsense.

 

[Pablowolf]

Doc has improved massively over the last couple of seasons, but I think it's really time for a big upgrade, certainly in the summer.

Oh and now Boly off, this could be a cricket score.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Not a foul. Ridiculous decision.

 

[Banjo]

He went forr the ball and hit it..not a red for me

That rule went out the window a decade or so ago I'm afraid.

 

[Johnny75]

Got the ball for me and didn't touch the player. Yellow at very worst. Nonsense.

Yep. I'd be getting our appeal in now. Bollocks decision.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Unnecessary from Boly, excess force when he could've taken the ball much more cleanly. Perhaps a bit harsh for the straight but he gave the referee a decision to make and can only blame himself.

 

[big mean bunny]

That's a dreadful challenge and a terrible decision to make given how the game has started. We'd be howling with that challenge on one of our players.

 

[jdrodrigues]

Seems a bit overreaction from the ref. Wouldn't do the same if it was reversed

 

[Freddeno]

That rule went out the window a decade or so ago I'm afraid.

Silva ran in the way of Bolys foot for me more than Boly into silvas

 

[Jack Regan]

It's a red card all day, you cannot tackle like that any more. See Danny Batth against Bristol City last season.

 

[playtheace]

Brainless challenge, absolutely no need to slide in... Could be embarrassing now.

 

[Banjo]

It was a reckless challenge and completely unnecessary. He was favourite to win the ball and had no need to go to ground.

 

[Jabbawolf]

Studs up, foot off the ground - no point appealing. There was no intent, and it looked way worse than it actually was, but can understand him getting red.

 

[White Wolf]

Gets to the ball first, seems harsh to me. Worrying times ahead and this should just be about damage limitation.

 

[AndyWolves]

Very similar to Kompany on Salah except that Bolys tackle wasn't as bad

 

[Parkins left foot]

Game over now - shouldn't have bothered paying for this.

Possibly was a red, but I've seen a lot worse not given. Killed this game as a match.

I know it's often more difficult to score again against 10 men, but not when you are Man City & home & are 1 - 0 up already

 

[jd1981]

Modern game that’s a red needless challenge by Boly.
