What with other recent incidents it feels like things are taking a slight turn for the worse. Hopefully not.
You'd think with someone called "Hulk" on the pitch that might act as a deterrent.

They run hot those Brazilians.

Pretty insane, if that happened here I'd argue several players would be facing huge bans if not life bans and assault charges brought up. Wonder if there will actually be any consequences other than the reds.

The keeper should face a long ban for starting it all and then anyone who engaged outside of directly defending themself only.
Pretty disgusting and embarrassing scenes.

just seen the footage on X and then some posted an image of a ref and a **** ton of red cards in a list. I genuinely thought it was an AI meme of the video, but no.

Maybe a comment better in one of the other threads but this kind of stuff and spectators getting overly toxic and aggressive along with the amount that there is cynical playing of the man rather than the ball including some really nasty stuff in some leagues is really ruining the game for me.

Thought it was just a video of a Premier League corner when it started.
