2 minutes into your debut and you do that. Wow.

Converge · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:19

Sweet Jesus. That’s how to make a start to your career... what a complete and utter numpty.

Horrible challenge...rush of blood to the head.

Expect an absolute spanking now.

Purdy · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:19

Thats an awful tackle. Horrible judgement, can't imagine that is any way 'intentional'.

Mark1989 · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:20

Red card in saints game already from the debut player, good start then for him not

manic111 · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:20

Well that's the clearest red you'll ever see

Interesting to see how we do without Pogba tonight.

It looks harsh but they literally followed the laws of the game. They couldnt give a yellow for that...he hasnt made an attempt for the ball.

fez · 2 Feb 2021 at 20:24

Such a bizarre challenge so early in the game. Didn't look like there was any malice to it but really stupid. Assume he just misjudged it horribly.

It says accidental fouls, not if they make a tackle.

Yes as in go for the ball in a genuine challenge and foul the player. You have to make an attempt to play the ball if you do then its a yellow...if not red.

It's one way to get the club to accept your transfer request. What a moron.

I'm not sure where the text jonny's quoted has come from but as Peter Walton explained, if you're not deemed to be attempting to play the ball then it's still a red card. The reason being is because without this defenders will be just rugby tackling forwards when they're about to score. He also said that intent doesn't come into the refs decision as they cannot read defenders minds.

Its in the law book?

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off.

Intent clearly comes into the refs mind though. In the text posted by Jonny the wording is "accidental" and in the text posted by omnomnom the wording is "an attempt to play the ball", which goes to intent.

If what omnomnom has posted then I agree, technically it's a red but it seems like horribly written rules, as it ignores the possibility of a completely accidental foul where the player is neither going for the ball or the opposing player

Which is why it seems harsh. Thats from the FA website so its legit and Luiz is unfortunate but it is a red by the law.

Its daft as if he does some insane tackle to "try" and win the ball its a yellow.

Yeah I agree with you in that case, the rules seem completely wrong
