UEFA Euro 2020 Round of 16 ** spoilers ** [26th - 29th June 2021]

[Mr Jack]

And then followed through and nearly broke the players leg.

Followed through? There's like a tenth of a second between hitting the ball and the player at real speed no way he can pull back in that time.

It’s dangerous play, simple as that

It is dangerous, but unless we're going to completely ban that kind of sliding clearance I don't see that it's a red.

 

[Jokester]

The Ukrainian player has endangered himself. He should have recognised he wasn't winning the 50/50

No, you’re not allowed to lunge at the ball like that if it would endanger in another player.

It’s similar to players giving away fouls when making overhead scissor kicks.

 

[Jokester]

I think the point is, that sort of challenge is already against the rules.

Players dive for clearances all the time?

 

[Jokester]

Players dive for clearances all the time?

And if they go studs up with a straight leg on somebodies knee they can get red carded.

And if they go studs up with a straight leg on somebodies knee they can get red carded.

But that's not what I saw happen. He kicked the ball and his foot was in that position when the other player ran into it. Totally different to a malicious studs up slide tackle.

You literally see that type of thing 20 times a game, the only reason its being talked about is because of the unfortunate contact. And thats what it is, unfortunate. Nothing illegal from either party, football is a contact sport. Sometimes people get hurt.

 

[Brookert]

Anyone got a video clip link?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Wow the Ukraine guy was glad he was offside there!

Yes, but it doesn’t need to be malicious.

Well, yes.

Law 12, Serious Foul Play guys.

 

[Somnambulist]

Whoever wins half their team is in bits.

 

[CliffyG]

Well surely that's a red too then???

 

[Brookert]

Whoever wins half their team is in bits.

Excellent

 

[Trusty]

Yes, but it doesn’t need to be malicious.


Well, yes.

Law 12, Serious Foul Play guys.

Yea, serious foul play by the Ukrainian guy, he was late to the 50/50

 

[Psycho Ned]

More like a war than a football match this!

 

[Lyle44]

Where's the red for that Ukrainian challenge?

 

[jonneymendoza]

Can’t believe people are arguing about that red card

Innit

 

[Trusty]

Another red there

 

[Jokester]

Yea, serious foul play by the Ukrainian guy, he was late to the 50/50

He didn’t endanger the other players safety.

 

[Trusty]

So lads, another red?

He didn’t endanger the other players safety.

is that a red by the Ukrainian player?
