It isn't a conspiracy, just shit, inconsistent officiating.

It wasn't just a high foot. It was a high, late, studs up challenge, off the ground and not in control where he wiped out the other player. If it was a low ball and he took him out at the shin, no one would be saying anything about it.

 

[silkyman]

A bit worried that the Liverpool fans will do without a Sterling to boo.

Phew. They were able to get their boos out of their system on a player getting treated on the pitch for 10 minutes before being stretchered off with oxygen.

So that's all good.

 

[Pagnell]

Well done Blitzballer, you set him off again. You know what he's like when he thinks he's right about something.

My take:

1. Salah desperately needs to start finishing more chances.
2. It was a red. I understand why some people think it isn't but in my opinion, if you kick someone in the face at head height, you've been reckless and deserve to go.
3. I like him but Wijnaldum's consistent ability to go missing in games is a major concern.
4. KDB is awesome. He's easily in the top 3 crossers in the league despite mainly playing a central role.
5. City will still lose games but I fancy them to score 4+ goals in at least 10 games this season.
6. Someone said it a few pages back: you're never, ever going to be contenders with Klavan getting minutes.

Looks painful and very, very cool.

Looks painful and very, very cool.

If you did that to someone in the street with your boot, you'd be looking at an assault charge, accidental or not.

 

[Benji]

What if your eye was on the ball?

Intention is significantly more relevant in the court than on the football pitch, so no. Also, how do you kick someone in the face accidentally in the street?

 

[JimJams]

Walk down my street and you'll find out Bilo.

Looks painful and very, very cool.

Almost felt sorry for him until I saw that silly smiley face tattoo!

 

[JimJams]

The doctor did that. Proper stitched him up!

See Liverpool have lost an appeal against the length of Mane's ban. Ought to be QUADRUPLED as punishment for having the GALL to make such a FRIVOLOUS appeal IMVHO

You can't accidentally assault someone so no, you really wouldn't.
