GWT: EPL - Matchweek 5

[Jussi]

Neither team seems to be scoring today....

Edit: unless Razzmatazz...

Unbelievable. Lisandro goes for the 2 footed stomp of death and doesn’t see red…

Didn't really make contact so....

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Doesn’t mean it wasn’t insanely dangerous…

Hence the yellow. Only made contact with the ball. As I said, stupid thing to do anyway.

 

[Blender]

- another under the radar masterclass from Caicedo

 

[Jussi]

I wish the stream had an option to turn off the drum sound...

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Weird subs from Utd, Zirkzee in particular. Their build-up game pretty much disappeared after that.

United play on Wednesday, got to rotate.

United back to making the opponent keeper the MOTM.

Spurs were decent and lucky, which I will greedily take.

I have no issues being an Arsenal fan tomorrow

That is a horrible result for ManU. You dominate the game and do not get a goal, but then Eze should've easily had two in that last twenty minutes of action lol.

Unbelievable. Lisandro goes for the 2 footed stomp of death and doesn’t see red…

It was more of an orange for me because he didn't make contact, but that tackle would have torn ligaments and broken bones if he did. Pretty absurd reffing once again since a red is justified, but I understand the yellow.

I don’t think they were lucky. It was like 3.5 vs. 0.5 xG.

You're basically never going to get a red in the PL if you don't make contact with a player regardless of how awful the challenge was.

Vicario should have been sent off at 2-1

Contact with the ball doesn't matter, according to the letter of the law.

 

[Jussi]

Contact with the ball doesn't matter, according to the letter of the law.

That's usually applied when there's also contact with a player. In this case there wasn't any. Also one could make a case that it wasn't a tackle per se but some weird attempt at trapping the ball?

It's either no yellow or a red.

Vicario should have been sent off at 2-1

With the delay, I thought it might be non-reviewable. Then there was a review. I throw my hands up.

 

[JPBolts]

Finished refereeing some ECNL matches this morning to see that Jhon Durán scored as a substitute yet again.

By the letter of the law, contact is not required.

Nah, handling the ball outside the box is yellow, he wasn't the last defender

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

A violent action doesn't have to be successful in order to be violent. It absolutely should've been a red, even if (luckily!) his opponent was not hit by it.

With regards to Vicario - I thought a keeper handle outside of the box in such a scenario was a red, regardless of last man/DOGSO? But maybe I'm just fully wrong on that.
