Lets all remember people saying Oliver favours Arsenal five minutes ago

Right before the half too.....

Crack another

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What an absolute disgrace call. This guy is f***ing clown ref

Pep learned how to cut a check in a previous life

Crack another

might need something harder.

Not warranting a send off. Not every foul has to be a yellow.

He made no attempt to play the ball and just plowed into him. That is a yellow every time.

Well he finally decided to punish Arsenal's cheapshots after a couple of them injured City's most important player

I’m just surprised they didn’t give Madrid a penalty for that.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Oliver pretty much ensured no matter what he did there would have been controversial the way he let the game go.

Grealish isn't even on the pitch.

 

[John Price]

that was a bs red

Haaland should have been in the book two minutes into the game.

It is a chippy game all around.

 

[Chimaera]

You don’t want the ref to be the story, but it’s also completely boneheaded. Like you can give some leeway for a challenge that is harsh, but just running into someone when you have a yellow is just dumb

 

[al secord]

What is this sport becoming if a bump like that is a second yellow?

 

[robertmac43]

In the context of the game, that feels like a soft second yellow. It's been combative from the start.

"A bump", get out of here. He shouldered him in the back with a body check and made no attempt on the ball. It was horribly stupid by a player on a yellow.

Exactly! It's Trossard's own stupidity cost him a red and potentially the game

 

[AlanHUK]

Trossard is brain dead

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I am I the only one that find that Trossard decision making was horrible on that foul + kicking away already on a yellow?

Sidenote: the most prized man in world football should be the set piece coach of Arsenal. They look like scoring on every set pieces.

 

[phisherman]

Haaland did the same shit! Bunch of Pejorative Slurs here

Jesus. This is a hockey site and you called that a body check?

 

[Chimaera]

The City player also anticipated and turned into it to make it into the back. But Trossard can’t be that dumb with a yellow already.

I would hope the ref wouldn’t give it, but I think when you give the ref an option, as we have all seen, you can’t really be upset with the result

 

[John Pedro]

if that's a yellow, every game would start with at least 5 guaranted yellows. This shit happens all the time and in every single game.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Rebecca Lowe saying it’s for kicking the ball away lol

 

[Epictetus]

Kyle Walker ain't it anymore

 

[Chimaera]

if that's a yellow, every game would start with at least 5 guaranted yellows. This shit happens all the time and in every single game.

I don’t think anyone is disagreeing that it’s a harsh yellow. But this foul, in minute 10, without any priors, is just a foul. But if you’re on a yellow, and you do this in the middle of the match when the aggression in the match is up, it’s a completely different discussion.
