Match Thread Liverpool V Man City

[redgold]

Three games.

It was a straight red.

Straight red for a shirt pull

What the fuck?

Did he try and strangle him with it or something???

Three games.

It was a straight red.

I thought it was only 3 if it was violent.

The only positive I can take from this is that Arsenal don't get to run away with the title, and still have to sweat it out.

Unfortunately, it means I have to cheer for these Sheikh cheats to catch up to them.

I fucking hate this timeline.

Also,....

Fuck Guehi and Ljinders.

The only possible good news would be if Slot finally gets fired.

Unfortunately he's not going anywhere until we've failed to qualify for the CL, and even then it's not a given that he'll be given the boot.

Denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity is always a straight red.
It doesn't matter how it goes down.

I hope Arsenal walk it.

Man City have literally ruined the entire sport with corrupt money-laundering, versus Arteta being a bit of a twat and their fans saying "blud fam" a lot.

Shame.

He should have tried to strangle him with it then.

(As I understand the rules....)

1 game suspension if it was a red card that was as a result from a second yellow, and 3 games for a straight red.

Denial of a goal-scoring opportunity is a straight red regardless of how the foul occurred(whether violent or not).
As a result, he got a straight red which means we lose him for 3 games.

It wouldn't matter if it was from just a shirt tug like he did, or he deliberately handballed and parried away an inbound ball at the goal-line.

Same result.

That's why I said it was more damaging for us that he didn't just let the third goal stand.
Even City didn't want that review.

The goal difference works in their favour.

Hard result to take. We were so much better in the 2nd half.

They've literally scored with their first touch in our box in the 2nd half. And then a moment of madness from Ali.

Got to take the positives from it.

As far as I'm concerned that's already happened. The teams above us won't drop as many points as we will. Need a new manager.
