  1. Great so for all other incidents where players delay a restart, by kicking the ball we will see cards handed out ? Yeah I call bullshit

  2. Was this ever a question…. He gave him yellow and the rules of the game dictated that the second yellow triggers red so….no clue why people think that ref should do some favours to players that are already on yellow….mate u have one free pass to f around….second one u are gone

  3. The crux of the problem is if he hadn’t they would have sworn up and down he was right not to. And they won’t apply the same rule they’ve just said is correct in future to similar situations and as they have not done in the past. and so it goes.

  4. Most people would be fine with that if it wasn’t for the fact he didn’t book someone else for doing the same thing in the same game. By the letter of the law he was right to give a second yellow and therefore a red card but if you’re not going to apply the rules consistently then it is going to end up with everyone asking why.

  5. If I see another person compare it to the Pedro situation I’ll have to conclude no one understands football.

  6. He was right. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know the rules.

    And claiming other people done it and got away with it doesn’t mean that this is wrong, it means that those decisions were wrong.

    By the rule book it’s a correct decision. People can argue the rules are wrong and the consistency is lacking but they can’t claim the decision was wrong.

  7. Yellow for Arsenal/ no card for everyone else.

    Make it more difficult for Arsenal to win/ keeping competition fair

    First tackle by Arsenal player/ 5th tackle if its against Saka.

    Remember David luiz red card against wolverhampton?
    Or martinelli 2 yellow cards in one action? The refs are corrupt visiting saudi, then allowing Newcastle to win 1-0. We have so many examples. Its funny how everyone shrugs it off because its popular to hate on Arsenal. They want us to not win and dont care if city win. It does not matter as long as it mainly happens to Arsenal.

  8. 100% deserved second yellow. It’s been shown time and time again this year, if your disrupt resume of play your getting a yellow. A dumb move by Rice, no one to blame but himself.
