Having seen it for the first time, absolutely agree with Mr Quids. If you are attacked, which he was, then you are enitled to take a little revenge. Live by the sword and die by the sword.


As for my bet. Spurs on the drift from 22 to 32....long way to go though.

I, too, agree with Master Quids and cannot help but sympathise with the goalkeeper. There but for the grace of God...


But then - presumably - there is the issue of reasonable/unreasonable force (he was wearing studs) etc...


Still, the red card has since been rescinded.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing and also feel it was deserved, after all, he could have been some psycho with a knife or whatever and I would have the same response if someone was walking towards me like that ... just think the ref thought it was excessive force. Also liked that the team walked off the pitch in response.

Yes thank god for that!!! I was starting to panick about how the heck I would find a parking space.

Had to look this one up out of pure curiosity. Presumably the referee was relying on one (or more) of these rules, Mr. Medic.


A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off and shown the red

card if he commits any of the following seven offences:

1. is guilty of serious foul play

2. is guilty of violent conduct...

...6. uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures.


I am really surprised at how broad and unspecific these rules are. What, for example constitutes "serious foul play"? I didn't find a "definitions' section".

So what was the keeper supposed to do? Wait to get assaulted before he defends himslef. Thankfully it appears common sense has prevailed and the red card has been rescinded.

Look no further than Roy Keane's "foul" on Alf Hinge Haaland.

This episode was disgraceful quite how he escaped legal proceedings is beyond me. And before anybody says anything, It's not just because he was a united player, its just unforgiveable. Full stop.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
