“I threw something at the Chelsea players, did they mention me?”

Am I going insane or does Dallinga very clearly stick his leg in front of Matip’s and cause Matip to trip? The announcer keeps going on and on about “shoulder to shoulder or push in the back?” when that clearly wasn’t the reason the foul was called…? They just showed a super slo mo replay of their legs coming together and the announcer was dead silent for a few seconds before saying “…the left arm into Matip’s side…” and totally missed the contact in the center of the frame
It seems ridiculous that multiple people are talking over each other. Why does it need to be a panel discussion?
I don’t think they can win here. If it was one guy making the decision there would be at least as many mistakes and they’d be slaughtered for having only one person reviewing things.
Following the Young discourse, I’ll be fascinated to see how people who moan about every reffing decision contort themselves to make this a controversy.
I am baffled by people having a problem with the first booking. Having a problem with Tsimikas not getting booked is fine, but Young stuck his leg out and initiates knee on knee contact to bring a winger down and stop an attack. That’s always a yellow.
A Liverpool player not getting booked several minutes later for a similar challenge is totally irrelevant to the question of whether Young’s is a yellow.
What is the black and gold badge between Villa and Leicester? I recognize almost all of the badges on here but that one.
This is what I don’t get about the addiction angle. As far as we know he wasn’t betting on Malaysian badminton at 2 am or ponies at some podunk track in the middle of Arkansas… he was betting on his own team. I’m not saying he isn’t an addict, but he very clearly had some level of control. To me it suggests he just thought he wouldn’t be caught, not that he couldn’t help himself.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an indirect free kick inside the penalty area for that. Now that I think about it, a backpass is basically the only thing I see them for.
He’s going to be a better player but the praise for this performance reminds me a lot of Adama Traore’s early Wolves days. He was absolutely unplayable and a menace every time he stepped on the pitch, and finished the season with 1 goal and 3 assists.
