hope ederson is ok

If that exact same scenario happens in midfield with Fernandinho it's a red too

Wait, people think that's a red?

Imagine he doesn't go for that 50/50?

100% that red gets rescinded

If he's looking at the keeper then fair.

But mane is soley trying to get to the ball to knock it on. Need some video assistance, these wrong decisions change games way too much.

What happened to Ederson? Looked like he was conscious and broke his fall with his hands.

time to whip out one of the classics

ffs he has oxygen on? that can't be good

SN still GOAT

Paulinho got sent off for a similar one on Suarez a few seasons back.

I mean, he misses the ball by a mile and as a direct result of a high boot to the keeper's head, he is being stretchered off.

Can lead with his head/not his boot What odds are you offering? Amazing.

KLOPP KLOPP KLOPP!!!

DENIED

ugh so close

If by the letter of the rules its a red, jfc, change the rules.

Two players went for the 50/50, one managed to do it without ever getting close to studding the other in the head.

i changed my opinion. after a different angle, it is a red. boot to face has to be pretty much. i get that there wasn't much intent, but bad things happen when you do reckless stuff even if there isn't necessarily intent.

Just because Gary Neville says it's not a red doesn't make it not a red.

Clear red card, we know Mane is not looking to injure him and is going for the ball but that's besides the point, nobody is going in with the intention of injuring the goalkeeper. He's going for the ball, once he misses it and hits the goalkeeper in the chest/face with his boot well that's unlucky but you deserve to go off.

Particularly a bit confused because everyone seemed to be siding with the ref decision on Cahill red card, this is the same prevention principle really, it's harsh if you judge by intention but the point is to try to prevent what exactly happened. Mane should try to catch the ball next time he goes flying in like that

Agreed

i think its honestly too close to get mad one way or the other.

KdB is fantastic

jesus is immense

Very true.

Ploppers must be seething, which is always great
