I have watched footage at time and numerous time after and it doesn’t get any better every time I’ve watched it. That challenge is a potential career ending one and regardless of what game etc it is, it’s a red every single day of the week.

Agree about the reaction with the death threats etc are totally out of order and those responsible should be dealt with accordingly.

As for the image it’s not misleading to me, he knows, his facial expression shows, he’s off the ground etc and is endangering an opponent regardless if he touched the ball first. He actually follows through with all his might

Wonder if var hear the commentary as think that could influence decisions if they do. What is clear Spurs are very poor. Can’t remember the last time i seen Son have a good game for them and imo never a captain. Ange nearing the exit door imo

He’s seen it himself so I’ve no idea how he thinks it’s the wrong decision. He also went on about if something is clear and obvious why did it take so long , simple answer is it shouldn’t have and should have been decided on in about 30 seconds…

Spurs were poor and Son seems to be past his best which must be a concern as he was one if not their main player in recent times . Incredible how quiet Solanke was as well which is probably done to them as a team in they just didn’t do enough.

I agree with most of your post but the facial expression bit doesnt show or prove anything, you can make facial expressions mean anything you want them to.

In this instance getting the ball is totally irrelevant. I don’t think it’s even anything that is a recent thing. Going for someone with your studs, that high, with that type of force is something that deserves a red card. That’s what he did, he went to do the boy and tried to disguise it as getting the ball. It wasn’t just that timing was out or anything like that.

Deaths threats for something like that though. Folk are mental.

Scotland ladies lose 4-0 to Germany. Always going to be a tough game but the performance was largely dreadful.

I don't agree with that at all. That would be a remarkably tricky thing to pull off. He got the ball because that was his intention and is hardly an irrelevance. He was no doubt fired up by the occasion but I don't think he went in with any intent to injure his opponent. The Liverpool lad accepted his apology.

The intent was absolutely there, he knew exactly what he was doing. Ticked every box for a red card irrespective of him kicking the ball first.

Nonsense Penalty for Everton there.

I'm watching the Luton v Leeds game so can't comment on the penalty but I must say Moyes is doing exactly what he was brought back to do and just shows what a very good manager he is.

Personally thought it was defender on wrong side continues pull into the box

English Championship is so close this season between 3 teams . That’s Burnley top for now ,might be wrong but were they not a good few points behind the top two at one point?

We'll just have to disagree on that. Having seen it again this morning I'm not even 100% convinced he should have been booked. His focus is entirely on winning the ball, which he does convincingly, and it's pure momentum which carries him into his opponent.

My dad after telling me hertz tv is showing a rugby game right now . Somethings never change 😆

What would a draw do for them?

• Airdrieonians 2-1 Partick Thistle
• Dunfermline Athletic 0-1 Hamilton Academical
• Falkirk 5-0 Greenock Morton
• Livingston 3-0 Queen's Park
• Raith Rovers 1-0 Ayr United

• Annan Athletic 0-2 Queen of the South
• Cove Rangers 0-3 Inverness CT
• Kelty Hearts 0-6 Dumbarton
• Montrose 0-1 Arbroath
• Stenhousemuir 1-4 Alloa Athletic

• Edinburgh City 2-1 Clyde
• Elgin City 0-2 Stirling Albion
• Forfar Athletic 1-0 East Fife
• Peterhead 5-0 Bonnyrigg Rose

West Ham 2 Bournemouth 2


Bournemouth really could do with a few Hibs players


with huge transfer fees

Brilliant result !!! Well done everyone.

Why so sure? Critchley hasn't been impressive in the fames where there's a bit of pressure on them.

Villa up 1-0. Rogers has developed into a top class player...
