Man City (A) - 12:30pm, Sat 9th Sep 2017 - Citizen's caned.

[Arl arse]

Mane wouldn't expect the keeper to be that far out of the box, the ball was there to be won.

[KMD7]

Tyler and Neville sticking up for Mane. 

[Jose Jones]

I think it was probably a red. He did kick him in the face. Albeit by accident.

[niallers]

Isn't a straight red a 3 match ban?

[Numero Veinticinco]

Sick fuck Mane deserves that.

Sick fuck? What? He went to flick the ball over the keeper. I can see why it was given, but I can’t agree with it. He had every right to go for it. No intention at all.

[Grinch]

Oh fuck off. That type of incident happens every week and players don't get sent off.

 

No, I don't think you do see keepers getting booted in the head every week.  It was a red every day and we'll pay the price for the three games.

[Jennings]

Hope he's ok.

When Tyler and Neville are saying it's not a red you know it's not a red.

Absolute bullshit decision

[El Rojo]

Never even looked towards him. Eyes on the ball the whole time.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Seen this script a million times before.

Im so tired of this fucking shit.

 

Word.

 

Shit keeper.

Muppets in defence.

Ghost midfield.

Chances wasted.

[Karl_b]

The other way round and we'd be absolutely screaming for a red card. It's not malicious but it's dangerous and a sending off.

[Captain]

Behave. Eyes on the ball. Keeper ducks his head in a bit too.

 

That's what you do when you head the ball.

[Red Phoenix]

Not going to complain about that, seeing as the keeper has actually been kicked in the face and then stretchered off.

[stringvest]

it's not good, and it was definitely at least a booking.  A studs up challenge is always a risk.  To call the referee a fraud on this is silly.  The killer here is that we've lost one of our few effective players.  I wonder if it means Firmino will now have to start?

[Strontium]

Doesn't even touch the keeper's face. His arse goes into Ederson's ribs.

 

Anyway, at least I don't need to watch the rest of the season now, so there's some positives.

[Jennings]

If he hadn't have gone for that he'd have been roundly bollocked by every red in the stadium.

Anyone who thinks that's more than a yellow would want their heads wobbled. Ducking head and a high boot. Yellow at most. That's us fucked. Suppose we can't keep not getting beat in games against top 6.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

That's what you do when you head the ball.

And Mané did what you do when trying to get on the ball over the top.

[Saintslfc13]

It's a never a straight red for me. Keeper was out of his area, both players had a right to challenge for the ball. It's a shame the keeper got hurt but there was clearly no intent to hit anything but the ball. A yellow for the high boot sure but a straight fuckin red? Not at all.

[J-V]

The other way round and we'd be absolutely screaming for a red card. It's not malicious but it's dangerous and a sending off.

He's a keeper and runs this risk coming out like that dipping his head. Only himself to fucking blame. The ball was their to be won the end.

[suzy]

i do hope the goalie is ok though

[thompsonsnose]

Gutless midfield.

Egg shell defence.

Window closed.

Who do we sack?

[Strontium]

Anyone who thinks that's more than a yellow would want their heads wobbled.

 

I thought the keeper was getting a red at first. Nuff said.

[Pidge]

Been listening on the radio, just seen the goal on Twitter.  Awful positioning on Klavan, too worried about the players around him and not paying attention to where the ball is. 

 

But who knew that we'd need another quality centre back, impossible to predict that Klavan wouldn't be good enough for this kind of game.

[Captain]

The other way round and we'd be absolutely screaming for a red card. It's not malicious but it's dangerous and a sending off.

 

I don't think it was malicious either. Mané probably gambled on the keeper chickening out of the clash.
