Studs go into people's shins everyday of the week, doesn't mean to say everybody gets a red card.
---------------
If it's at full speed and completely wipes out the other player, and the ref spots it, then they usually do.

Well in that case we should be seeing red cards every week in every game then. There are tackles in every game across the country that have tackles than can endanger the opposition, guess they must all be reds.

No it's up to the ref's discretion, but running at full speed with your boot raised to head height and your studs showing isn't exactly a common occurrence, and is severe enough to warrant a red.

It's like these people defending it don't know the rules or something.

The rules are vague though. All depends on the scenario nowadays. The rules say that a tackle that endangers an opponent should result in a red card, doesn't every tackle endanger an opponent?

May as well make it a non-contact sport.

Every High foot endangers the opponent. They're always punished with a yellow card.

How many tackles are flying studs up to a keepers head?

Did you know the rules when Zlatan stood on Tyrone Mings' head last season at Old Trafford? May have been unintentional, still reckless. No red card. Linesman spotted it as well. Inconsistent.

You missed out that he also had both feet in the air so was totally out of control

Ref got it wrong. Irrelevant.

Inconsistent - yes. Should have been red like in this case.

No, not irrelevant. You've used the wrong word, inconsistent. Forgot about a raised elbow as well, clearly visible to everyone. $hithouse Zlatan saying Mins "jumped into his elbow", give it a rest.

Yeah the rules are a bit vague, but that's because they're designed that way to allow refs a certain bit of leeway to make their own judgement case-by-case. But generally we look to see what precedents refs have set in the past. If there's evidence that players who committed similar fouls to Mane got off with less than a red, then maybe you'd have grounds to question it.

So now you are saying that the Mane red was right?

Or are you saying Ibra shouldn't have been sent off for those incidents?

Not really following your argument.

Just because the keeper came away with a nasty injury, doesn't make it a red.

Like I said, high foots happen every week in the premier league and refs blow the whistle precisely because it endangers the opponent. Same with a bicycle kick near an opponent.

The issue is that they're never given a red.

posted on 9/9/17

Of course it's irrelevant. A wrong decision in another match with different officials has no bearing on the rules being applied correctly to Mane's challenge today.

Didn't Mings stamp on Zlatan head last season. Zlatan reacted with the elbow.

Does the player with the high boot go studs first into the opponents face after the ball has been played?

posted on 9/9/17

Well it's one or the other isn't it. If Mané gets sent off, so should Zlatan. If Zlatan doesn't get sent off, neither should Mané. They both still followed the rules. That's the inconsistency. The rule is that vague.

Opinions differ though. If the rules are clear and concise, then there would be much less of an opinionated referee, thus giving them less leeway to potentially give a correct decision.

Mane red card was the correct decision, not sure why folks are arguing..

But you are being inconsistent, because you are saying Ibra should have been sent off and Mane shouldn't.

Both should have been sent off, none of this " If Mané gets sent off, so should Zlatan. If Zlatan doesn't get sent off, neither should Mané. "

There should be no matter of opinion in it. It was a challenge where the player knew there was the potential to cause serious injury (and may well have done). That is one of the very definitions of serious foul play.

Mane had both feet off the ground and wasn't in control when his foot smashed into the keeper at head height.

OUT OF CONTROL=dangerous play=sending off
