Other Games - 2017/18

Forget who it was for a sec but that was never a red card. May as well. Give up And take the ball home

You go in studs-up you always take a chance of being sent off. If it was against Villa, I'd have been screaming for a red card.

2 games since November hardly proves anything though. If they go on a lengthy poor run then it could be a valid point, but pretty much every side has a blip.

And Blackpool have won 3 in 3 months so are obviously far far better than you are giving them credit for!

A yellow with a strong warning may have sufficed for a lot of refs but flying in like he did was reckless and if you're going to do that, you're always running the risk of having that happen.

And if one of our players had done it, I would be anxiously looking in the direction of the ref and hoping we're not down 10 but not surprised if we were.

Actually I'm sure the ref did get the yellow card out at first, but then changed his mind when the Wigan players got in his face. I presume they were reminding him of the way Delph treated Villa, so he rightly upgraded it.

[Toronto Villa]

The ref might have also got a word in his ear from the 4th official or linesman. It was a truly dreadful challenge and he absolutely deserved a red. Had he made full contact or simply if the other lad had his led planted, that's a very, very nasty injury.

Oh and fuck Delph

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Can I still criticise U2 fans?

result of the season so far

[AlexAlexCropley]

Cook had to be restrained in the tunnel after Guardiola had a moan.

Having said that, Guardiola seems to have been very gracious afterwards according to these quotes. Nice change from the whiny twat Mourinho after every game.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: Congratulations for Wigan for the qualification. We did absolutely everything, we made a mistake and this kind of game is like a final. OK, we accept the defeat. Congratulations to the winner.

On Fabian Delph's sending off: "Red card. It was the decision."

On apparent clash with Wigan boss Paul Cook in the tunnel: "Nothing happened."

More on the game: "It was like a final. They had one shot on target. I don't have regrets with the way we played, the performance, the heart. I judge my players on intentions and not results and the intentions were good.

"Wigan won, congratulations to them and now we rest to prepare for the League Cup final."

Let's just say it came over on the radio as less than magnanimous.

The way it has been reported makes him sound like a twat. Haven't seen the interview myself, mind.

[Risso]

He's obviously a very good manager, but I think he comes across as a twat more often than not.

just seen the sending off incident

i'm not a Delph hater in fact quite the opposite but it looked to me a straight red,
i'm all for football being a contact sport but the guy is flying in from a distance away with his foot way of the ground cant see any other result than the one he got

[Risso]

I thought it was a sending off, and I'd have no complaints if it was one of our players who'd been sent off for it.

[Tony Erdington]

if that was a red , there were other reds on that pitch, poor refereeing "again".

[olaftab]

A yellow with a strong warning may have sufficed

You mean if, for example, a player was yards offside the ref should allow the goal to stand but tell him in strongest terms to be not offside again when/if he scores?😉
