Other Games 2025-26

Why have the even appealed that, it's clearly a red card and totally unacceptable. Moyes should focus on the real problem of why Keane is so fucking thick as to think that wouldn't get picked up.

[LeeB]

I can't believe he's come out in public and contested that, worse claimed it was 'an accident'. Yeah Dave, she hit her head on the door.

[Somniloquism]

It seems they had two reasons for the appeal.

1: The hair pull was an accident - No it wasn't, you can see him reach out and pull it specifically, it wasn't like it was grabbed while he was pulling a shirt or the hand was on a shoulder.

2: The three game ban was excessive. - Might have an argument there but that it is the same three game ban for tapping someones cheek or punching them out. It also isn't the first time a red has been shown for similar actions in the sport.

As for Moyes other comments, I do find it stupid that a deliberate two handed push in the chest is only a yellow and that is pretty much what Martinelli did. But then so did the Liverpool player who was incensed at the initial contact.

I've just seen Keane state that Martinelli's behaviour was a disgrace. Yes the same Keane who ended the career of another player in a revenge tackle whilst standing over him and gloating, and then wrote about it in his book proudly and even still stated that he was in the right, has called another players actions a disgrace.

Not excusing what Keane said or did to Haaland but he would argue Haaland stood over him and said things when he was injured and got revenge. And it doesn't change that Martinelli was a twat.

Just a reminder how Keane got that injury.



And no, that wasn't him having a shot, it was him kicking at/trying to trip Haaland after the former had cleared the ball well ahead of him.

Senegal winning. Good for keeping Everton’s best player busy. (He scored their goal btw).

And so did Jesus who ran half the length of the pitch to get there to do it....ref takes no action shock!

N’Diaye & (I hate)Gueye(s) miss the Villa game. And Keane of course.

Haaland played on after that injury and for his country subsequently. Think it was his other knee that gave out in the end. Keane's tackle was assault but myths have built up over it ending Haaland's career.

Any similar tackles on Villa players over the years? Bocanegra on Delaney was shocking, Grealish getting punched by that scumbag. Must be a few others in the mix?

Bertie Mee on Wesley, I was at Old Trafford when Giggs did Fashanu's knee in too. If memory serves Man U got the free kick.

[PeterWithesShin]

Gerrard on Boateng and Terry on Milner, somehow both escaped serious injury.

Horrible scissors tackle on Wesley

[Yeltzbagger]

Alex Cropley against the Albion

[PeterWithesShin]

Kenny Burns on everyone.
