First on MOTD - what a time to be alive

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Well if you're in doubt that far away from goal don't stick your bloody leg out.

I don't really see why the area of the pitch matters. He is however the first goalkeeper in PL history to be sent off in the opposition half, apparently. To be honest, I don't like these kinds of red cards. There's no malice, its a clear accident and it isn't the result of a mistimed lunge either. Its a leg in the air. You only have to see his stare directly at the ball above to know he has that and that only in mind. Yellow card all day long for me, because there isn't control.

Why not? He's up for a corner, outfield players do it all the time.

We'll soon have a feet must not leave the ground rule #bantheoverheadkick

[Duty281]

"Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the
front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."

Serious foul play is a sending-off offence.

Red card. Easy decision.

[westisbest]

Just put MOTD on after watching some SOA.

What the fk does Ian Wright look like.
What a c u next tuesday.

[Fernando]

Sunderland to have crisis meeting tomorrow morning It's been 2 games ffs.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wessi - the footballing equivalent of sex on legs. Only getting better with age

[Fernando]

I love this ref Blatant corner and he gave a goal kick i literally don't know how

[GSC]

How Schmeichel got away from that is beyond me.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Anthony Taylor is so bad

[Fernando]

So even Slaven admits it's dangerous play....Interesting....

[westisbest]

Football is not a mans game anymore.
Going downhill bad.

[Fernando]

Is it bad that i actually quite like the Everton away kit

Football hasn't been for the last 15 years Westy

[Duty281]

Jonathan Pearce - the most inept, clueless, pathetic excuse of a commentator.

Clear red.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

So even Slaven admits it's dangerous play....Interesting....

Hes a diplomat, he knows its easier to just say yes

[westisbest]

I think Saints may struggle this season.

i am with you nando.

Everton kit, best away one for me so far.

Red card. Easy decision.

So any tackle?

Nope, just the ones with excessive force that endanger the safety of an opponent. #lawsofthegame

[Dolphin Ziggler]

So, arguably, any tackle?

[westisbest]

Martinez.

What a man. Big fan of his.

[GSC]

It was dangerous without intent. It was a red card.

[Guest]

I think Saints may struggle this season.

Inevitable. They overachieved, lost Schneiderlin & Clyne this summer & now have the drag of European football. Doubtful to make top 10, in my opinion.

[Duty281]

Do you understand the meaning of excessive?

A tackle that uses more force than is necessary. Not any tackle!

[westisbest]

Jermaine Jenas, not so much.

[GSC]

Key for Everton, and Barkley/Lukaku is consistency. Days like these were rare last season

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Everton fans revolting against the owner - why exactly?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Do you understand the meaning of excessive?

I do thanks Duty, but its rather subjective. I don't think there was any excessive force, merely height. I would expect a referee, and anyone who watches football, to know that wasnt excessive force. Arguably, any tackle can endanger an opponent.

[GSC]

Jenas is probably the best of the motd pundits

[Fernando]

Everton fans revolting against the owner - why exactly?

Because they've signed fk all

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Jenas is probably the best of the motd pundits who played for Nottingham Forest

Fixed that for you mate.

[GSC]

Kenwright overvalued the club and doesn't sanction much spending

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The Martinez book of management; when its good, its REALLY good. When it's bad, it's REALLY bad. He has no idea how to manage outside of their top form.

[GSC]

Jenas is probably the best of the motd pundits who played for Nottingham Forest

Thanks mate, didn't think it was obvious enough

Why not? He's up for a corner, outfield players do it all the time.

I saw a short clip on twitter. Now I've seen it on MOTD I can say I've never seen an outfield player be so careless with their foot up like that. Clear stupidity from Adrian.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

To be honest, I had to wiki to check I was correct. It feels like a long, long time ago!

I think it was a kick, not really a tackle, which qualifies as excessive force.

I don't think there's much argument.

[GSC]

Harry Kane back to earth campaign in full swing

Yep but they've kept all their main young prodigies...hardly a terrible situation. And there is like a few weeks of the window left...

[Fernando]

Harry Kane back to earth campaign in full swing

He's my Fantasy Football side, Hence the goalscoring drought Pretty much anyone in my side goes on it (ive added Payet & Jerome now for sh*ts & giggles)

Its not really a kick though, is it? Its a hanging leg. Watch it again, he's got his foot up to control the ball, so there's no particular force going, as you hang the leg there to do such a thing. I think its a common sense one that the ref is showing he basically has no understanding outside of reading a rulebook.

[GSC]

One the last players from our academy to amount to anything since the current crop

Are you sure?

Yes. I honestly can't recall seeing a player turn and lunge so carelessly in one motion. I know players can go in with studs up or stick a leg out carelessly but I've not seen someone be dangerous in the way Adrian was.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cracking comeback from Stoke, who were unlucky to lose last week. Spurs need to sign a few players, a striker and a central midfielder definitely.

[westisbest]

I think spurs will do sh1t this season.

Bottom half from them.

Oooh yeaaaaaah.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

It'll be for the best of the premier league if both north east clubs go down this season

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Sunderland need to stop holding on and just go. They haven't been enjoyable, umm, ever? Well, I liked the Quinn/Phillips spell I guess.

[westisbest]

I think we signed the wrong Ayew brother.

Close Tim.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Sunderland need to stop holding on and just go. They haven't been enjoyable, umm, ever? Well, I liked the Quinn/Phillips spell I guess.

Just complete nothingness. Could do with a reset, get rid of the crap and build a real core in the championship
