Cos he made a “genuine attempt” to get the ball.
New rule last summer

Pish rule.

Didn’t that happen to us in Europe against Maribor?

Rooney rounded the keeper and got brought down,McGinn tapped it into an empty net and the ref decided it was a pen so never allowed the goal and Rooney missed the pen.

Imo that sort of situation deserves a red card,even if it is a penalty.

Made a genuine attempt to play the ball.

No he didn't, it was a blatant foul to stop a tap in to an empty net.

[rico94]

No it's not.

Anyway, I don't have the sound on the football. Why didn't the Dane get sent off?

Yes it is.

It is a pish rule.
But sadly it is the rule now.

He might have went for the ball but he knew if he didn't get the ball he'd bring down the player. Tackle from behind. Should have sent him off. Glad they went out now.

[Aldo1983]

Yes it is.

I'm not having a go at his record. I'm saying that when the tippy tappy stuff doesn't work then shirely there is enough talent there to crack one in from outside the box.

[donsdaft]

Up to the referee's discretion when it comes to the sending off.

I look forward to Shinnie only being booked when he does the same thing in the first game of the season.

What a pity we can’t have a Russia / England final with a German linesman
Semi perhaps?

Wheesht.
I’ve got Croatia in the work sweep & also got £20 on them to win.

My sister bet me £10 there would be a new winner. I still think my money's safe.
