Mane sending off

[ghostrider]

You can't have rules restricting some players from some parts of the pitch.

What about the situation where a GK has come right up the field for a very late corner or free kick and scored.

Or a GK building up an attack as the opposing team are retreating and him playing the ball further up the pitch to get more range before he kicks out.

That would be too much of a retrograde game changer.

Do away with it.
A goalkeeper command his area and that's it.

This.

Basically, there's no solving situations like these. They will always occur and then it's down to matter of opinion. I can see why the ref would give Mané a red in a situation like that. I also think the GK is partly responsible himself; so yes Toptoon, let's settle for a yellow

Yes but doing that wouldn't prevent actions such as yesterday's as they still occur inside the 18 yd area.

Well in relation to this incident BBC are saying that Ritchie/Mawson were almost identical and that Ritchie looked like he thought he'd be sent off.

If there are going to show these instances; then they have to show then for all teams and maybe have a Match of the Day incident section. Then every team gets equal treatment.

Aye but it'll never happen. Media favourites can't be pulled up for it.

Just read the Beebs report on the their site. 1st thing up was 'Should Ritchie have been sent off'?
