These guys went to a great length to criticize arteta and protect PGMol. But when Manchester United got decisions against them, they are suddenly against var and referees? And United got robbed somehow? Where was that energy with arteta?

This is why Var and referees won’t improve that much. They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.

    He should be responsible for his body

    Yes, and that’s true for other players too. If you dive into a 50/50 challenge at shin height with your head, it’s not a red card for the other player.

    Rashford was stepping to his side, perfectly within his right with where he had possession of the ball. If the Copenhagen player puts his foot or leg under that step, that’s on them.

    Never a red for me and its baffling to me how many people say it is.

      So if I decide to do sliding tackle and you see me going, as you are responsible for your body, its your fault for not jumping over?

        A slide tackle is inherently dangerous. Taking a side step is not. If you can’t tell the difference then I can’t engage in a bad faith discussion where we play hypothetical.
