just pure extraction, has no tangible benefit to anyone apart from the bookies

Wasn’t hard to be fair

I didn’t watch united because I was at the emirates so I don’t know the details of the rashford red but reds are now given more often because IFAB seem more challenges and more things a red card and issue stupid guidance that ends up with more things being penalised and less consistency season to season

His anti-red card thing is clearly nonsense

The reason there are more red cards now then there were in the 80s, which he references with the 1985 FA Cup final, is because there are more fouls that are deemed red card offences, even tackles from 10 years ago which would have been yellows are reds now, it’s nothing to do with VAR and just shows how desperate he is for a point against it

what is the “regular season” in football? Surely it’s just the season

it’s almost like footballers basically never give a shit about playing for the team they supported when young

sure but it’s not an immediate process, you build, you consolidate, you build again
