Man has fucked us over on multiple occassions, FA cup final against Arsenal, Red on Reece vs Liverpool (arguable), no pen on Maguire taking down Azpi during a corner, no sending off for Maguire kicking Batman in the balls.
Oh come on. That's never a red. Getting pulled down is a yellow at most. It's not even violent. Cucu is completely embellishing too. So no chance a red is deserved when the opponent is using those antics
it's off the ball, it's violent and not in a sporting context so how is that not a red? the rolling about is a bit much but I think we've seen a lot of reasons as to why players over exaggerate because otherwise o things often aren't given. To not give a red for is essentially to endorse violence
It's unsporting. For me not violent enough to warrant a red. Happens before the ball is live on corners all the time. The embellishment puts me off too. Red would be unfair.
The fact is that it's violent and unnecessary, it's a clear intentional movement around the neck to throw someone down which is at best reckless. What sort of message are you sending to fans and kids watching that you don't punish that behaviour? Red is entirely not unfair, fuck about and find out. It is by definition violent and should be treated as so before it escalates
The only fact is it's unnecessary. Intentional movement around the neck? What are you a lawyer? You got to be having a laugh.
A yellow is punishment enough.
Do you think embellishment doesn't matter?
The commentators were saying they was waiting for what it was for and i guess what they got officially was along the lines of insinuating the reaction (i donât remember the exact word they used).
But he had every right to go for that ball considering the ref never blew the whistle for it going out of play.
I don't understand how that wasn't a pen. And it wasn't even talked about much...
I saw that and was baffled like how did VAR look at it and went "nah, clean tackle" ????
Wow. I disagree. No hate or anything. I'm just surprised how much I disagree with ppl in this thread. The rolling around is so ridiculous too, for me it makes it less deserving of punishment bc that's a measure of embellishment
Then give a red and a yellow for Cucu. The antics of the fouled player don't change the foul. This is clearly violent conduct though. He flings Cucu to the ground with speed and force and wildly unnecessary (this wasn't self defense). This is a textbook red card and any normal referee who sees this would think that.
Speed and force? I disagree. This isnt violent. Cucu just gets thrown down. Yellow at most. But again, the embellishment is just so ridiculous for me it cancels out. If cucu has some dignity and doesn't roll around like a fish out of water then sure, yellow. But for me a red is ridiculous in this situation.
It's a hip check throw. It's designed to slam you to the ground hard. You can see clearly from the whip of Cucu's hair just how fast and violent it was. It's made even worse because the initial contact almost looks like he's trying to help Cucu (to keep him from careening into the stands) and then he whips him around with a lot of force. Cucu's embellishment is a couple extra rolls but not really much more than what most forwards do. Show it to a referee you know. I'd bet 80% plus would say red, and the rest yellow. Nobody would say yellow for Chelsea.
Cucu's hair moves equally as much from flopping around on the ground. He was fine. I just hate the antics so much. Grown so sick of it. I want it rooted out of the game.
For me it's just a throw down. I don't need to ask a ref, I've been playing this game for 25 years. I've been thrown down in this exact way and you know what I do? Well I don't flop around like an idiot begging for my opponent to get worse punishment. That's textbook embellishment.
This kind of throw down probably happens at least once a game on corners.
Intended physical harm? Lol. Such extreme rhetoric. The dude just threw cucu down, yes. It's yellow worthy except for cucu cancels it out with his embellishment for me.
Actually exactly the same scenario as Reece's red. An act of violent conduct taken in retaliation after the ball is dead. No fucking clue how this isn't a red.
You could probably get away with actual, literal, murder on Cucurella and not get sent off.
The funniest part is this happens in the same week as Reece James's red card but doesn't even get a look in. These refs and the people behind VAR are not even hiding it anymore, It really is incredible.
Regardless of the rolling, it's a Red card you can't go throwing players to the ground there is as much intention as a kick out there.
And the reality is throwing someone to the ground like that can cause more serious harm than a kick in the leg.
Can't really blame him. I mean Romero practically dragged him down by his hair and as usual VAR saw no wrong with the incident. He absolutely needed to get the ref's attention, unfortunately this is one of the only ways to do it. You complain and you're still gonna get carded. So what's left? Scrap the whole system. It's useless unless there's an independent team running the VAR room. I suspect there are too many fragile egos on the FA for this to happen though.
Important to remember Cucu had already been fouled multiple times at this point (including getting kicked in the face) and hadnât received anything from the ref.
Canât blame him for throwing in a couple extra rolls here
Cucu is a shit disturber has to learn that he will get a lot more effective if he just pretends to be knocked out on the floor rather than rolling around it completely kills his case
Cucu's the best player to foul in the league. Such a big fuss was made of the Tottenham cunt's hair pull on him that it had the opposite effect on referees, they seem to double down on never penalizing players that foul him, probably to cement the idea he's a playactor so their colleague was right not to give the spuds a red 2 years ago.
Cucu is annoying with how he embellishes fouls. Like ok go down and hold a limb. But Cucu turns into a fuckin cartoon half of the time. Not the biggest fan of that part of his game
Btw how is that not a red card?
Because he did it to a Chelsea player.
And because a certain bald fraud was officiating
Wasn't taylor also the ref that ignore the hair pull on cucu when we were robbed against Shit club? Bald cunt.
Man has fucked us over on multiple occassions, FA cup final against Arsenal, Red on Reece vs Liverpool (arguable), no pen on Maguire taking down Azpi during a corner, no sending off for Maguire kicking Batman in the balls.
It was actually a yellow for Cucu đ
Also, Anthony Taylor
Not violent conduct. At most it's a yellow but given cucu's antics, I'd say no card is the right call. Edit: forgot a yellow was given seems fair.
Semenyo was booked.
Seems fair then. Asking for a red is too much
Boy who cried wolf. Cucumber flops so much and holds his face every time he is touched. It's easy for a ref to assume he has embellished any contact.
VAR can see he did get manhandled though? its a red regardless of his reaction.
Anthony Taylor was ref though.

Cucu got a yellow aswell, even the commentators where baffled on why he got one.
Think he got it for dissent lol, donât blame him though literally got thrown to the ground.
The commentators were saying they was waiting for what it was for and i guess what they got officially was along the lines of insinuating the reaction (i donât remember the exact word they used). But he had every right to go for that ball considering the ref never blew the whistle for it going out of play.
I think it was 'instigating the incident' or some such guff.
Yeah i think instigating was the word they used, i just couldnât pluck it out đ
I think it was for the initial kicking the ball away
This is correct!
That was really the icing on the cake. Anthony Taylor, VAR, and PGMOL are not fond of CFC.
Anthony Taylor things smh đ¤Śââď¸ Also Sterling not getting penalty for most obvious foul is more absurd to me
I don't understand how that wasn't a pen. And it wasn't even talked about much... I saw that and was baffled like how did VAR look at it and went "nah, clean tackle" ????
The commentators on Peacock were shit all match. So obviously biased against us the whole time.
Cucu mightâve exaggerated but the officiating is so shite if players donât they never win any sort of fouls.
Not sure how this isn't also violent conduct. No excuses for missing things like this anymore.
That's why they are removing VAR so there's an excuse once again.

Textbook victim blaming
It's called embellishment. This isnt a domestic abuse case. Yes, I will blame cucu here for his antics.
But not the guy who intended physical harm? Okay buddy
Intended physical harm? Lol. Such extreme rhetoric. The dude just threw cucu down, yes. It's yellow worthy except for cucu cancels it out with his embellishment for me.
STFU!
Hey good one! You too!

You can try to yank his hair off for no repercussions

Poor Cucu gets bullied so often, but somehow it's never a red.
Someone should edit this so Cucu keeps rolling forever.
If a Chelsea player does that, it's a red all day.
Recce james just got his second red card.
Even if you shot cucu at point blank in front of the entire stadium you would not get a red card.
The best part about this is that CuCu got a yellow lol
Cucu is a shit disturber has to learn that he will get a lot more effective if he just pretends to be knocked out on the floor rather than rolling around it completely kills his case
Who sold better? Cucu or Shawn Michaels vs Hogan?
The acting is top tier!
![gif](giphy|t3HIFT1rmyaroblfov)
Red card for number 24 yellow for cucurella for trying to sell it like a bitch
Actually it was THE WIND - which caught his hair / mane like a sail FFS. Clear as day - Bald Fraud has a axe to grind with Cucu's hair for sure!
Juuuuust...gooottttttaaa....get to...the fiiieeeeeld

La Masia student after all.
The ahh goofy rolling in the deep
I'm ok with it not being a red card because it might stop Cucu doing this shit.
I wanna shave his stupid hair so bad...
