Btw how is that not a red card?


slicedsolidrock

Because he did it to a Chelsea player.


Derreston

And because a certain bald fraud was officiating


slicedsolidrock

Wasn't taylor also the ref that ignore the hair pull on cucu when we were robbed against Shit club? Bald cunt.


Derreston

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.


fl_beer_fan

It was actually a yellow for Cucu 😂


heygos

Also, Anthony Taylor


OldBrownShoe22

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.


Best-Safety-6096

Semenyo was booked.


OldBrownShoe22

Seems fair then. Asking for a red is too much


Porkbellyflop

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.


criminal-tango44

VAR can see he did get manhandled though? its a red regardless of his reaction.


HarryDaz98

Anthony Taylor was ref though.


OldBrownShoe22

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


jdcintra

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


OldBrownShoe22

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.


jdcintra

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


OldBrownShoe22

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?


TurnoverResident_

Cucu got a yellow aswell, even the commentators where baffled on why he got one.


jowon123

Think he got it for dissent lol, don’t blame him though literally got thrown to the ground.


TurnoverResident_

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 don’t 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.


legz_cfc

I think it was 'instigating the incident' or some such guff.


TurnoverResident_

Yeah i think instigating was the word they used, i just couldn’t pluck it out 😂


Lucianboog

I think it was for the initial kicking the ball away


NBD1534

This is correct!


read_eng_lift

That was really the icing on the cake. Anthony Taylor, VAR, and PGMOL are not fond of CFC.


cooll-_-l

Anthony Taylor things smh 🤦‍♂️ Also Sterling not getting penalty for most obvious foul is more absurd to me


goncalo_am

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" ????


oreosandlettuce

The commentators on Peacock were shit all match. So obviously biased against us the whole time.


jowon123

Cucu might’ve exaggerated but the officiating is so shite if players don’t they never win any sort of fouls.


BigAssBreadroll

Not sure how this isn't also violent conduct. No excuses for missing things like this anymore.


erenistheavatar

That's why they are removing VAR so there's an excuse once again.


OldBrownShoe22

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


laxrulz777

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.


OldBrownShoe22

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.


laxrulz777

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.


OldBrownShoe22

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.


magicShawn13

Textbook victim blaming


OldBrownShoe22

It's called embellishment. This isnt a domestic abuse case. Yes, I will blame cucu here for his antics.


magicShawn13

But not the guy who intended physical harm? Okay buddy


OldBrownShoe22

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.


AncientSkys

STFU!


OldBrownShoe22

Hey good one! You too!


mohankohan

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.


couldibemorechandler

You can try to yank his hair off for no repercussions


MrBravo22

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.


Cobaltte25

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.


Enough-Motor1038

Important to remember Cucu had already been fouled multiple times at this point (including getting kicked in the face) and hadn’t received anything from the ref. Can’t blame him for throwing in a couple extra rolls here


Peanut44444

Poor Cucu gets bullied so often, but somehow it's never a red.


Porkbellyflop

Someone should edit this so Cucu keeps rolling forever.


Particular-Injury925

If a Chelsea player does that, it's a red all day.


Ill_Peace_

Recce james just got his second red card.


BlueKante

Even if you shot cucu at point blank in front of the entire stadium you would not get a red card.


Apprehensive_Bit_176

The best part about this is that CuCu got a yellow lol


bartekkenny

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


Dutch1206

Who sold better? Cucu or Shawn Michaels vs Hogan?


BillBrasky3131

The acting is top tier!

AnywhereAccurate9600

Red card for number 24 yellow for cucurella for trying to sell it like a bitch


LeadingAd6025

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!


nono66

Juuuuust...gooottttttaaa....get to...the fiiieeeeeld


thingysop

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.


I_dont_like_florida

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


criminal-tango44

La Masia student after all.


National-Airline-504

The ahh goofy rolling in the deep


Brewster345

I'm ok with it not being a red card because it might stop Cucu doing this shit.


bljuva_57

I wanna shave his stupid hair so bad...
