1. If it was his intention I'd go to court for attemt of murder instead of heavy assault

    Of course he didnt want to do this, but this is just a terrible action either case.


  2. Then you don't put your boot in his face. Even if he managed to make contact with the ball, he was still going to connect heavily with the other players face or chest.

    Soccer players arent that smart
    Lets hope the player will recover and that this doesnt mean the end of his career.
  4. best wishes for the injured and wishes not to see the field for a loooooooooooooooong time for the beast

  5. High boot, he shoulda been sent off and now receive a ban. u cant go round lifting ur foot that high
  6. Pretty much an automatic yellow card in the premier league anyway for rasing your foot into a challenge, the ref should've have waited to make his decision and made it based on the seriousness of the injury caused.

    The red card could then have been extended by the Belgian FA if they deemed it necessary. Quite difficult to issue bans after the game when the referee has already made his decision as the referee's decision should be final.
  7. at least in Italy if the referee sees and decides the tv evidence doesn't count


  8. Propaganda once again...

    Normally Mavinga will be suspended for a long time on the basis of video-images you can count on that.
    But pfff horrible tackle. Really horrible.

  9. It doesn't count anywhere, I think Of course, I mean live... The referee can't go out to see a repeat of the fault before making his judgement. There can be further sanctions a few days after the match, but during the match, TV evidence is not accepted, yep.
  10. i meant after the match; if the referee "didn't see" something bad (punch kick whatever) and he didn't take his decision and he didn't write anything in his report then the player can be sanctioned by tv evidence days later.
    but it's not the situation. ref saw and judged

    It's still Belgium, so you don't know how things will go...
    I mean, a few weeks ago, a player received a yellow card, but commission corrected it and suspended the player for a few weeks...
