The Bear Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 His argument makes complete sense, until you see him looking directly at him the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Never going to happen but just imagine if Sir Alex made a shock return to management with Man United tomorrow in some sort bizarre interim return till the end of season. Where could you see Man United finishing with him in charge with this squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the league 6th and 7th looks to be wide open for whoever can put a run of results together. It's mad but I think it's a great thing for us that once you take the expected top 6 out of it, then that last European place could honestly be anybodys this season given how bad the standard is. We could have a shocker of a season under Rodgers (likely) yet still somehow shithouse that last Conference league position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stick your head in in modern football you’re an idiot for this very reason and as he says it’s a red card. but I do agree with him. He’s not actually trying to put the nut on him is he. Edit: If you want to dig him out for something it’s for stating the obvious as this is the case for 95% of the red cards I’ve seen given for butting in the last ten years.

He's gone to headbutt him twice. The only saving grace for him (if there even is one) is that he's not tall enough to properly plant one in on him. It's a headbutt nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well usually if someone touches you, they’re at the very maximum, a full arms length away. So how far away did he think Anderson was? Poor excuse.

If your putting the nut on someone and getting three games you’d like to think they would do it properly. like I say stupid professional footballers flicking their heads around in anger and getting sent off without even managing to cut a lip.

He’s turned round for the second a bit too quickly and dipped his head in a bit too much as Andersen has completely got In his head.

I think he knew exactly what he was doing, it looked that way, but who knows. If it was any other club, I’d probably just go with ‘yeah, fair point’, I just cannot stand Liverpool. Journalists wading in with excuses a couple of hours after the game just feels typical. It was a red, even Klopp can’t deny that. The excuses will be a ploy to keep it at 3 game ban rather than 4 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t trying to disagree with you to be fair. Just thought it looked daft that the journalist was denying that he meant to do what he did. I never thought it was that serious (in terms of someone actually getting hurt). I thought it was intentional though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Rather stupid excuses re Nunez. It was 100% a head butt. After already trying it once just prior to it….. just complete insanity.

Dictionary definition of a head butt- Agressive and forceful thrust with the top of the head into the face or body of another person. Not sure how you can argue its not a headbutt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s violent conduct - nothing more it’s not a head high king fu kick from ten yards away 3 games for an offence which is effectively covered within the existing laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another ‘difference’ players stick their heads in each other’s faces all the time without butting - it’s not unusual throwing punches is not part of the game in any way there wasn’t enough force in the butt to cause severe injury in any case - if he’d hung around complaining for any longer then he would have got an extra game for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
