Fulham v Chelsea kick off 2000 BT Sport 1 • BT Sport ultimate


Mind that’s a blatant red card amazed to see people think it isn’t
That's the SMB way and some are just blind, some are just old school and some are trolls, some even all 3 🤣

I can't be arsed to show slow-mo of the slow-mo as it's clear in the clip below (that someone posted earlier) at 43 secs that his foot direction isn't even on the path to kick the ball, it's going towards the player's leg all day long. I've even see that he tries to avoid contact and his leg is bent. Aye his leg was bent all the way up to contact but the main concern being he kept his studs up at knee height (if foot on deck) after lunging in and having no control as shown in the 3rd replay at 53 secs.

It falls within the rules that @What A Waster posted HERE and most, if not all those saying it isn't a red would be saying it was a red if that was a SAFC player (or their own team's player) being tackled ;)


Lunging in on a path towards the player

The 2nd showing when the Fulham player kicks the ball. Felix's foot is neewhere near the ball's path and the height of the studs up challenge at the Fulham player's leg

Grim foul that!
 
How did you react when Fulham scored the second there mate?

I just burst out laughing. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn’t react. I wasn’t watching it. I was only following it on BBC Sport text updates.

But I heard about it on BBC Breakfast this morning. Personally? Gutted. This is just like the Southampton v Man City game all over again. An unfancied team shocking a top of the league team with far superior football.
 
Nothing going for Potter at Chelsea. He is being let down by the players.
i had been quite sympathetic to potter until recently..he did an interview where he talked down the importance of the winning short term etc and i thought he was getting his excuses in first..that doesnt breed a winning mentality among players...
