[Albion] Rudiger Red?

[B-right-on]

Yes / No?

Yes for me. Both feet left the ground and flying through the air means you have no control. If Lamptey was a half a yard further on, he'd have been hospitalised. Why that's not dangerous I don't know, getting the ball or not.

Can't remember how to do a poll

Red

 

[Canfan]

No, Nothing. But very lucky it wasn't.

 

[sydney]

by the rules of the game it's a red.

 

[Stat Brother]

I don't think it was a red as he was so far ahead of The Lamp.
That said, with him being so far ahead, why do it - nasty piece of work.

He really should have been singled out from that point on.
Had he even thought about another foul he'd have been off.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Definitely red, if only to give Thomas the Tank Engine more to whine about.

 

[BN41Albion]

Funny how Tuchel moaned about the '100% penalty' (an incident that barely got a mention during the game and post match left the presenters guessing which incident he was talking about) as well as Mount's challenge, while conveniently ignoring Rudiger's challenge which was the most blatent red not given you'll likely see

Lukaku’s elbow on Maupay before he started holding him was more worthy of a mention than the two weak penalty claims too

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Two footed lunge, red card.

 

[trueblue]

Imagine it was Dan Burn on Pulisic. Then decide.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Red for me. Completely reckless and was lucky he did not hurt Tariq

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Yellow.

As per post #5 he lunges in front of, rather than at, Lamptey. The guy is a dangerous thug, who continually goes in harder than he needs to. He should have seen red for his dangerous blocking off of KdB that hospitalised the City player, in the CL final. That kind of thing is typical of his game.

But not on this occasion, for me.

 

[Blues Guitarist]

Peter Walton (ex ref) in the Times says a clear red.

Borderline, but yes I agree yellow as it was Chelsea at home. If it had been an Albion player putting in a challenge like that at Stamford Bridge it would have been a red though imo. I am used to different ref interpretations depending on venue and club these days

 

[severnside gull]

By the letter of the law probably red as clearly reckless and out of control but I get the mitigation and if it had been our player I’d have been crossing my fingers for yellow. No complaints.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Not a red. As others say, including the pundits and ex-ref, he was so far ahead of Lampety it wasn't particularly dangerous. Yellow for being our of control is correct.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Red - no doubt. IMO the positioning of Lamptey is irrelevant in this case, as being in the air, he was out of control, and therefore endangering another players safety.

Thought Maupay should have done better on their goal though.

 

[The Optimist]

Red. That type of tackle (two feet off the ground jump tackle) should be an automatic red regardless of any mitigating factors (maybe it is supposed to be).

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Not a red. As others say, including the pundits and ex-ref, he was so far ahead of Lampety it wasn't particularly dangerous. Yellow for being our of control is correct.

Incredibly marginal though, did Lamptey see the lunge coming, and therefore didn’t toe the ball on? We’ll never know, not sure I’d want anything to do with that type of challenge coming towards me, therefore IMO arguably Lamptey took evasive action, which makes it red.

If it had been Dunk or Duffy against Pulisic?

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Not a red. Yellow correct decision.
