[Football] Tomorrow - is Jose Izquierdo day

[Dave the OAP]

Look at all those Colombians......bloody hell what a noise and what a huge contingent of fans!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

So happy to see him starting, good luck Jose!

 

[Two Professors]

Come on Jose!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Need a VAR decision on that coin toss routine. Columbia pointed out to ref that they wanted to line up opposoitely to how they initially set up. Now the sun's in the Japan keeper's eyes...

 

[Coach_Carter_92]

Good start...

 

[pasty]

1-0 Japan

oops

Penalty goal for Japan, red card for Columbia in 3rd minute. This could get tasty

 

[Billy the Fish]

Looked like a harsh red, I think he was trying to chest it so not deliberate

 

[Eeyore]

Not sure why they are disputing that. Ref called correctly. Red card.

[Two Professors]

Coo,brave referee!

 

[Eeyore]

Looked like a harsh red, I think he was trying to chest it so not deliberate

Stopped a goal though. Ref had little choice.

 

[brakespear]

Sorry, supporting Japan on this despite Izquierdo. Bad fan

Not sure why they are disputing that. Ref called correctly. Red card.

I thought the new rule was that you couldn't concede a penalty and be given a Red Card as it is Double Jeopardy

Really? blocked a shot on goal with his arm, it's an automatic red card.

I thought the new role was that you couldn't concede a penalty and be given a Red Card as it is Double Jeopardy

Only when a player makes a genuine attempt to play the ball.

Didn't know about that one. Although I guess it doesn't apply here.

 

[Ernest]

Amazing hearing commentator talk about us and our transfer targets

 

[Dave the OAP]

Is haraguci linked with us?

Didn't know that

Seems to have been a penalty in the majority of the opening games so far. They don't happen that often in league games do they?
