That being said Paredes provoked him then dived to the ground, he should have been booked too.

To be honest a yellow seems fair to me, he barely did anything.

He used common sense which is in very short supply in football. They are 99% given as a red though. See the Martial red card recently.

Agreed, I was fully expecting a red.

It wasn't nothing - the guy headbutted him, it doesn't matter if there wasn't decent contact and it didn't hurt much. You can't let stuff like that go on.

no movement of head - rather he turned his head and the PSG player made a meal of it

I think the problem is even with VAR refereeing decisions are inconsistent. How can that be violent conduct +automatic red in 99% of cases and then suddenly only a yellow is given.

The standard of reffing is rather poor in the prem.

This, it’s the inconsistency and the precedent it sets.

Nobody was saying it actually hurt him.

This is what frustrates me. It is obvious we are being swamped in midfield. Ole should be making subs at half time without fail. Bringing in more attacking minded midfielders.

Playacting in football is absolutely disgusting, it’s making a mockery of the sport.

I mean its a red for violent contact. Was that violent? Was that any more violent than digging someone in the ribs or kicking them intentionally to bring them down. Theres a big difference between what Fred did and an actual headbut.

As soon as I saw it I was 100% sure he was going to see red because thats what happens. Glad to see the ref using common sense and hopefully it will set a precedent. I would honestly rather see the player going down like a **** get the card in these situations. That didn't hurt and he instigated the incident.

He hasn't struck him with his head, the PSG player got up in his face and he pushed him. Not a headbutt in a million years.

Need to stop trying to walk it into the net and take some shots at goal.

adam cool dude · 2 Dec 2020 at 20:33

Yes baby.

vanandjuanunited · 2 Dec 2020 at 20:36

Thank you PSG

Exactly. It was exactly the same as Pepe’s. So why did Pepe get a red and not Fred?

It's violent conduct. What is the intention behind Fred's action other than violence?

Shamikebab · 2 Dec 2020 at 20:36

Lucky, but I guess they got a lucky deflection for their goal too

By that logic it should be a red for both, why else has Paredes moved into contact with his head?

Pigeon_Killer · 2 Dec 2020 at 20:38

How's that a yellow for Paredes? This ref is shocking.

adam cool dude · 2 Dec 2020 at 20:38

Fred need subbing if he makes it to half time. They are out for him.
