PL: Wolves vs Arsenal | Tuesday 2nd February | KO: 18:00 UTC | BT Sport

It’s a pen, but red is very harsh.. First I thought Luiz clumpsily took him down, but getting sent off for an accidental touch is way too much.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Having seen the “challenge” we got screwed. How is that a penalty but the challenge on Saka isn’t?

 

[dashsnow17]

I feel like the whole purpose of red cards has been lost. Like you should send a player off the pitch for doing something dangerous, why send someone off for a defensive mistake when the team gets punished anyway? How can Bruno rake his studs down Xhaka's leg and stay on the pitch but Luiz accidentally clips a guy's foot and he gets sent off.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Luiz has a choice there, stay clear or try a slight intervene for the opposition player to mess up the chance. He doesn't stay clear so it is definitely a foul IMO. The red card is overly harsh though for this. I mean double punishment I thought was part of the past.

Sad things but this is what you get with Luiz.

That's not even a pen, the guy hits Luiz' knee

 

[roz]

No, manager needs to stop playing David Luiz when he has a healthy Gabriel available. Its inevitable that he will cost us.

Shouldn’t you be celebrating the earlier Fener win on the other forum?

Back off Luiz. Not his fault. Not a pen. Not a red.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

No, I’m saying he touches him. People acting like there’s no contact.

You should read the rule. Never a PK and red. Sure there was contact and it denied a goal scoring opportunity. Under the rules, that isn’t a red.

 

[Mo Britain]

No. He tripped on the floor. Look!

Am I seeing things?

You're not. People are so ****ing thick they prefer to further their anti-Luiz (or whoever) agenda even if it costs Arsenal and even if they happen to be wrong.

Not a pen. Not a red card. Don't agree with this? Get your eyesight checked, get your brain checked or take up needlework.

 

[Papa Wonga]

If that was Penandes, he'd get a slap on the bumcheek.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

OK so accidental contact when hes clean through is a red but if he had wiped him out but he made it look like enough of a tackle its a yellow

Well thats all perfectly clear.

 

[Beany]

He’s attempting to run back to play the ball. If he causes an opponent to trip over it’s a foul. I don’t know if it should be a yellow or a red but it’s clearly a penalty.

The guys they him leg into Luiz and collapsed like pack of cards. Laughable rule.

 

[littleboysilva]

Just this. And why? Don’t we have a perfectly healthy Gabriel? ****ING ARTETA MAN.

We’re going full hindsight is 2020 on this. Holding and Luis had been fine as a partnership before this. Gabriel started a game.. and he scored an own goal.

 

[kash2]

**** this ...this is war!!!! lets get them all.

stop fighting amongst yourselves.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Wait Luiz got a red? I go Tesco and everything goes tits up ffs.

 

[MikelHadADream]

That's a red after a VAR check, yet that ugly **** Bruno Fernandes stands on our players achilles and they just brush it off.

Nahhh If we ever get good again I'm going to be such an unbearable **** to these lot. Raging ffs.

 

[drippin]

If you make a genuine attempt to play the ball it's not a red. In this case Luiz didn't attempt to play the ball. It's a red.

If it is accidental, it is not a red. This was clearly accidental. Red was the wrong call.

"Plenty suggested that the 'double jeopardy' rule should have been in effect, resulting in a penalty but not a red card for Arsenal's experienced defender.

However, that is not the case as it only applies to accidental challenges, which the rules state result in a yellow card, while it was obvious that Luiz knew exactly what he was doing."

[Rimaal]

The explanation that **** on BT gave as to why that was a penalty let alone a red card) is literally the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Has some Black Country ****** changed the rules o the ****ing game without my noticing? **** the **** off.

Luiz is still a **** though.

They say there was contact. There wasn't.

 

[razörist]

Surely you don’t play David Luiz anymore in the league? What does it say about you as a manager if you send him out again and he takes a stupid red again.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Difficult to blame Luiz here.

 

[GeorgiaGunner]

No more Tesco on matchdays.
