Harsh red for me, hes going for the ball and Ederson dips his head... Mane has to be concerned about hurting the keeper, what about the keeper?

His eyes were on the ball too... 50:50. Unfortunate the keeper is hurt for sure though
 
Doesn't matter that it is accidental, a boot that high is extremely dangerous. So while a red card is harsh, I understand the referee.

Oh I understand it, just think there is no need for a red there. It's a real shame goalie is injured, hate that shit but that's the risks sadly playing a physical game. As for people talking about bias, I couldn't give a shit who wins in all honesty as an Arsenal fan.
 
Mane's actions and the height of his boot were completely reasonable. Players raise their leg that high a dozen times a game. It's not really his fault that the keeper was flying out of his box at the same time while Mane was staring at the ball.

Punishing the result and not the action.

It doesn't help the keeper scrunched down and tried to head the ball because he came out of his box

Yes. He did. Check the replay again, he very clearly makes contact with his boot.

Ive watched it loads during the stoppage, he didn't kick him at all, there is a difference between kicking someone and the contact that was made.

Had his dog run over by Blizzard's CEO
He didn't touch his face.

He must have some crazy vision because he wasn't even looking at Ederson.
So if you break someone's leg but aren't looking that's cool?

Not looking at the opponent you touch isn't a Get Out Of Jail Free Card for fouls. Mané's leg had no business being so high and the ref deemed it dangerous. I guarantee this red won't be overturned.
 
I'm on a forum and shit referee makes his standard shit attention grabbing decision.

City fans in the ground have a player maybe unconscious and they're singing the Steven Gerrard slipping song.

Even at hard time like that, the Gerrard slip will not stop being hilarious. There's not a moment in time when it's inspprooste to think back on that. It can cheer you up in any situation.

Mask has slipped off some of these Pool fans. My word.

Hope Ederson is okay. Looks potentially serious from the way he's left the field.

Oh noes those City fans laughing at a time player slipped, gotta pray for the ref to get kicked in the head because I disagree with him
