    Basically same incident as Curtis Jones red card against Spurs, never a red, but I wonder if Man United fans who called Curtis’ red card as stonewall red card stayed consistent and called this one a stonewall red card too.

    That’s fucking horrific. That’s questionable if it’s even a foul let alone a card. If I was ETH I would’ve accused the refs of cheating straight up and copped the fine. That’s ludicrous and exactly the sort of thing VAR is meant to prevent. All time howler here.

    Intentional or accidental, doesn’t matter. Clear red card. Correct decision.

    Just when you think r/soccer can’t have worse opinions than they had after the Newcastle Arsenal game, they come out saying that this wasn’t a red card.

    The reasoning they put behind this opinion is equally hilarious

    Really don’t get these red cards for accidental contact when they let elbows and off the ball incidents go unpunished.

    It’s peak delusion to think this isn’t a red. He lifts his foot and stamps down on the other players ankle, it doesn’t matter if he intended it or not. If Curtis Jones tackle was a red, then this is too.

    Not a man u fan - was this on field or reviewed? Because its clear he wasn’t even looking at the player so it’s not intentional. He has possession of the ball too. Yes it’s bad but it seems harsh a straight red.

    Personally I think red is a bit harsh here, yellow for sure, but that rashford is in possession and doesn’t appear to see the other player I think saves him. Honestly though I could see it teetering red. Really unfortunate accident though, hence why I think rashford shouldn’t have been given red.

    I’m not loving this. Seems like there’s been 4 or 5 reds this year because of where players are ending up with no intention to rather than because of the actual tackle.
