Chambers should have been sent off with a second yellow in this charge over schurle

Really difficult game for the referee.

The ball's right there, but he studs Alexis instead. I love Cahill, but that's a disgraceful tackle.


Hmm I think it doesn't look like there's intent to do harm - it looks like an accident. And since it's only one footed, I think a red is harsh there.

Saying we should judge everything on intent is just straight up wrong. Obviously Cahill doesn't want to hurt Alexis. But it's a straightened leg with all of Cahill's weight (so 80-90 kg?) behind it. Alexis' ankle would have quite possibly snapped under that. It's a clear red. That said, I can see that being hard for the ref to adjudge and why it's been given a yellow.


I didn't say we SHOULD judge everything on intent.

But maliciousness is a factor - it's in the rules - for determining whether something is a red card or not.

It isn't a clear red because it very obviously looks like a mistimed tackle, missing the ball, rather than a deliberate attempt to do Alexis in. What Cahill meant only he knows - but to the referee, in a split second decision, it doesn't look malicious enough to warrant a red card.

I did say that I can see why Cahill's not been given a red. I even bolded the first part of that statement to make it clear.

Yes. You also said 'it's a clear red.'

I love how even the half time and after-match show is something to look forward to when you've got someone like Gary Neville breaking down a game. I wish Austrian channels would start learning from that.

Jeez, Courtois being treated by paramedics, and is at hospital, hope he's okay. Looked like bad concussion but with bleeding from the ears could be a lot of bad things.

Upon looking at the replay, Kosc should also have been sent off. Oh, well.

Pretty sure that's for precaution, and I hope he's fine.

It's a weird compulsion not to treat players with head injuries and it can be life threatening. Courtois should have been subbed immediately.

It is just for precaution to take him to hospital, but still.

Listen, the ref sent a precedent with the cahill challenge. It should have been straight red but chelsea get away with those top of the field play stopping fouls without getting yellows and arsenal don't. Shit refereeing going on. The cahill challenge changed the game completely. Chelsea realised they can get away with anything and btw the shuurle freekick? The guy dived.

Courtois looked like he was completely blacked out for a few moments. I almost feel like, in scenarios like that, it should be possible to change players without it counting as a change. Because that's dangerous, life threatening at times. The team shouldn't be punished for it by having to make a change, and they'll always be opting to keep the player on if possible at all because otherwise they're "wasting" a change. That shouldn't be the case.

Gary Neville believes Cahill was very lucky not to be sent off for a nasty foul on Sanchez.

"The game changed after that. It came alive and became a lot more difficult for Martin Atkinson to referee after that and he is finding it difficult.""

I'm inclined to agree. I would like a system of one 'free' injury sub. Players' wellbeing shouldn't be second to tactics.

You could have a retrospective punishment if they fake it to grant another sub or something. Like a 3 game ban.

There are medical staff on the pitch, they should be able to deduce if someone is injured. And I'm only talking about obvious injuries. Like, if someone's bleeding or passed out or something like that.

How long before every game you have players faking head injuries? My money is on 2nd game

edit: Nobody is going to care about retrospective punishment, like they don't care about it now.
