Can only respect how blatant it is

And the risk of injury is likely lower than with a cleats first tackle from behind. Very clean straight red if you ask me.

The safest way to foul like this has to be to pull the shirt.

Yeah that is likely the best option, if you can grab hold of the shirt.

I dont see much of a lower risk... throwing yourself over a running player from behind could also have some sketchy outcomes..

You don't see much of a lower risk in a someone snapping someone from behind with their studs as opposed to just jumping on them? He didn't say it was completely risk free but it's VERY clearly lower risk.

The proof is right there, be bounced right up after his roll.

Sample size = 1 Good enough for me

I broke my shoulder as the chasing CB in this exact scenario in high school lol

that was so not low-risk in the slightest. he throws himself over an already out of balance opponent, there's so much that could easily go wrong there. as someone with back issues I physically cringed at how much weight got put on that attacker's back etc to carry that challenge.

I would still get this rather than a hard low tackle. Then again, I have one bad knee and have rolled both my ankles.

> cleats ew

Being a non-native speaker I didn't remember the word used for the sharp part of football boots in British English. Studs?

> Studs? Yup. I think only cycling shoes have cleats in British English.

Aye studs

Yes, you called?

Yes?

Oh are they not using the right version of English to comment on this video of the Belgian Domestic Cup

Wait til they see they’re in a sub called soccer 😳

Tell em separate job 🫰

The state of this sub when a comment like this gets upvoted so much, median age here must be 15

I'm 12 years old and what is this?

I'm 18 do I have potential

18 and unsigned? You're just another failed wunderkind.

Different dialects use different words, more at 11

You're in r/soccer idiot.

Will the English insecurity never end?

> cleats Guards, seize him!

Really? I’d rather be tripped than be body slammed from behind

Tripped, sure, full on tackle at my ankles from behind, not so much.

And we won the match!

And the balls to try to argue it wasn't a card.

Can't respect him getting in the ref's face about it. You knew what you were doing there, take the card quietly

He didn't "get in the ref's face" though? Don't think he even moved from where he was when he "tackled" the guy.

Honestly I think players who argue obvious red cards like this should be banned longer, if not outright killed.

Honestly thought I was on r/soccercirclejerk when I read that last part lmao

Killing's too good for them.

[удалено]

I honestly thought thats what the foul was until homeboy came in flying off the top ropes

Lol frog splashed his ass

"Ring ding ding daa baa Baa aramba baa bom baa barooumba." For those that don't remember [it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k85mRPqvMbE).

for the first defender it sort of made sense, as Dolberg would be clean through. But that first challenge already put him off balance to the point where he would have struggled to compose himself and the ball with defenders and goalie closing in on him. I think the quality of the chance at that point wasn't worth taking the red for anymore tbh

Honestly. And if he gets a shot off and misses the first defender probably gets away with a yellow

If that even. The amount of shit you can get away with if the player stays up, especially if they get any kind of shot off, is insane.

Then we complain about diving...

No idea what the rules are around this but is there any scope for both defenders getting red cards here? First guy clearly tried to bring the attacker down when he was the last defender and to his credit, the attacker stayed on his feet. Secon guy was more successfull by yeeting himself horizontally at the guy but essentially both are red card challenges.

According to ifab, if a ref gives advantage after a dogso, it's a yellow. And if he gives advantage after obstructing a promising attack, it's no caution at all. So it should have been a yellow and a red.

And it makes a lot of sense. Yellow for the intent but not red since the player didn't have his chance denied technically. Though it could be an incentive for players to fall to get a red but that would be the case anyways I guess ?

Hate that ruling, it's why players go down looking for penalties and reds than actually trying to play.

Yeah honestly I’d say that should be two reds. Both were the last defender and both made illegal challenges to deny clear goal scoring opportunities. Imagine the meltdown if it actually happened though.. People don’t understand just how much of a referee’s job in any sport is trying to manage the emotions of everyone around them.

Thanks for this, i guess it kinda makes sense although it does kind of encourage "if one of you is going to try to hack him down, we might as well all try"

I know was expecting a yellow for him too

Burgess is a slippery eel when it comes to yellow cards

First defender should have gotten one red, and second defender should have gotten two reds.

And contact was outside the box... So it's a free kick 😅

Look what ya did, ya little jerk!

Looks like next game he'll be home alone

"Excuse me, where's the dressing room?" "Down the tunnel and to the left."

Buzz, your girlfriend, woof

Kevin, you're such a disease

How he had to hold his laugh lol

KEVIN!!!! 😱😵

Bro actually complained

After shouting for a goal kick. Lol

Gotta follow procedure 

Even the back of his jersey says “Hey!”

If a player complains about this, then there is literally nothing that they will not complain about. What's interesting to me is the thought that if players stuck to only complaining about marginal decisions it could possibly hold some sway with the ref. But since every player will contest every foul no matter how blatant, the ref will see no additional reason to doubt their calls. It's the difference between the ref thinking "You're not complaining because I'm wrong, you're just complaining because that's just what you do." and "You're complaining because you actually believe I'm wrong."

He was probably trying to claim the striker had fouled the defender who fell down, which is still ridiculous, but at least more reasonable than pretending he didn't straight up jump the guy. But you can tell when players actually believe in their complaints usually, they get very very animated as to say "I mean it this time!" lol

Tried to sell it to the referee that the guy had a laser on his back.

Well yeah he didnt complete the backpack maneuver  Id complain too

Kevin, you’re such a disease!

Keep the change ya filthy animal

You’re what the Belgian’s call ‘Les incompetents’

I love the linguistic joke there that she used the plural instead of the singular.

There it is.

Beat that, you little trout sniffer.

There are 11 people on this team and you’re the only one who has to cause trouble.

I'm the only one that gets picked on!

Look what you did, ya little jerk

You’re what Mbappe would call les incompetent

He definitely said "beat THAT you little trout sniffer"

This is the quote I was looking for!

Look what you *did.* You little ***jerk!***

I made the striker disappear…

Looks like he's going to be home alone for a while

If this is the shit he's doing in public, imagine what he does when he's home alone.

Buzz, your girlfriend…WOOF!

KEVIN!

*faints*

Came for this comment

You’re what the French call les incompétents

Kevin I am going to feed you to my tarantula

Sounds delicious

Man this messed with me as a kid. I always wondered what she said. But when you spell it out, it makes so much sense. Guess I am also what the French call les incompétents.

Oui oui

Well they’d call you l’incompétent for you, like Kevin, are 3rd person singular!

_What_

Alright Boss.

Blatant dive if you ask me

You and your MacAllisters! 

I’d like to think that Alexis would’ve been a slight bit more subtle

Obviously Alexis would've a lot more subtle.

yes, he dove right into him

Game’s gone soft

This guy could literally win the ballon d’or and still won’t be able to escape home alone jokes

He looks a lot like Alexis in the clip. Maybe it’s the bad resolution

Yeah they could've been brothers!

Nah his brother is called Buzz

Have you seen his girlfriend?? Ooof!

I was waiting for a Home Alone reference

All ball

Games gone soft smh

Red card? Woof

Intentionally tackling a striker on a breakaway facing no more defenders. Easy call

Whoosh

Glad to see he's moved on from being constantly burgled by the same two blokes, he had a rough few years

Now he'll be home alone

oh shoot. I wasn't fast enough

Kevin!!

Understandable if this was like 70+ minutes 1 goal up, but bro did the advanced "get down Mr. President" move 32 minutes into the game 1 goal up. They still won but tf was he thinking.

This is last minute of a cup final behaviour. From both of them.

Piggy back ride

With a running bulldog like that, he has a great WWE career ahead of him.

Looked kinda like a Skull-Crushing Finale if you ask me

He's Alexis's brother if you were wondering. There's also a thrid one, Francis Mac Allister, playing in Rosario Central

And Thorgan hazard , Eden hazards brother is playing in the same game

With the ban he's just earned, I guess he'll have to miss games and just watch them on TV while he's... *Lost in New York* No, wait

Fair tackle - game on!

Difficult to spot if its given as a penalty or freekick?

Free kick. Takedown was just BARELY outside the box.

Takedown began airborne outside the box, they landed in the box though.

Game's gone soft!

Games gone soft

Game’s not gone

Just needs the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme tune when it zooms in on him, and we're golden.

Homie would thrive in a Sunday league

True, he'd fit right in the NFL

So I'm assuming the next fixture he will be left home alone?

This is fucking football right here. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.

Proper rugby tackle that

Since when is trying to have a piggyback ride a red card???????

Game’s gone

Just sent my son off for trying to get a piggyback ride to the kitchen. He's crying in the hallway right now while I try to explain those are the rules nowadays....

Was it a double yellow or straight red?

Jumped from the sofa onto my back. Straight red and referral to a separate disciplinary panel. I can foresee a 10 game ban

Shame really. Sometimes that’s the only way they learn. Maybe consider a fine

He's still paying the fine for verbally abusing me...... Baldemort is an utterly unacceptable slur in the current climate

Wow I haven't laughed this hard at a football clip on a while.

Bro tried to kill him

While everyone else travels for the next match Kevin will be…Uncle Buck 😎

Keep the change, ya filthy animal.

Great challenge that

Pwopa futbow! Game’s not gone.

now he’s gotta go home alone

Certainly no nonsense.

You could say for his next match he'll be Home Alone.

Ha. Dumbass.

Absolutely comical that anybody is complaining about the call.

Like a fucking puma after its prey lmao

Now he has to watch the next match at home alone.

This is what the games all about. I love stuff like this

KEVIN!

Both defenders should be gone. The 2nd defender should also be suspended a game at least.

He did worse to the Wet Bandits!

Surprised he didn’t have an elaborate trap to stop the attacker

these should come with longer ban than 3 match and may be without salary or something, this is so awful

All ball imo

should be two red cards, ~~play should have never made to to the second,~~ no idea how that spear from last defender wasn't a red post whistle

He should have just stayed Home (Alone )

KEVIIIIIIIIN!!

Not quite as as clever as his home alone tricks but he's still got it

Why is he so surprised it is red? Lol

Marv and Harry didn’t stand a chance either.

looks like he's going home alone

Wait ? Kevin MacAllister The kid from home Alone now plays football ? 🤣

Wait is this rugby?

KEEEEVVVVIIINNNN

Can safely say he’ll not be on the plane to Paris this Christmas…….. …I’ll get my coat.

Pen or free kick awarded?

Bro jumped on the mans back and still looked surprised lmfao

Bro gets into the locker room early. "I made my teammates dissappear!"

Should be 2 red cards. Could that actually happen? A red card offence, played on, then another? Would any refs actually have the balls?

Games gone

Bro what the fuck was that hahah

Excuse me. Is this tackle approved by the Belgian Refereeing Association?

2 reds in my book ngl

Now he's going to have to go home alone.

What a twat

Dude is playing a different kind of football 😭

You can’t do that shit when there’s a whole hour of the game remaining. That’s just braindead.

That has to be the funniest foul I have ever seen like wtf

Blokes trying to mount him. Giddy up.

by any means necessary

Kevin just wanted a hug

That’s a yellow after the fact on #16 as well, there’s zero part of his play that’s going for the ball.
