Just as bad potentially as Bennett's on Sane.
City hypocrites.

KDB's wasn't great either. In fact worse thanDelph's v Wigan or Bennett's on Sane IMHO
In fact every time I see Man City
play there are a few hefty challenges. No problem with these tackles going in, but let's have a bit of balance in how they are dealt with. Bennett was made out to be a mass murderer whereas the others seem to be ignored.
Their possession stats are awesome though- so it's OK
Barcelona under Pep weren't averse to getting stuck in when they lost the ball.
Again, you seem to struggle with the notion that each challenge should be discussed in isolation. Just because KDB put in a "bad" challenge in a game, it doesn't mean that Bennett's professional foul was any better. Also, because Sane made a quick return to fitness, it doesn't mean that Bennett's professional foul is suddenly less bad.Quote:

Ive just watched the Bennett tackle again (just to confirm it wasnt a professional foul) and its actually now got musical footage.
Link to the tackle anyone?
Pep sounded off about the tackle and led the media witch hunt against Bennett (who was completely out of his depth against Sane). This tackle was just as bad, if not worse because there is absolutely no reason for Zinchenko to fly in like that, where is Pep condemning it? 'protect the artists'. He is as classless as Mourinho but the football hierarchy of this country has to lick his ring because he has almost single handedly made the Premier League relevant again. Gets on my nerves.Quote:

My problem is double standards.
And I think I have got every right to have that problem.
See- for example, you jumped straight on the Bennett tackle, but have not condemned one tackle since.
Double standards from you are no surprise- if there's a chance to criticise anything about our club, who you can't even call Cardiff CITY, you'll be traitor on it.
In fact you wouldn't even have commented on this unless I had mentioned it.
I've given plenty of reasons why I think Bennett was hard done by from the pundits and press and every week I see more evidence that I was right and that challenges by Premier league players are not being given anywhere near the attention that his was or described with the same OTT vitriol and dramatic terms.
I will never stop defending our players or club if I think they are being treated unfairly and whilst there are bitter and biased people out there who try to spoil things for us then someone like me is needed.
Bennett’s challenge was disgusting anyone saying anything else it just too biased.
Is there any link or photo to the tackle?

Late yes but I don’t think the raised leg actually touches Moses.
Guardian report: "24 mins: Zinchenko has been booked, for an absurd sliding tackle on Moses which took out the player about 20 minutes after the ball had gone. Only a total absence of stud-on-flesh contact kept him on the pitch there."Quote:

Evening Expess: "Referee Michael Oliver played advantage after a Oleksandr Zinchenko caught Victor Moses with a late tackle and Willian forced Ederson to save with his feet. Zinchenko was eventually booked for the challenge but some may argue that was lenient and, after a number of other rash challenges, he was perhaps fortunate not to see a red card."

Correct - more by luck than judgment.Quote:

Do you really expect Guardiola to come out and say I apologise to everyone associated with Cardiff cos Zinchenko's tackle was bad?
Whether we like it or not our manager's reputation goes before him, and though I do think some of the whinging this season has been completely unnecessary I still remember us going mad for weeks about an assault by Claude Davis on Roger Johnson.
Who was the Palace manager at the time that Claude Davis challenge happened? :sherlock:Quote:

StT.

KDB went in with studs showing, with intent
A red card all day long.
agree with this as was the Bennett challenge. both referee's should have dismissed the players and to me that's something that needs to be looked atQuote:

Can't remember who against. Might have been Wigan.
No need to be so sarky 😂
Sorry, it's my default mode on here.Quote:

No worries- it was my mistake 👍Quote:
