How is that not a red card???
So if the player is offside you can take them out ... no repercussions!!!!!

The analyst on SSN just said he's having a great game. At the same time I was reading the bbc text commentary which said he's Everton's weak link.
Scumbag
He made some great saves, but should have been off early in the game for his challenge on Van DijkOriginally Posted by The Bloop
He made a least two game-saving saves. But is still mistake-prone.
Good shot stopper and distribution. Pretty shit at everything else though, as soon as he has to make a decision its about 50/50 whether he'll make a good or bad one
Why?
Havent seen it?
Really? A current day Joe Hart but with a nasty streak. Watch him.. in my opinion the way he slides after he has the ball in his hand or the way in which he pushes a straight leg out in front of him when he’s making a catch will injure someone. I don’t know if VVD will be out for a while or not but Pickford is always a moment away from inflicting a serious injury on someone.
Unconfirmed reports mentioned during the Man City/Arsenal commentary that VVD has suffered an ACL tear and will be out for 8 months.
Seems Liverpool were net receipters of VAR last year , this year not going so well .
absolutely horrendous tackle
If they do make changes so that goal-keepers follow through can be looked at as a foul then you might as well call it 'the Pickford rule' - he did it, foul with his follow through rather than injure a player with his follow through, in the world cup as well.
I don't think it is a nasty streak though. It's desperation to make the save and bad decision making.
I think it’s a nasty streak. It may not be his intent to injure but if that’s a consequence of his actions then ‘so be it’ in his mind, is my take.
Just watched the incident and Pickford knew exactly what he was doing.
Agree with above, try for the ball and getting the man is a bonus.
He has a nasty streak in him.
If that happened involving two outfield players then it would have been a straight red plus a lengthy ban.
Generally keepers get a smooth ride these days from referees, you cannot touch them.
I see that changing from now on and expect to see more penalised.
Regarding Liverpool's dominance in the last 18 months to 2 years, it will be severely tested.
They have been lucky not to have any major injuries up til now and teams will take heart from VVD's absence.
I’m sorry but he he does it far too often not for it to be a nasty streak.
Confirmed Van Dijk has blown an ACL. Months and months out.
Pickford will be available for Everton's next game with no repercussions.
I hope his conscience is ****ed though as his 'tackle' was out of order
Living in the same city may be a bit tricky as I can’t imagine Liverpool fans being happy tonight !
yep I hope no brainless Liverpool fans decide to seek retribution
How has Souness got a job on Sky??
If the following is the case then Michael Oliver should be suspended.
Confusion over potential punishment
Initially there was confusion over how the Pickford challenge had been assessed.
There was a theory no action could be taken because of the offside decision. However, while that would have prevented a penalty being awarded, it would not have stopped Pickford being shown a red card.
Evidently, neither Oliver nor the VAR saw fit to impose such a punishment.
VAR can only intervene for offences they deem to be worthy of a red card. If, for instance, they felt Pickford had made a genuine attempt to play the ball - and Oliver had not seen the incident at all - it would only have been a yellow card.
However, they could also have asked Oliver to view the incident again on the pitch-side monitor.
Fast forward to the disallowed goal.
Am I correct that neither the linesman, referee or indeed the Everton players thought it was offside?
If so, then VAR (Mr Coote) should not have used inconclusive video evidence to judge that there was an offside.
VAR is there to alter a match official's judgement if there has been a clear and obvious error.
Back to the Pickford incident ... perhaps Mr Coote could see no clear intent to injure an opponent, just a goalkeeper attempting to block a potential goal threat by making himself as large as possible. The fact that he collided with Van Dyke and caused injury could have been seen as accidental. Viewing replays it appears that Pickford immediately apologies when he realises he has collided with Van Dyke.
Liverpool FC, fans and the media saying that Van Dyke could be out for the rest of the season cannot use the fact that Pickford stayed on the pitch as a reason for them not to challenge for the title again.
Yep I agree its not a nasty streak , yes its a clumsy badly timed challenge ,however its brave as the defender in question is a big unit .
Week in and out defenders like Virgil execute the same brave and rash challenge which carry the same risks , when two players collide Injury is in the lap of the gods . I wonder how many forwards have been injured by Virgil's challenges and tackles ?
I'm sure Pickford has been on the receiving end many times as it is a physical contact sport .
Hey I'm guessing if its was any other defender the news story would not be so newsworthy .an I guess if it was say a Smithies tackle on a Fulham striker, that stopped them scoring in the last minute of a game allowing us to get promoted we'd be cheering from the rafters .
I loved them one on one tackles when I was playing .
Wow. I think you meant to make this post on here: https://www.redcafe.net/
