Re: Onana's assault
That's a bit of a strange response for a number of reasons.

The same logic would apply- e:g only the dangerous ones receive a red card (such as the one we ...

I'm in agreement with this. Full force of the keeper flying through a players head/neck. It's 100 percent dangerous, arguably more so than a tackle that might result in a broken ankle/leg.

3 points is the minimum penalty as soon as guilt is proved, so they can't get more than 1 back. I would hope!) On the other hand, that point means that we would have to get more points than them from the next two games. As it stands now, we only need to match them, so assuming they beat Sheffield Un...
