Should walker have walked?

[clitheroeclaret2]

Ok so the city all stars 11 have beated a mainly Clarets reserves. How different could it have been had city been reduced to 10 when still 0-0.
Looked wild, ?reckless to me, shades of Kompany all over again

[Bin Ont Turf]

In short, no.

[Devils_Advocate]

No

[wilks_bfc]

Yes. He rightly got booked for the tackle on Defour but the ref bottled it for his kick on the flag pole

We won’t see it in action again this season

[Quickenthetempo]

No it looked like it was going to be worse than it ended up being as he pulled back.

[Il Duce]

Booking the right decision. Poor challenge. We would all be clutching if we tried to say that paved the way to our royal pummelling.

[Vegas Claret]

no chance it's even close to a red

[Rileybobs]

Need to see it again, but there seemed to be two feet off the ground which is generally considered out of control and a red card offence.

[ALP]

Yellow all the way

[Spijed]

This tackle aside, one thing that is annoying is when commentators say there was no intent.

Intent has no relevance as to whether a foul is a red card or not. It is purely how reckless it is deemed to be, regardless of whether a player intends to get the ball or not, rather than the man.

[Funkydrummer]

They should have all walked, we may have had a chance then.

[clitheroeclaret2]

Notice the ref was quick to consult VAR when Taylor made a great tackle in penalty area.

Didnt see him do it for walkers tackle?

[Goobs]

They barely broke into a jog as it was so I doubt it.

Because there was no need to. He got both decisions correct without the need for VAR

[duncandisorderly]

Yes, but only for a second yellow at some point in the game as I had over 4.5 goals, 15+ corners and 30+ booking points at 300/1.

[IanMcL]

No

They’d have comfortably beat us with 10 anyway

Sort of. Reckless is a yellow card, something else the commentators and pundits repeatedly get wrong.

If it goes beyond reckless it is deemed excessive force and then it' a red.

[todclaret]

No. I'd call it a straight yellow, but nothing more.

[Billy Balfour]

We all should have walked. It was fine at the time - got wet through walking back to the car.
