Very reckless from Roofe but it can happen in a moment of frustration, he went for a ball he had no right to go for. It was as clear a red card as we'll ever see. Absolutely not, IMHO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again IMO he has every right to go for that ball, he could have scored if the keeper never got there or stayed back. These things happen quickly in games and once your mind is made up if you pull out then you can get injured. It was unfortunate what happened but he had every right to go for it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have every right to go for the ball, there was a goalkeepers face in the way! It's just like a defender doesn't have every right to go for the ball if they are behind the opposition player. It's endangering an opponent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly you spend a lot of time on a team you come across as hating. He got to the ball well before the keeper. if that had been 2 foot lower it's a pen and a red card for the keeper. he has no idea where the keeper is and the keeper is really brave to go in there and win the game in that moment. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I just don’t defend what is indefensible. If I back Roofe there then the way I see it is I have no right to condemn any opposition player for the same. It was awful, regardless of intention or not. I don’t see how anyone can say he has the right to go for that, studs up, head height and jumping. As for your other comment, I think you just read what you want to. Edited March 20, 2021 by PoohBear 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's endangering an opponent. in your opinion I've said I see differently, he was watching the ball not the player and the goalkeeper came rushing out, there's a split second to make a choice and he did what I would have wanted any player to do which is go for the ball and try and score. he did not mean to hurt the keeper but unfortunately he did and rightly got sent off but it was a misjudgement and mistake, you can keep going but i've said and explained what i think, 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t make up my mind. @PoohBear and @johnnykhave different opinions. Either could be right. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is zero intent and we should recognise that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
