Van Persie = Dirty footballer who gets send of on a regular basis referee obviously thought he was trying to kick him in the chest and that warrants a straight red if this was Roberto Baggio when he played it wouldnt have been a card but cuz its persie referees know his a player who plays rough so really he left the ref with no choice
it was reckless, rash and stupid- high boot. Red. Intention has nothing to do with it as it is almost impossible to rightfully determine whether a person "intends" to something or not.
I think that in football (foot being the main word there) you aren't alowed to use your foot to get the ball, how pathetic. Some refs are clueless aswell.. Arsenal for life,
You certainly know there is more to it than that. Only an arsenal supporter or a Van Persie fan would try to justify going into a tackle with your foot THAT high, You're making yourself look ridiculous son - I would just save yourself from further embarrassment and say no more.
@pa20002000 Dont talk down to me mate like your trying to put me down make yourself look bigger. Your first paragraph, is wrong by the way. It wasnt a tackle..... He tried brining the ball down with control. There was no intention what so ever to clip him in the face. So i aint got a clue what your trying to tell me.
@joshthebear1 I missed a third option - an arsenal supporter, a Van Persie fan or maybe just someone who doesn't understand "dangerous play" - it DOESN'T have to be a tackle, you must know that already. Can I give you another word to look up in your dictionary, if you still don't have a clue? "Disingenuous" - that word sums you up best of all.
@joshthebear1 I missed a third option - an arsenal supporter, a Van Persie fan or maybe just someone who doesn't understand "dangerous play" - it DOESN'T have to be a tackle,and it DOESN'T have to be intentional. Look it up - but you must know that already. Can I give you another word to look up in your dictionary, if you still don't have a clue? "Disingenuous" - that word sums you up best of all.
@pa20002000 Mate, chill. Stop arguing. I'll appologise and take whatever I've said that's upset you, back. You're obviously very annoyed and seem to be very wound up by this. I'm sorry for doing that, although it was very easy to do. This was never my intention. Hope you manage to get over it. Leave with love.
@pa20002000 going into a tackle?..he isnt going in for a tackle you fool, you are the one making yourself look ridiculous..you must be a yid or a fucking yank son Piss off
@JulianDugard no, you're wrong; Van Persie goes in with his foot high without looking at the player at all, his intentions are clearly for the ball and he's focused on controlling the ball, it's a yellow card
@samlandon345 Look, as a fully qualified football referee, I know pretty much every single Law off by heart, you cannot challenge for the ball like that at any level off football. whether he was going for the ball or not, it was still too dangerous; too high and liable to end the other player's career. Red card all day.
Wow was that a straight red? You could see he was clearly looking at the ball the whole time. Yes it was a high foot but there was absolutely no intention. Amateur decision.
@ Batmanxtc + seadog94 > you guys shouls read the laws of football if you think thats only a yellow card. It doesnt have to be intentional for him to be sent off. If he ignores all safety about the other players thats a sending off also, which is clearly the case here!
I have no doubt it was not his intention, but his foot has NOTHING to do up that high, so a red card is 100% ok. If he hadn't hit the opponent then maybe the ref could have settled for a yellow. But in this case he got it right.
@cphthomsen Rubbish. His eyes were on the ball. Uefa cut down his suspension from 3 games to 1 when he did that so they obviously felt they got it wrong.
The defender also challenged for the ball after Van Persies attempt to control it.
@josevanreyes It doesnt matter where his eyes were at mate... The rules are very simple, if you show a complete disregard towards safety towards the other players, thats a clear red card. Whether or not its a 1 game suspension or 3 game suspension.. Thats a different debate. But there is absolutely nothing to argue about the card which the ref got 100% right!
@cphthomsen WHat do you be disregard? The defender stuck his head in after Van Persie jumped to control it. He had his eyes on the ball and saw the defender come in very late. It was a yellow card but it isnt a red card.
@josevanreyes Read the Fifa Laws of the game mate.. It says: A red card is given for a player showing a complete disregard for other players safety.
And you really can't see that his foot up that high is a complete disragard for the safety of the defender? then you should be watching another sport!
@cphthomsen No it wasnt because van Persie didnt know till it was too late. Your allowed to put your foot up if the ball is unchallenged to control it. The defender was the player who comprimised his own safetly by moving his ahead towards the ball after Van Persie attempted to control it. It was the defenders bravery that caused the injury not van persies high leg. Uefa knew they made a mistake which is why they decreased the normal punishment for a red card which pretty much kills ur arguement
@josevanreyes You need to go read the laws of the game, and then you can debate them. Its a waste of time debating things you apparently have no idea about.
If UEFA or any other govering body decreased the ban, it doesnt prove the red card was a bad call. if it was bad they would have cancelled it.
So go learn the rules. And stop arguing with Ref's who deal with pro players every weekend!
@josevanreyes Funny thing is that i just got promoted to the pro ranks here.. so i can't be that shitty after all.. Maybe its you that is the shitty one defending a reckless act!
@josevanreyes Lol learn the rules, then you can judge. But since i get promoted up a league every season, I guess i'll take the Danish Football Association's word and think i know the rules a bit better than you dude!
it wasnt a flying kick xD he was just trying to puto down the ball ... the other player just stand in front ... he wasnt even looking at him, he was looking the ball all the way.
@BaTMaNxTc Intention isnt the issue here.. Its the complete disragard for the opponents safetu by having his foot up that high.. therefore its a straight red...
Brilliant descion never though he would give a red for that. Have your foot that high and make contact, it is what we referees call excessive force and because of the studs and I think this was a UEFA CL match so anything over ankle height you can get sent off for. By accident but referees have to follow the laws laid down by FIFA. I'm a referee too and have sent off players for this we don't want to but it's a dangerous incident.
the other guy was just standing in the wrong place at the wrong time.... actually he had enough time to move out of the way so it's gotta be a yellow for me
Was clearly going for the ball, but it's still dangerous play, so a yellow card would be more accurate to give out. But can't blame the ref though, he might have seen it as RVP intentionally doing it from his POV.
Its a red card, how the hell is the ref suppose to see if van Persie is goin for the ball, what look at his eyes? I mean come out he could easily have blinded the defender there
yellow card for me. The guy (Robin) did not intentionally hit an opponent, that I struck the ball and that is it. This is wrong, should not red karton.Robin Van Persie is the law!
didnt mean it is dangurous but maybe a yellow or not, the referee only sees it ones, its easy for us to say "hes a shit referee, total wrong decision"
becuase we see it about 10 times, ref sees it ones and his views, not the viewr on the sofa's view or the crowds view
Where in the rules of the game does it say an australian can criticise the inventers of the game. Fact is it wasnt malicious, its a harsh straight red.
Are you and the others class 1 state league referees? I think not. I'm not being arrogant, I'm being realistic. You are arguing with the decision of a FIFA referee who has thousands of hours of experience, and has attending hundreds of hours worth of seminars and lectures on the laws of the game.
Just because this "FA" ,not FIFA, ref has sat through hours of seminars and lectures does mean he is immune from making mistakes.Look at the other nigt in the champions league, the referee was hopeless.
I think it can only be seen as dangerous play though. Which in some cases, i think can warrant red cards. Its a wrong decision though, and shoulda been just a booking for the 'dangerous play' part of it. I hate Van Persie btw, but admire his talent, but it's a bad decision.
it was a red card offence but tht doesnt mean he did it on purpose.....he didnt even see the player comin......but in football u have t b careful all the time n make sure u dont hurt ne1 even by mistake no matter how highthe tempo of the game is like arsenal plays not like dirty players lik joey barton, rooney most of the english for tht matter who doesnt hav talent n wud be glad to break the opponent's legs
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it was totally a red. fans totally blind them selves sometimes. try and think logic. don't worry about being a loyal fan 24/7 and saying shit that's not true. arsenal is a great team, but that was a dirty move.
OMGWTFISWRONGWITHYOU? What has happened to your head? Are you so GODDAMN blind that you can't see VP was looking at the ball the whole time? Eat shit and die in a fire.
This is such a silly red card that ref should take some glasses because robin did not mean a bit of this tackle! I think i only should give him a warning for something like this!
fag, you're a disgrace to all norwegians. just cos ronaldo can be a dick, and you don't like him, doesn't make him gay or a crappy player. go shove your head up your ass and learn a little something about yourself before telling others about themselves!
Look man, he doesn't even notice the other player. How can that be a red card? If he sees the player and run straight to him and then hit him in the face like this,(it still could be his intention to hit the ball) he should deserve a red card. In this case v Persie didn't even knew what happened. Deffinately no red card. Yellow would do just fine. Everybody was probably expecting that anyway.
Well maybe its a red card if you do it exactly by the rules. Then you're maybe right. But 99% of the refs would give here a yellow card. Some of them not even a card, because its just an accident. Would you give a red card?
this should only be a yellow card, dangerous play for having his foot up that high with the studs leading, but it was unintentional as he was watching the ball (and got the ball first).
i´d like to know what all the ARSEnal fans would have said if the defender kicked van persie like that? they would all say its a red card, but because it was one of their players they say it wasnt intentional and he doesnt deserve to eb sent off and so on...
We would be angry of course you moron. How would you react if some player kicked your player in the face? Dangerous play = red, no matter what strip you have on. And very clever 'ARSEnal' grow the fuck up.

I think it can only be seen as dangerous play though. Which in some cases, i think can warrant red cards. Its a wrong decision though, and shoulda been just a booking for the 'dangerous play' part of it. I hate Van Persie btw, but admire his talent, but it's a bad decision.

I can't see how they can give Robin a red card for an accidental kick while they give Rustu a yellow for a deliberate two leged kick in the face

defanitly not worth a red ? the other guy should have used his foot, it was defanitly low enough, and RVP also admited to his actions.

it was a red card offence but tht doesnt mean he did it on purpose.....he didnt even see the player comin......but in football u have t b careful all the time n make sure u dont hurt ne1 even by mistake no matter how highthe tempo of the game is like arsenal plays not like dirty players lik joey barton, rooney most of the english for tht matter who doesnt hav talent n wud be glad to break the opponent's legs

yellow card offence...! there is no way in the world it should have been red. Eyes were on the ball the whole time
norcostormrox 3 years ago 3
totally agree. his eyes were on the ball the whole time and he got the ball.
it wasn't even a challenge, he was attempting to control it.
it's a high foot but thats it. yellow card maximum.
it's really disappointing when referees overreact because it looks worse than it is.

it was totally a red. fans totally blind them selves sometimes. try and think logic. don't worry about being a loyal fan 24/7 and saying shit that's not true. arsenal is a great team, but that was a dirty move.

OMGWTFISWRONGWITHYOU? What has happened to your head? Are you so GODDAMN blind that you can't see VP was looking at the ball the whole time? Eat shit and die in a fire.

This is such a silly red card that ref should take some glasses because robin did not mean a bit of this tackle! I think i only should give him a warning for something like this!

ajaxfan34 2 years ago
accident or not it's still dangerous play, and a red card. The foot is about 5 and a half feet off the ground, studs showing.
compare it to a raised elbow also a straight red card with or without intent.
tomazao 3 years ago
Look man, he doesn't even notice the other player. How can that be a red card? If he sees the player and run straight to him and then hit him in the face like this,(it still could be his intention to hit the ball) he should deserve a red card. In this case v Persie didn't even knew what happened. Deffinately no red card. Yellow would do just fine. Everybody was probably expecting that anyway.
tomthomas20000 3 years ago
intent is irrelevant, if you swing your elbow and make contact with someones head it's DANGEROUS PLAY = RED CARD. this is no different.
tomazao 3 years ago
Well maybe its a red card if you do it exactly by the rules. Then you're maybe right. But 99% of the refs would give here a yellow card. Some of them not even a card, because its just an accident. Would you give a red card?
tomthomas20000 3 years ago
Hes raised his foot head height instead of challenging with his head. Just daft play regardless of intentions
WorldClassDefence 3 years ago
OBVIOUSLY an accident...
he clearly was looking at the ball
when he raised his legs and when he
saw that it was heading toward the defender,
he raise him arms as if to try and stop himself.even he looked shock after the red card as he knew it was an accident
zaboonboyz 3 years ago
this should only be a yellow card, dangerous play for having his foot up that high with the studs leading, but it was unintentional as he was watching the ball (and got the ball first).

We would be angry of course you moron. How would you react if some player kicked your player in the face? Dangerous play = red, no matter what strip you have on. And very clever 'ARSEnal' grow the fuck up.
