Lokonga
Jesus Red card?
- Thread starter Chief123
- Start date
Didn't Ben White also kick-out at Rashford when he scored our third goal? White slide-in helplessly as Rashford finished it and seemed to me to kick as Rashford went around the goal celebrating - wasn't mentioned in the game or the analysis so maybe I got it wrong, but if he did then that's another lucky petulant Arse; might reflect their squad as a whole.

Don't think Lokonga got anything on the ball. Just lunged at Bruno. 100% red. Crappy footage:
I thought the worst of the lot was Saka on Malacia. Made no attempt for the ball and really went through him out of frustration. I don't know why those aren't punished more harshly.
Just like how VAR disallowed their goal, it should have been brought back and gave Jesus a red card.. I’m all about consistency.
Given how much the Arsenal fans are still moaning about the disallowed goal (obe actual correct decision VAR made), please retrospectively ban Jesus for this. Lets also not forget the Lokonga and Saka’s high stud challenges each of which could have been reds. I don’t think either of them even got yellows for them?
and mind you, at least one of our players will get a red for less than any of these this season. I’m sure.

To be fair, Jesus played well yesterday although I’m not sure he’s an out and out number 9 - lots of tricks and good teamwork but not great on the end of a cross
Yeah I noticed this as well.
It's been like it for ages, but it seems referees are the ones encouraging diving as unless you go down they'll just ignore it (it's easier for them to not do their job...).
I hate the way Spanish teams act, but if we want to be successful (specially in Europe) we need to start playing on the weaknesses of refs and force them into making decisions.
If Martinez was a bitch like some other players he would had fall on his ass and started crying, then it would've been checked and Gabriel Jesus would've got a red card.
I like Martinez.
I like Martinez.
Surprised it wasn’t checked. Was at least a yellow.
If another man doesn't even notice he's been touched then it's not a kick.
This too. It could have been a red easily and it wasnt even a foul by the ref.
So thats why Jesus wasnt a big issue afterwards. He broke his foot on the Ironbutcher!
Seen this from a different angle and there's absolutely nothing in it.
He's in my fpl team so no.
If it had been the other way round Jesus would still be rolling around now. We were told Martinez is a tough cookie and he certainly is.
Seems to be a North London thing, when things don't go there way both Arsenal and Spurs start behaving like spoilt kids.
Yeaaaah, uhm.. you’re kind of just making up your own rules here.
Mine too actually!
You don't even have to hit another player when lashing out to get a red card. You know that right?
Football is a funny world where we're admiring someone as 'rock hard' because he didn't collapse and writhe around after a small kick on his leg.
I can't see this Arsenal finishing top 4 this season. As soon as shit hits the fan and it doesn't go their way, they start acting like petulant children. They will crumble when the pressure is on.
Exactly, think it is intent they go by.
Unfortunately it is they way football has gone. It is such a surprise when somebody doesn't roll around it becomes admirable.
Martinez clearly not a pussy like most modern day footballers,just gets on with it.Wish there were more like him tbf.
agreed.
Well he did join us and tell Arsenal to feck off
You nailed him.
Sorry but this is disingenuous and comes off trying to be contrarian. Jesus kicks him like an MMA fighter would kick a lower leg and there is no argument for "he's just going for the ball" because the ball is no where near them. There was definitely something in it.

I’m sure that was Arteta’s instruction: kick all our players until they react and get a red card. Even for rashford second goal, he was lashed out at.
Hopefully a 3 match ban
That's very true and I do like that, but odd he's now being billed as peak Mike Tyson for it
Exactly, intent to hurt an opponent by kicking or punching is a red card, if you connect or not doesn't matter. Deserved red card for Scholes and should have been red for Jesus as well.
Not only both werent a yellow but Lokonga challenge wasnt even called a foul.

Perhaps Jesus was mad at him because he rejected Arsenal for united.
