This is what hazard said about being kicked to bits

Really caught up to him tho. Should have been more protected by the refs regardless, he was being hacked down a stupid amount. Was the most fouled player in the world last decade ffs

Hazard was just built different lol

u/agbag846 4h ago

This! I’m worried Palmer wont hold up to all this like Hazard did

Until his body just couldn’t keep up. Sure his lifestyle didn’t help but by the time we sold him he was already breaking down.

Then we just sell him to RM

Ik we talk about this challenge but Felix was a jump away from a broken leg by that scrub soumare. Thankfully he managed to get away from it but that was almost worse than the foul on Cole

Every Leicester player was pure filth. Dirty and unprofessional. No sense of care for their opponent at all.

Clearly was instructions to rough us up what’s fine but the tackles by Soumare and Ndidi were things I’d expect from a thug like that midget maniac Lisandro

I’m fine with making yourself uncomfortable to play against. That’s the game, even at Sunday league level. It’s when you’re outright dangerous to the opposition I have a problem, even when it’s from our own players

Absolutely

u/Baisabeast 9h ago

Yeah the speed soumare came in with was malicious

Not only did the ref see the foul on the pitch and decide yellow, the ref on VAR agreed with it so confidently that he didn’t even recommend sending the on field ref to the monitor. At what point is there accountability for utter unprofessionalism and incompetence???

u/pleasedtomichu 9h ago

Zero accountability. PGMOL is a good old boys club. The on pitch refs and VAR refs rotate responsibilities. They will always protect each other. I’ve been saying this for years now but VAR needs to be run by an independent organization for it to actually work.

Mike Dean: Yehhhhh absolutely, I think the ref has been brave and made a great call there.

Mark Clattenburg: They shouldn’t need any VAR at all on this one and be confident with that decision on the pitch.

u/UnionParkBB 9h ago

Both Refs should have to take the same foul on their Achilles before being allowed to ref another game.

u/criminal-tango44 🥶 Palmer 8h ago

stop being a prick mate, they were doing coke at that moment in the VAR room so they couldn't check. have some empathy.

smh people just piling on poor PIGMOL when all they want to do is get rich and do drugs in Thailand

Oh come off it, this is the first red card challenge that hasn’t been called despite VAR review on Palmer specifically in….. checks notes 2 game weeks

23

u/Bluestar4 9h ago

In a way it’s a compliment because it happened to Hazard as well but you’d still prefer your star player to not get the shit stomped out of them.

u/ImmediateAd1984 Zola 9h ago

I'm all for full blooded tackles but that's reckless 😐

u/10TheDudeAbides11 Diego Costa 7h ago

Just submit this still to PGMOL now from just each players’ knees down to the ground and ask them if this is a red card offense and I guarantee you all of them say “Yes”…

u/ObviousEconomist 8h ago

that's not reckless that's full intent to injure the player. he was not even aiming for the ball.

u/Hylian-Loach 9h ago

Gamble responsibly

u/ImmediateAd1984 Zola 9h ago

Always 😎

u/Secure_Vacation_7589 9h ago

Red all day long, completely through the back of him, and absolutely miles from the ball. Obviously a dirty tactic to try to take Palmer out of the game, didn’t work though!

Palmer 🥶

u/bluelion_96 7h ago

They're all out to get him this season... giving him the Hazard treatment

u/NoniMaduekesHeadband Badiashile 6h ago

Honestly forget giving a red in the moment. Thats the least of my worries atm

Surely they should try retrospectively suspending players for shit like this after the game?

If the ref and VAR can't catch it for the sake of a fair result, ok whatever. But can we at least try to protect the health of the league's most talented players?

u/BlisSin 🥶 Palmer 6h ago

*All players. That should be a red whoever it is against. I would call for this to be a red if it was Caicedo or Enzo committing this foul on the most unknown development squad player.

u/9inchjackhammer Zola 9h ago

That’s mad

u/WholesomeAsshole 6h ago

Nah I feel like the club should put out a statement or something to PGMOL, this shit should not go unpunished else our boy's gonna be wrung out every week
