HMFC01 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Just got sent off in the Spanish super cup. Elbow., straight red. As far as I know it's his first. Although I saw a piece that said he got sent off in 2017 in another super cup match, it was 2 yellows. Apart from that he's only ever received 2 red cards at international level. https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/01/17/video-disgraceful-scenes-from-lionel-messi-as-hes-given-a-straight-red-for-violent-conduct-as-barca-lose-to-athletic-bilbao/ "There’s a tangle off the ball but he clearly loses his temper and lashes out at the Bilbao player, so the ref had little choice but to send him off after the VAR review:" Edited January 17, 2021 by HMFC01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphonseCapone Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I don't see much in it tbh, Atletico player looks like he's trying to body block him, makes an arse of it and they tangle and he falls, but it's too far away for a good view.

Yeah it's not the greatest replay for viewing. I had to zoom in on my phone. Looks like he swung a fist or forearm onto the guys head. VAR must have seen something. That or they just thought he's past it now, who will care ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets away with a lot. Great player though of course, etc, etc... It's his first ever red card for Barcelona as far I am lead to believe on a quick search. He got two red cards for Argentina. One back in 2005, then recently 2019. So he's done quite well. It's the reason I posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Grappelli Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Long overdue and thoroughly deserved. A nasty, petulant little cheat who does stuff like that nearly every game and gets away with it. Usually he gets a free kick in his favour like in the game against Liverpool a couple of years ago. He ended up scoring from it but fortunately justice was done at Anfield in the second leg when Liverpool absolutely destroyed them. The only surprise this time is that a ref actually had the balls to send him off. Usually he has a sneaky punch or kick at an opponent and the commentators trot out the old "he's not that kind of player" line despite the fact he does something like it every other match.

Stephane Grappelli Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Two game ban but Messi and Barcelona are appealing it, despite the fact he rabbit punched the guy in the back of the head and the normal sanction would be at least three games.

Stephane Grappelli Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 In defence of the wee man, it's not actually surprising that he cheats so much when you consider that he plays for the Celtic of Spain. A club which could give even the green and white monsters a lesson in being offended by everything, embarrassed by nothing and thinking the rules don't apply to them. Ronald Koeman has just come out publicly and told his players to dive, as if to underline my point. Hope folk don't mind me bringing this thread back on topic. We've had a poster mentioning Real Madrid, others mentioning Ramos and one of them was also trying to carry over an unrelated discussion from another thread. More faces than the town clock that character, very troubling behaviour indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
