mank1234: did you say one viral foul like that on Sane? That is a career-threatning, life ban worthy foul. The guy's studs were clearly showing and the second foot was off the ground, red card everyday of the week. Matuidi's case was a case of a body check with a stamp on the ankle. Ok let me give you a simple assignment. Stand erect with you foot firmly on the ground, then let someone stamp you on the ankle, your leg wouldn't even come close to twisting. But if you are about to move your leg and someone stamps on it, you will twist your leg and get injured. Now had it been that Onazi's leg was on the ground firmly this wouldn't even be a niggle, and nobody would even say yellow card, but within the split second that Onazi raised his foot off the ground, the whole scenario has changed. As a ref, you cannot say that MATUIDI deserves a red card because ONAZI moved his leg at the last minute. These are things that happen in split seconds which opposing players cannot help at all |

If you see nothing wrong in the referees judgment, I can only conclude by saying may all your situations in life be judged in like manner. If you said the ref was fair to Onazi, it will be fair for you too. No personal attack intended. Mickael2: |

Mickael2: A middle finger to sentiments and rule book. We are talking of a team that already had a clear case of injuring a player on their head. A dirty player who made repeated wild lunges on our players. I think Onazi was at the end of one, left the pitch and came back, Ambrose took one. Yet you are talking rule book in a case of a clear attempt to destroy a player. Kompany got a red card for a wild tackle, even though he did not contact the player and also won the ball. 5 Likes

Mickael2: Are you implying that Onazi shouldn't have moved? Besides, the referee should have given him yellow card for at least 1 of 2 earlier bad challenge and this would have been a second yellow if at all you're right. The ref protected them. France are usually protected as a physical side but not African teams. |

TheGoodJoe: funny you should mention Kompany's case. Do you remember the level of uproar that followed that event? Especially since Glen Johnson did something similar the very next match day and walked away clean? So here is the thing, just because the ref in that Manchester derby made a mistake does not make it the norm FINITO |

mank1234: now you are seeing the light. I am not arguing that the ref shouldn't have given him....even a red card before that. My discussion here is based solely on this Matuidi-Onazi incident and it wasn't a red card, definetly a yellow but not a red. That is all |

Mickael2: What you are writing here shows no coherency. I am a City fan and I was bitter with Kompany's sending off. He won the ball, there was no contact. However, the fact is that if Nani did not jump and Kompany contacted Nani, it would have caused a career threatening injury. So I agree with the ref. In that same train of thought, when you consider a clear attempt to injure a player like Dele Alli on Kevin De Bruyne, Puncheon on Kevin De Bruyne, Bennett on Sane and Matuidi on Onazi, it is crazy that it is not a red. Not sentiments or rule book. These were clear intentions to injure players. A red card any day. 3 Likes |

It was French central midfielder Blaise Matuidi assaulting Onazi and getting away with it. Prior to being taken out of the game by Matuidi's horrendous "challenge," Onazi bossed midfield. Bleacherreport described it as an assault and horrendous. Yet someone is talking rule book and winning. Maybe Bleacherreport do not know there is a rule book. 2 Likes |

mank1234: its on the fifa site, I already got banned for posting a link last week. You may probably argue that one of the rules states that if a player lunges in with the intent of injuring a player then it's a red. But I already pointed out to you that if Onazi's body position was slightly different then it wouldn't have been an injury and that negates that rule |

"I am not happy with the officiating," Keshi said, per Stuart James at The Guardian. "On two occasions, he [Onazi] had a very bad tackle and nothing was done by the referee." Matuidi made two attempts to injure Onazi and succeeded on his second attempt. Yet, someone is talking rule book and winning. Baffles me. Maybe Stephen Keshi did not know there is a rule book. 1 Like |

Mikel said of the incident with Giroud: “I got an elbow and the referee saw it and he only gave him a warning, not even a yellow card, nothing. It was bad. We know the game – if you see it, act on it. The ref saw it. He did catch me. I don’t know if it was too hard but the intention was definitely there. I don’t think he is a dirty player. Everyone wants to win for his country. He hasn’t done those sort of things before so maybe it was just one of those things in the heat of the moment.” The bolded highlights the point I am making. It is the intention that warrants the card. The rule book is for cases like a player making a tackle and contacting a player. However, when the intention is clear, there has to be a straight red. There is no room for violence in the game. That was a repeated violent act on Onazi and someone is trying to use the rule book to justify murder on tape. A player who also made a wild lunge on Ambrose. Give me a break. 4 Likes |

“Spanish newspapers had headlines saying Nigeria was robbed; they said the referee cost Nigeria the game,” Henry Makinwa, the ex-Vitoria Setubal striker said.“Emenike’s goal should have stood and why would Matuidi earn a mere yellow card for that crunching challenge on Onazi, who was our best player on the day?“It was a career-ending tackle and that should have earned the player (Matuidi) a straight red card. The officiating was nothing to write home about.” A clear intention to injure a player with a career-ending tackle and someone wants to justify it with a rule book. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: The pix of the tackle was scary but when I watched the video, it didn’t look as bad. It was a horrible tackle and it hurts because the French capitalised on that to win. I’m sure Matuidi would be celebrated in Paris. When I reflect, I remember similar incident in 1988. Nigeria vs Algeria in Maroc 88. Nigeria was leading 1-0. Ademola Adeshina was given a red card and there after, Algeria equalised. Manfred Hoener whispered to Bright Omokaro to use his ruggedness to our advantage, the result...Omokaro went on a tackle against Menad Djamel. Djamel left for treatment, came back with braces all over his leg but it wasn’t enough. Algeria had used all their three substitutes. Djamel couldn’t continue and Bright Omokaro earned himself the nickname 10-10. Even IBB hailed him. We should forget this Matuidi incident and focus on more positive news about Nigeria football. 1 Like 1 Share |

gbosaa: Hoener and Omokaro were wrong. Injuring players is evil. Those hailing him are supporting cheating. I can understand a retaliatory act especially when it is clear the referee is bias. But, never will I support going out to injure a player. That is why I do not like Andre Ayew after he went out to injure Dodo, who was a bright promising Brazilian defender because of his eagerness to win the U20 World Cup. Dodo was never the same after that tackle by Ayew. |
