Mane's entitled to "go for the ball" but not with his foot that high. It's dangerous play regardless of where he's looking (that he doesn't know where the keeper is makes it worse).
Minimum yellow, understandable red. Sky commentators sound like idiots claiming it was barely even a foul. It doesn't happen "20 times a match" Gary you moron.
Ball was there to be won, yellow at most, if that had been Moss sending a Swan off this board would be in meltdown.
Just because the ball is there to be won doesn't mean we are allowed to throw player safety out of the window. He has left the ground and put his studs at eye level.
Ederson could easily have a fractured skull right now and people want Mane to still be on the pitch?
Just seen the replay. Definite red, although I can see how it may have looked a yellow in real time. Genuine attempt to play the ball but you can't go studs first into someone's face
Ball was there to be won when Chico kicked Louis Haha in the chops, far more gently than what Mane did. You are responsible for where you put your feet and for the safety of others. If he'd had Bradders as a coach and kicked him with his instep, with Emerson ducking, might be an argument for yellow. As it is, studs up without due care, red as red can be.

Its a straight red any day of the week. It's not very often I'll agree with John Moss.

This. At first view at match speed I thought yellow but once you see it again it's a red, unfortunate & has clearly changed the game but the ref got it right.
Straight red all day long, will come under 'serious foul play'.
Studs up at head height challenging for a ball about seven feet in the air, with the opposing player trying to head it, and some of you think that was a yellow? Get real.

So if Shelvey goes to win every header today with his foot 6 foot in the air, risking blinding a player, perhaps worse, you'd be fine with it because the ball was there to be won?
