Sergio Ramos' latest red card has Steve Nicol fuming | Ligue 1 | ESPN FC
Alba should get a suspension simply for being himself.
These bunch of nobodies are utterly clueless – Frank asking for Alba to be suspended for overreacting ? Muppet
Frank just shut up!
Saying “ he pretends the ball hit him in the face”
Also stfu about jordi getting suspended
he haves the record of red cards in Spain , so no sense of saying " he was more respect in Spain as a Real Madrid captain "
In this football, there’s no way “Jordi Alba should get more games of suspension than Koundè”. It’s always been that you shouldn’t react to opponents’ provocations: Sevilla’s player did, and he got fairly suspended. Because it really doesn’t matter whether you throw a ball at someone’s face or shoulder: there shouldn’t be any violent ball throwing towards another player. Period. That doesn’t mean Jordi Alba wasn’t annoying in that circumstance, but that that has always been part of the mental side of the game, whether you think it’s a good or bad thing. My opinion: both provocation and reaction should be sanctioned accordingly. But I am probably thinking within an utopian reality.
Overrated defender. Dirty player.
stevie is spot on how can you be seen as a world class cb when you've picked up so many red cards? people just look at the trophies he's won and fair enough but most players would have those trophies playing for real madrid
Stevie has been waiting on this day . But still Ramos is world class
franks only argument for koundé its bc hes french bet.
I like how Le Farmers Ligue is a race for 2nd place ???
We are all kounde.
Ramos played at the highest level for nearly 15 years. The disrespect is ridiculous.
I agree with Stevie Nicol for once. He has a valid argument for real. ?
As a defender, i would rate Thiago Silva well ahead of Ramos.
Ramos is one of the best defenders of all time. Disciplinary record notwithstanding.
Jordi Alba did the same against Robben in 2013. Not even a yellow was given.
Totally agree with Frank. These so-called old schoolers are fine with allowing a pathetic diver like Alba cheat. I don't care if lots of players dive and try to deceive the ref. They should be punished when they do it.
ramos should have been banned for the rest of his life from foot….
after the salah- foul
he is a …….. without honor and dignity……hard to accept him as a human being
but in some way, he fits very well to the psg-character
the alter-ego to their sports-director…..
Mo….why we hate Sergio, always will
Maybe materazzi should have gotten a red because he wound up poor old zizou and zizou head butted him . What Frank is saying is just idiotic.
I'm with frank sorry craig and the team??
Sergio Ramos could have his entire trophy haul and accolades to 25% of what it is, and still have more than all these guys put together. Its funny that the one guy who has a fairly impressive trophy haul in Frank, likes and appreciates his game.
That wasn't a red card.Come on Mr. Nicol.
Ramos a rotten defender he gets red cards 2 deflect how poor he is as a player
Plz some 1 ask burley 2 look at the comments about him, people fed up with his big headed arrogance, the guy has 2 much 2 say 4 himself & none of it with listening 2
Do they really need to discuss Ligue 1? Is there any competition for the top? You can just discuss PSG in Champions league, which they wont win in 2022.
Jordi alba might get suspended cause he said the linesman if he was paid
I’m with Frank. Refs need to come down harder on people pretending they where hit in the face when they weren’t. It’s bad sportsmanship, lying and cheating. I don’t care if it’s normal these days it has to stop. Red card but also punishment for Alba to set a example.
Craig has to stop looking at the ceiling when he ta ta ta talks ..hes an ace and brings a little humor but take your job seriously or switch this guy out with someone who wants the position more then he does
Ramos is finished real Madrid let him go. He wanted to stay
I hope alba is not spending his chirstmas in hospital because of that.
these Frencheese …lol.. seems they hv some sort of inferiority complex… since u'knw : )
if Kunde felt down on the floor the moment Jordie Alba body checked him won't it be a red card? Just because one played threw himself to the ground and one did is why I agreed with Frank.
People that actually think he's a world class CB need their heads testing.
A player who is glorified due to his large influence on social media nothing more his defending ability is point blank average for someone that has won as much as him.
We will be back ..and let you eat ur words
Frank was being polite not to mention harry Kane..
That’s a very cheeky twist Stevie. Your real quote was “Ramos is not world class” not whether he was a good or bad defender. And your original quote is beyond incorrect and a rather childish one at that.
Frank is bias .when they played ,all of them used tactics to influence the referee . Now you are not playing anymore all of sudden you are a saint? Lol…
In his prime Nicol is a 3rd division defender compared to Ramos in prime. He should shut his mouth.
It doesn't matter what stieve says…. Ramos is one of the best ever in his position…… He is better than VVD by miles
Sergio Ramos is n always was a glorified version of Harry McGuire… Same incredible mistakes, horrendous decision making timings in absolute key moments … The only difference is Ramos has more trophies with Real rather than Harry at United … Bare FACTS ? ..
Ramos has always been an idiot (not my words, his teammates'). He's always been a mediocre player.
