There's another angle with that porteous tackle where it shows how dreadful a tackle it was. He goes flying in at a ridiculous speed and Aribo is very lucky he moved his leg.

 

Porteous does have a history with these kinds of tackles particularly with Rangers players. He likes to fly in and leave a bit on the player. A couple of years ago his personal moment of the season was a bad tackle on Morelos or Coulibaly can't remember which one it was.

Disagree, he went to win the ball and done it fairly. A player has to fly into a tackle or he won't win it. The whole game of football is played at a very fast pace these days and these kind of tackles are bound to happen. If thats a red then they are as well getting rid of slide tackling completely as it's now just a case of going by the refs opinion on whats too dangerous. Its annoying seeing refs decide whats fair and whats reckless based on their opinion.

Only a stats site but who scored gave Patterson man of the match against Hibs with a rating of 7.6.

Same site gave Hickey man of the match against Lazio with a rating of 9.0. Apparently he was playing as a left wing back.

Not bad for a couple of 19 year olds.

Since I started following the site McTominay is the only other Scottish player to record a rating of over 9 in a top European league.

I have no problem with a firm but fair tackle.  He won the ball cleanly.  If thats a red card we would have been down to 5 a side when i played.

Porteous sent off for what looks like a perfectly fair tackle.


Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

So basically no slide tackling then or it's basically the refs opinion. That rule is probably broken by the majority of slide tackles as it's just about opinion what excessive force is or what endangers a players safety.

Thing with hickey is he’s scoring goals now. Not many of our full backs do that. Also his right foot is as good as his left so when he cuts in he can hit a decent shot. Don’t think we have any other full back who can do that either.

Initially when I watched the tackle I didnt even think it was a foul. Still not 100% certain but some replays look like he hasnt actually got the ball with his foot. Looks like he misses the ball with his foot and he actually gets it around his hamstring area. His legs pretty straight so if that is the case then it is a red card.  The replays ive seen arent very clear cut though.

any chance someone could convert him to a sitting/defensive midfield player?

Rubbish. His rashness shows he's not ready for international level. His foot was over the ball; international refs. will punish you for that.

Pish, he won the ball and didn't even make contact with Aribo. It's a yellow at the very worst

Not many of our strikers do that either. 😂

Crazy to think he's playing week in, week out in one of the most demanding leagues in Europe but can't even get in the senior squad (although I can understand why the manager doesn't want to mix things up too much at this stage).

I think if he keeps this up clarke will have to pick him for the main squad. Theres no way we can refuse to pick a 19 year old playing in serie a every week.

It was definitely a red card. Not even debatable. 


as you can see by the varied opinions above it clearly is debatable.  he cleanly won the ball.  If rules have now changed and you can’t do that if you get the ball first then the man then fine.  When I played if you played the ball first you were fine.

Some interesting views on what constitutes a tackle. Porteous deserved his straight red. A ridiculous lunge from a player who can’t be trusted in big games. 

So you would get rid of slide tackling? 

I would say at least a quarter of slide tackles could be deemed reckless and dangerous. A slide tackle by its very nature is nearly always going to have a dangerous aspect to it. It's a player lunging in to win the ball after running at pace most of the time making it uncontrollably hard for a player to make it completely safe. 

It seems that it's mostly the rangers fans on here that are claiming its a red. If it was a rangers player that had made that tackle and gotten a red they would be arguing the opposite.

You shouldn’t be debating it though especially if you have seen it from all angles and understand the current rules of football. 

He didn’t cleanly win the ball at all. He did also make contact with Aribo and if he had connected properly he likely breaks his leg and potentially ends his career.

Problem is there are dodgy slide tackles that could be considered dangerous in most games, letting the refs decide when it suits them is not a fair way. Seen many a dangerous tackle go unpunished in Scotland, it has to be consistent across the board or just ban slide tackling altogether.
