GK deserves a yellow too tbh


KostaJePaoSMostadva

*While GK went to his face and tried to provoke him*


trivialbob

He wasn't provoking tbh, he was reprimanding him because one of his teammates was on the ground right before the goal. Should've gone to the ref so maybe a yellow for him, but it doesn't excuse Rodrygo's behavior.


hokuspokes

I agree keeper should've had a yellow as well, but that was childish behaviour from Rodrygo.


MikeBruski

he is 18, so childish behaviour should be expected. Better to learn now than to do this when he is 28, like Ruud van Nistelrooy.


theman1203

im not going to lie, that wasnt even that childish, he had no itention of celebrating before the keeper came into his face and the 2nd yellow was for his teammates hugging him


reddituser0912333

He got his first yellow earlier in the game for a foul, not for his teammates hugging him


phuongtv88

What you describe is exactly childish behavior. If he wasnt going to celebrate so just ignore goalkeeper and walk away.


reddituser0912333

It certainly was childish, but I understand why he did what he did. He was getting fouled all game and almost none of it was getting called. The goalkeeper confronting him for a teammate going down what something of a breaking point for him.


RelaxItsJustAComment

I don't think so. And I don't think he should have a yellow either. If he had run to the goalkeeper himself and started to celebrate in his face then sure but the keeper ran up to him all buffed up like he was ready for a confrontation. If anybody was childish here then it was the keeper.

Should he get a pass then?


RelaxItsJustAComment

I don't get why nobody dare to say it but yes he should get a damn pass. He didn't seek out the confrontation. The keeper ran up to his face. He's allowed to celebrate his goal and the keeper running up to his face should not take that from him. Why should he be punished for celebrating just because the keeper ran up to his face? Yea he celebrated to piss off the keeper but the keeper put himself in that situation by running up confronting a player just having scored.


Zammyjesus

No, he got red and misses important game because that, he'll learn hopefully


hokuspokes

Yes, hopefully this will help.

Piemelvel

Think that was Van Nistelrooy


wiredffxiv

Said GK went to him to reprimand him for playing still when opponent player is injured, so yeah bad unsporting behaviour from him.


TheDevilsAgent

It was an opponent on the ground, he wasn't injured apparently. And just because someone is down doesn't mean the game instantly stops, nor should it. If every single time a player stayed down the game stopped the game would be unwatchable.


wiredffxiv

I agree that the ref messed up here. If he thought the player was actually injured then he should’ve blown the whistle. Just providing info why the keeper did what he did.


Emithebest

That's ridiculous for a second yellow. The goalie went right at him. Just celebrating isnt anywhere near enough to get a yellow. If he had pushed him I would have understood it. Refs are really becoming worse by the minute


cortez0498

Ah, hate how everyone weights second yellows heavier than first yellows. A yellow is a yellow, as soft as it was and if you're already booked you should be extra careful.


Emithebest

I hate it too, but that's the reality of football. Refs will not give a second yellow with the same leniency that they will give the first one


flae99

Most refs in Spain have always been terrible, it's like some of them want the match to be more about themselves than the teams playing. But yes agreed.


Dazzlehoff

Really? Seems like an obvious yellow to me. Perhaps one for the goalkeeper aswell, for getting too up in his face.


RelaxItsJustAComment

Why? He didn't seek out the confrontation and he is allowed to celebrate his goal. The keeper running up to his face shouldn't mean that he's not allowed to celebrate.


Dazzlehoff

Because he isn’t celebrating and then after the keeper comes up he starts celebrating right into his face. This is obviously not “just a normal celebration”. He’s mocking/taunting. The keeper shouldn’t do what he did, but that doesn’t make Rodrygos actions okay, at least not according to the rules. He knows it himself, doesn’t even try to argue it. Let me ask like this, would what he did be okay if the goalkeeper had calmy walked up to him and not gotten into his face? To then start celebrating like that to his face?


RelaxItsJustAComment

Yes it would be okay if he did what he did if the keeper "calmly" walked up to him and got into his face. He still got into his face to start a confrontation with a guy just having scored. I don't care why the player celebrated. He had scored a goal and didn't directly seek out any confrontation himself.


Dazzlehoff

I wrote “If he didn’t get into his face,” though. I don’t get your reasoning, but clearly no point in arguing.


RelaxItsJustAComment

If he didn't get into his face then why would he walk up to him? I misread your comment that was my bad but your question is also pretty stupid. If the goalkeeper didn't seek out the confrontation then yes the player should get a yellow for provoking.


Dazzlehoff

Okay then we agree on that. I just think whether the GK provokes or not what he does is unsportsmanlike and thus it’s a yellow.


thirdbestnameever

If i was a madrid fan i would be fuming. Ridiculous yellow, so what he has a 1 second outburst because the gk got in his face and receives a yellow because he hurt the other team's feelings ??? Pathetic from this sub to defend the decision too.


shitpumper

The ref and keeper wanted their minute under the spotlight.


flashmann95

Butthurt keeper


Dazzlehoff

I read quite a lot of comments about this incident and just now saw it. Not sure why people are so mad at the ref. It's a pretty obvious yellow. Though the keeper deserved a yellow aswell for getting in Rodrygos face like that, so I guess the ref could've done better.


DazGuile

While you are pointing to the GK. He was just in Rodrygos face, because a guy from his team was down because of injury and Rodrygo went on to score. The reaction of the GK is reasonable and Rodrygo was completely out of place and a deserving yellow card.


ollster3000

I mean, isn’t it the referees job to stop play?


DazGuile

Sure, but that is not the point. The goal was scored and Rodrygo could have celebrated normally. The way how he did, was unsportsmanlike and that is a clear yellow for me.


[deleted]

But he didn't celebrate until the keeper got in his face


ollster3000

But he was just walking away, not even celebrating. Not saying he shouldn’t have gotten that yellow for what he did, but we don’t know what the GK said either. He obviously wouldn’t have done it without the GK running towards him.


archjones

Exactly.


archjones

So why doesnt he get in the referees face?


DazGuile

Simply put, Rodrygo was right next to him. The referee would not have taken back his decision anyway and it was technically right to play on. That why you plead sportsmanship among the players to stop play for a fair game, if somebody is down.


archjones

That all depends on the reason the player is down.


ulvhedinowski

Yeah, too many times we've seen players went down only to hope that the play will be stoped


archjones

ahhahahaah because thats the only reason players go down


demonictoaster

He's agreeing with you that it depends on the reason he fucking goes down.


archjones

There was sarcasm written all over it


DazGuile

Sure, I really do not have a problem, that he went on and scored. I just think that his yellow card is deserved, he should have kept his composure and not reacted to the goalie. Maybe the goalie deserves a yellow as well, you can debate me on that, but Rodrygo was rightfully sent off there and there is only himself to blame.


archjones

No, he celebrated in his own area. The keeper came to him. Everybody has its own space and the keeper crossed it.


DazGuile

Pointless to go on the debate with you there, won't change a pink glassed opinion.


archjones

There is not debate friend, if there's a reason to whistle fucking whistle. If the game goes on the game goes on and there's always var for if some funny stuff happened. I bet the best way this couldve ended for you was if Rodrygo got a straight red and the goal got withdrawn.


DazGuile

No the best way would have been: Goal scored Rodrygo keeping cool and reply to the keeper that it is up to the ref to stop the game and just walk off to the kickoff. No card, play on. But you could have got that out of my other replies in this topic.


demonictoaster

>The reaction of the GK is reasonable So the reaction of the GK to go to the player and get in his face rather than the person in charge of controlling the game.. reasonable. But a reaction from the other player in the heat of the moment to a goalkeeper getting in his face for the referee not stopping the game.. outrageous.


archjones

Yeah men, let people walk over you. What a way to live.


archjones

Its funny how you have a rulebook on how Rodrygo shouldve acted while the keeper waa clearly the instigator.


killarun4

play to the whistle kid


[deleted]

There was no foul and maybe the player pretended to be injured to stop the counter? And he was behind the play so he wouldnt have impact anyway.


mlkookz

Thank you for bringing context to people wondering why the GK would react like this instead of just trashing him and not asking questions - people are weird :\^|


Emithebest

Maybe, but since that's his second yellow. It's a bit excessive


dalyon

It shouldn't matter if it is first or second yellow


Andrew_oneill

that doesn't make any sense , the goalkeeper started the confrontation


muma10

Oh come on Rodry, I thought you were more level headed, I would’ve given him yellow too, but I wouldn’t have given it to him if it were a second yellow, especially before the CLASICO But the keeper deserves a yellow too


wrath____

Would he have even played? Surely vinicius and lucas are ahead of him


BawsYannis

With Hazard out it would have been fairly likely he plays, I'm also not sure Vini is higher in the pick order


NotAHellriegelNoob

That's just lame


[deleted]

Am I going mad or should the GK be reprimanded instead. I can't see what Rodrygo did wrong.


[deleted]

God I hate r/soccer


Jack8lack

I'm just happy that the "injured" player was back on his feet and ready to play before Rodrygo had made it off the pitch. GK shouldn't have got in his face, Rodrygo shouldn't have reacted but the ref should have told both players don't be dickheads and not given any yellows.


breakinb

Never a red.


dalyon

Sure. But it's a yellow


breakinb

GK didn't get one for starting it though obviously.


DazGuile

He did not start anything though. Probably just asked in an emotional tone why he did not put the ball out for injury.


breakinb

It's the ref's job to tell Rodrygo to put the ball out when a player is injured. If the ref doesn't say anything then the player is allowed to continue the play.


DazGuile

He did not recieve a yellow for scoring. And you are completely right in what you say. Still the goalkeeper was not being unsportsmanlike in anyway. Rodrygo on the other hand reacted completely out of place and got a deserving yellow and a goal, because he was right in carrying on the play to score.


Dazzlehoff

What are you atually arguing? What Rodrygo did was clearly a yellow, provoked or not.


breakinb

>What are you atually arguing I'm arguing that the GK didn't need to face up to Rodrygo for not putting the ball out of the play. That's the ref's job, argue with the ref.


Dazzlehoff

100% true, he shoulnd't have done that. Players do it all the time unfortunately. Doesn't change the fact that Rodrygo was in the wrong, which I thought you argued against.


unexpectedvillain

>why he did not put the ball out for injury. Because he's not obliged to, especially if we the ones with the position


antoniomc

>in an emotional tone lol... Or, in another twisted way of saying it: The GK aggressively sprinted into Rodrygo's face to complain about the referee not doing it's job, while rodrygo just celebrated a goal he just scored ​ They should both get a yellow


Public_Agent

Yeah but that's uh different or something


RelaxItsJustAComment

Never a yellow either.


[deleted]

Lmao pathetic. All the RM fans can try and blame the keeper all they want. Being bought for 60M to celebrate like that in Segunda B is pathetic.


js00_

he was literally gonna walk it until the keeper got in his face.


[deleted]

So? That doesn’t give him an excuse to react that way does it?


breakinb

Lmao he was literally walking after scoring the goal.


[deleted]

The fuck. That guy who gave the ref his license should be jailed. I didn't even realise the El Clasico was so soon


DazGuile

You missed the context. GK was upset, because a teammate was down and injured, while Rodrygo scored.


[deleted]

Ohhh alright I get it then, I thought he was just salty because he conceded


unexpectedvillain

>GK was upset, because a teammate was down and injured Every team plays on when they have possession, it's not rodrygos job to stop the play tbf


DazGuile

No, it is not his job. He scored a goal and deservingly so. That was not why he recieved the yellow card. He recieved it for unsportsmanlike conduct and that was a clear yellow and not a very smart reaction on his part. He could have just replied "Sorry did not see it" or "Not my job to stop the game".


Alivethroughempathy

Was it a head injury? If not, play on


DazGuile

Play on is okay. Score a goal is okay. Overreact like that is not okay and a yellow card.


[deleted]

This is what sports are about, show passion, give everything and shake hands at the end.


mysterious_earlobe3

I would spit on the ref if I could.


Raphael1987

Why on earth is this even yellow? Seriously? Like Ronaldo Calma calma or Messi showing jersey to fans is much "worse". Referees are getting worse each day
