I still can't work out what they gave his second yellow card for?
Kicked the ball away to stop a quick free kick. One of the things refs are meant to be clamping down on I thought.
Kicking the ball away is questionable, he nudged it about 30cm, but i agree it was silly of him to even give the ref a decision to make. If he'd just kept on slowly walking away it would be fine and the guy still wouldn't have been able to take the free kick quickly.
I was watching it on silent so didn't realise they had given a free kick, if that's a second yellow, as well as dissent is meant to be now, then every game should finish 8 Vs 8

So be it, cheating is cheating, it’s about time this nonsense was clamped down on, players will soon stop.
I like Rice but that was extremely stupid to kick away as bloke trying to take free kick. As someone else said, could have just carried on walking away slowly for same effect
Towards the end of the Arsenal Brighton game the commentators told us that there were 6 minutes to be added on. After they said this, there was a lengthy stoppage for Gabriel being winded and another to book the Arse goalkeeper for timewasting. Yet the final whistle was blown almost exactly on 96 minutes. It tells players that timewasting works if you’re willing to take a yellow for it.

Andy Hinchcliffe (co comms on sky) must have caught Nick Pope with his wife or something.
Slagging him off at every possible opportunity.
I've been Pope's biggest fan over time but. to be fair, he was right about the two that he pushed away. Equally, he has praised him for the subsequent saves that kept Newcastle in the game saying how important they were to his side
The commentary for this Utd v Bin Dippers is already making my ears bleed 😩
Thats Carragher for you. Never understand why Sky allow him to commentate on Liverpool games,hardly an unbiased opinion is it.
It’s more Drury tbh. Talks in riddles and screams the players names every time they shoot. I reckon Neville & Carragher must have tinnitus sat next to him!

Once again, the argument will come down to consistency. I've seen that plenty of times and very rarely has it been given a yellow.
The usual consistency in the Premier League. Referees have to make everything all about them.
No-one logged into Arsenal Life you can agree with?
Arteta’s reaction to Rice going off says it all. He knows it was the right decision.
He currently has more goals than any of the other 19 PL teams.
Good job we bought another pacey LCB.... oh wait....
