There’s no attempt to play the ball from what I can see, he fouls and then wins the ball. That removes double jeopardy and allows the red card
The challenge is an attempt to get round him to play the ball no? Very clumsy and wouldnt argue with the pen but I’d feel hard done by if that was us.
But he gets around him illegally using his hands and committing the foul. Playing the ball is very literal for the law, it means using your foot/head etc to touch the ball which he can’t do using his hands on the attackers shoulders
Have we all forgot the sheff weds v posh fixtures a few years ago? Play off football is mad and anything can happen
Think that's a bit different though. Peterborough have always been a bit of a vulnerable side defensively, I can't see Sheffield United under wilder throwing 3 away at Bramall Lane, got a lot of quality and they're a bit too street wise for that.
Reckon that tie is as good as done.
I hope Sunderland beat Coventry, nothing against Coventry, I'd just like to see Sunderland do well.

And Sheff United are much better than Brizzle, whereas Posh were much worse than Sheff Wednesday (going on the league tables where they were 19 points behind)

I think you're probably right, just never say never in the play offs
It's weird ain't it. I said no way a red, himself said defo. Either way the only way Brizzle were going to win is if that Manning wonder strike went in instead of hitting the bar, different game then.
But oh my, I spent all that game with absolutely no skin in the game with mahoosive butterflies.
If Sheffield United go up it's going to be so boring. They'll get about 15 points and be straight back down.
I'm hoping Coventry go up. I don't expect them to do any better, but at least it's a relatively new team in the PL as they haven't been there since 2001 so unless you're at least 30 years old you won't remember them being in the top flight. Plus there will be a few local derbies with Villa, Forest and Wolves.

Dear God.
What am I going to be like come Sunday 🫣🤯😳🤣🤣
That is the way the penalty law has evolved. Nobody seems completely sure. For what its worth, I think the initial play was to stop the man before trying to get the ball so it can't be argued the Bristol City player was trying to get the ball and so a sending off was the correct decision IMO.
God knows how the holding from the city player causes both the united players feet to simultaneously drop away.
One of those where modern commentators would say, "he felt a touch and was entitled to go down".
Sadly, as judged by the comments on here, cheating and deception is now an accepted part of the game.
While that’s all very true it’s kind of irrelevant to the actions of the defender which are clearly an attempt to play the man and not the ball, a foul and a red card dismissal.
Comments
Bristol now smash the bar from the edge of the box.
Good game so far. Sheff Utd seem a little more direct and have drawn saves from the BC keeper.
2000 Blades fans in the away end they say.
i haven’t seen it - just going by comments on here
id be surprised if Brizzle will be so competitive next year. It’s almost like this was their big chance

Looks a blatant red from this?
