It's clear to most people that Jones made a genuine attempt to play the ball. Hazard's too nimble for him, he was very unlikely to win the ball but he tried to win the ball. Therefore, a yellow is right.
The rule is meant to punish defenders that yank a player back by his shirt or scythe down someone violently for example. Also for goalkeepers who, once a striker has gone round them, grab their ankles while nowhere near the ball. All of those are red card offences.
Twig is right and the LOTG backs him on this.

Yep. It's all about picking up trophies when you haven't had the best of seasons! If you can keep the trophies ticking over, all good for me!t and won the FA Cup and Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal have won fk all. And a massive LOL @ Liverpool btw. But so much of an LOL at some of their fans sending death threats to Karius and wishing he had cancer.

Hmmm. I'm not sure. Utd haven't played well in 6 seasons now. Sure they've won trophies which is great for banter down the pub and a club's wiki page, but I would have hated to have had to sit through 6 seasons of that dull crap.
It's all about results and trophies. No one actually watches football matches. I mean they are 2 hours long and nothing really happens, just a lot of running about and kicking a ball. Boring.Mourinho watches the football so I don't have to. That's why he's the best manager

Aside from a few shocking performances this season, we can hardly be described as consistently dull. Gassing Station | Football | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
