If Kevin De Bryune gets booked today, he has clean slate for KO rounds...

**shadymcgrady** · 11-21-17, 09:53 AM

He's not a dirty player but depends more on the ref and his tendencies

Ivan Kruzliak football referee from Slovakia

Ivan Kruzliak

Comparing now......I'm thinking this hits.

**JayLA** · 11-21-17, 10:07 AM

Ireland will be very wary of card happy referee Ivan Kruzliak against Georgia

http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/soccer-news/ireland-very-wary-card-happy-11084343

Robbie Brady, Jon Walters, Glenn Whelan, Cyrus Christie, Shane Duffy, Stephen Ward, Aiden McGeady and David Meyler will miss the Serbia game on Tuesday if booked.

Article of this year, him being card happy.

Match ended up having 3 yellows...not many games does he have less than 3

Only risk here I think is if he gets rested today.

**shadymcgrady** · 11-21-17, 10:26 AM

Seems like a sharp find

We shall see. Can't take credit for it, only for bringing it here.

This could be dead money, as attacking strikers aren't usually booked. And I'm not sure if this happens at all....where a player LOOKS to be booked to have a clean slate in next round.

But I'm playing it
Good luck to anyone who tails

De bruyne is an attacking player yes but he more midfield than a pure striker

yep, he's more of a second striker. i meant more an attacking player, not striker...my mistake.

he has 7 yellow cards in 76 primier league matches.

and what got us here.....2 yellows in 4 champs league matches....if he doesn't get booked today, he risks getting suspended in the knockout rounds

cant believe im laying this much juice...

200 to win 100

**MiDNiTe** · 11-21-17, 11:25 AM

If he was playing under mourinho definitely would be booked 100%, still I think he will the club would of discuss it

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 11-21-17, 11:39 AM

I think it's a sharp play, even with the juice
this could be Man City's year in the CL, they've undoubtedly discussed this with the player & the obvious move is to have him get a booking today

**franz555** · 11-21-17, 02:24 PM

Yup. Not sure its relevant playing at home against Feyenoord. I dont see them having enough possession for any Man City player to obtain a yellow.

Don't the winners of this stage move on to the knock out round of 16??

**franz555** · 11-21-17, 02:45 PM

Yes , after completing all 6 games. Today should be an easy game that locks up 1st place and an automatic berth against a lesser foe in the knockout stage. I missed the part about having a clean slate for the knockout stage. Again , cant see any reason why he would need to foul while dominating possession

Yeah that's what I'm thinking

Doesn't need to foul, he can do that or show dissent

**JayLA** · 11-21-17, 04:04 PM

ship IT!!

**bruceBRUCEbruce** · 11-21-17, 04:07 PM

that line shoulda been more like -500, well done!

Yea I think it was just a perfect storm. How important KDB is to City, their position etc.

Will start incorporating it into my capping though

**JayLA** · 11-21-17, 05:38 PM

Thanks everyone

**MiDNiTe** · 11-21-17, 05:42 PM

Good hit wanted to bet it but my book didn't have it like when Beckham did it he's mistake was telling the media

**JayLA** · 11-21-17, 10:22 PM

tomorrow in barcelona's match we have a similar situation with Carlos Nelson Semedo....

but, 1. he's not such an important part of barcas attack(or at all) as KDB is to City, Semedo's a back.

and 2. the referee isn't as card happy.

he's @ -150 to get booked on b365

im going to stay away but it will be interesting to see moving foward...definitely will keep tabs on this specific trend

**SBR Natalie** · 11-22-17, 09:36 AM

Nice one JayLA!

I predicted more goals in this match - almost ended 0-0 if it wasn't for the late goal!
