ball shielding happens all the time

So does people lifting your feet high up to control high long balls. Many wingers and full backs do it. It is only a foul when you do it close to another player

this just points out how bad your analogy is, shielding he ball is always close to another player...

And because in both cases their foul ended up being something which can cause major damage to the opposition player, it ended up being red card worthy.

Last season Garnacho is tackled in the box against Southampton, is injured, not only is it not a red card, it's not even called as a foul/penalty.

Yeah my analogy ain't perfect but there are 2 points. One is that shielding inherently safer than high foot so the fact it is done with people around doesn't seem very critical to me. Second and more important is that in both cases, the fouls were not intentional but ended being a pretty serious fouls which in vacuum would both be given as a red card. Why should rashford escape a red card when majorly messed up with his timing and player positional knowledge and ended up committing a pretty serious foul.

This is just incompetent refreeing which the PL is unfortunately completely full of

What knowledge? that the guy is behind him? he didn't mess up his timing, the player lounging in did. it's a simple accident, never a red, as said by anyone that has ever played football in their life.

but hey man, it's only Scholes, Hargreaves, Henry, Carragher and Micah Richards who said on TV that's never a red, I am sure you know better.

See I could be wrong. I am just expressing my opinions as a casual player and football enjoyer. I still think that rashford should have assessed that the player lunging will reach space before him. Just because it is an accident, does not mean there are no consequence.

It is fun chatting with you though. Was missing chains like these since leaving reddit.
