rossthejambo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Definite penalty. Didn't even think it was worthy of a booking never mind a red card. Game well and truly ruined now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it probably was, thought it was soft on first viewing but maybe not. Incredible red card, didn't even cross my mind for a second that he would go for it. Really poor decision.

Tommy Wiseau Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 That's a filthy challenge. Boy was going nowhere as well and was about to run it out of play. Ridiculous.

P-Dizzle Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Both red cards were spot on, IMO. By the letter of the law, the first one is a straight red. I don't agree with that myself, but that's the law and the ref was right. Second was a potentially horrific tackle, and had to go. Down to 9 men, but they were both sendings off. Fair play to the ref for having the balls to make the call. Also, how about Clarke Carlisle? He's been a good summariser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker takes a touch to his right, to the penalty spot. Last man takes his legs away, ball was still in playing distance. No doubt about it being a penalty. But a red card is quite harsh, but the law states that it's a sending off and the ref doesn't have much choice. Good decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that thread discussing how some of football's laws are just too draconian? This sounds like an example of that. Nothing else the ref can do though - and the more we call for refs to use "common sense", the more inconsistency there's bound to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergio Garcia Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I agree with LP defo pen and second one was a sending off. The first sending off is a grey area really, i wouldnt have sent the boy off but by the letter of the law DJ Campbell hadnt put it that far ahead of him so the ref is correct. West Brom need to screw the nut otherwise could be a few more off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he stopped him playing the ball, and gave the ref no choice. Remember that thread discussing how some of football's laws are just too draconian? This sounds like an example of that. Nothing else the ref can do though - and the more we call for refs to use "common sense", the more inconsistency there's bound to be. I think the penalty was punishment enough in this case. It wasn't a cynical challenge from behind on the last man, it was a foul in the box and nothing more. IMO, last man should be a red in some cases, I thought it was harsh in this case. But where do you draw the line, and if you bring "common sense" into it, it blurs the law. Rightly or wrongly, the law is clear in this case.

The law covers the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity - but that doesn't have to be by the last defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would have blinked an eye if he hadn't sent the guy off and I don't see who he would be culpable to for not sending the guy off.

Well, if he doesn't make that challenge, Campbell has a clear shot at Carson's goal. Like I say, I agree that it shouldn't be a red card. But that's what the law says.

Reality would dissolve. On an unrelated note. You've just come up to the Prem, you're going to get a nice stream of cash, and you plan to finish your ground.
