Red card

Stupid, pointless and reckless

Nailed on red, good job his foot wasn’t fully planted when he got took out.

I thought it was a yellow, fair play to the ref, got it spot on, it's a very dangerous tackle and he was fully committed to it too.

 

[Harry's Game]

It’s a nailed on red, I thought so at the time and the replay just convinced me even more.

Just in front of me. Saw it coming a mile away, as did Baldock thankfully.

Two footed, not in control = dangerous play and a definite red all day long. Surprised so many thought it may be a yellow.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

I said red to myself before he made contact!
You could see what he was going lauch himself into the foul.
Got what he deserved.

Gets worse every time you see it.
But no camera angle captures it like that one
If there was any doubt about it being a red card that one proves it without a shadow of doubt

 

[ForgeBlade]

No doubt. Could see it coming...he knew Baldock was away and all he intended was to take the man out. Awful tackle and thoroughly deserved red card.

He had just previously got into an argument about the towel on sideline, he clearly wanted to go and spend more time with said towel as soon as possible

 

[PokerBlade]

Pointless challenge as well as a terrible one. No idea what goes through a player's head when they do that.

Yeah. He lost his rag...

The mother of all wank socks.

Toytown supporting friend has just been on about it not being a red, it ought to be rescinded etc

 

[Liverpool blade]

I spoke to a toy town fan at the station and he said it was a horrible challenge and deserved a red card!!.
Can’t help but agree. UTB

Don't agree, Topps. Oh, from the middle of the SS it was definitely a red card but that pic the OS has put up has a photographic anomaly (I think it's called 'dolly-zoom' but I stand to be corrected - I've seen cricket pics taken down the length of the 'square' that makes a bowler appear a couple of yards from the batsman) that could show the Rotherham player's foot a yard away from Baldock (Have another look). This time, the ref. was in a position to get a good view of the distances, intent etc.

i was quite fortunate that red card happen right in front of me albiet 5 seats to the right. my gut reaction was its red every day of the week. because from what I saw, he was off the ground, looked 2 footed & the ball was long gone. you know when opposition manager is saying that it is a stong yellow

To be fair to the kid he was proper wound up after that steward cobbed his towel into the crowd (ps who was the dickhead that threw it back?)

One of our coaches had already removed two straight after the warm up. Think it was their physio put it there when the man was down while he was waiting to take a throw in the other side. I was amazed the ref let him use it as I was sure their use was banned about 6 or 7 years ago.
