I am seething with Madine!!!

[Liaminho9]

Madine would have likely been on the bench for Saturday anyway. But I'm guessing that'd a three-match ban now?

Would be yes, unless we have other angles that we could appeal it under.

 

[wizadry]

Horrendous? I thought it was a yellow, you disagree, fair enough. But it certainly wan't beyond doubt.

I thought it was beyond doubt and the ref couldn’t get his card out any quicker, that’s enough evidence for me.

 

[blade too long]

Gave us a really hard test of our resolve.
And we came through it

Probably did us more long term good than winning at a canter

 

[Harry's Game]

Definitely a red

 

[GrayBlade]

Daft tackle but only a yellow for me.

 

[Smirth]

It was a red card, there can be no complaints.

It was a brainless thing to do, and there was absolutely no need to do it.

Things like that make him a liability and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s lost Wilder’s trust after that. He very nearly screwed up our automatic promotion challenge tonight, and I imagine the other players were livid with him.

 

[FYT]

didn't look like a red to me, but the I don't have an agenda.

Nor to me Andy, really harsh decision. Yellow, maybe....red, never in a million years.

 

[Almosthuman]

Obvious red

 

[robbiez666]

End of the day it doesn’t matter what we all think does it.

Apart from the fact we've lost a striker who plays every game for the next 3 matches.

 

[wizadry]

Horrendous? I thought it was a yellow, you disagree, fair enough. But it certainly wan't beyond doubt.

I’ve just seen a replay, it looks even worse.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Harsh red maybe - but completely ludicrous challenge that could have cost us dear. So pleased it didn’t.

 

[Caseh]

I'm not sure if it was a red or not, but it was a needless challenge anyway.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I don't have an agenda.

You obviously do, which is to refute any criticism of Madine, justified or otherwise. It was a nobheaded challenge no matter which of our players had done it. In this case it happened to be Madine and it was stupid.

 

[Booker4]

It's one of those tackles that some refs give a red for and some a yellow. It looks a bad one to me and not surprised its a red. Feel for Madine though, he's not meant to get a red card (obviously) and he looked genuinely surprised when he received a red. He'll be missed but I doubt he would have started at Leeds and McGoldrick scoring tonight couldn't come at a better time.

 

[GrayBlade]

Nor to me Andy, really harsh decision. Yellow, maybe....red, never in a million years.

Agreed mate. It was like it was in slo-mo.

If he’d done it at pace and scythed the bloke down maybe, but it was more of a cheeky (but daft) dig than a dangerous tackle. Wouldn’t even be a booking 20 years ago.

 

[Cassius Kray]

Didn't look anything like a red to me at the time. Having seen the replay I still think it was a yellow, but agree that it was a stupid tackle.

 

[Bergen Blade]

This is the moment he launches the tackle, you could say there's a ball to be won there, but he's too slow and the defender is quicker to get his foot on the ball, meaning Madine hits him:



Poor quality, but slow motion and zoomed up here:

 

[knowsnowt]

Hes a complete cock. That could have cost us big time.
Wouldn't bother me if we sent him back. You cant change trash.

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Madine was absolutely stupid today and could have cost us - but overall he has done ok for us. We will miss him next 3 games.

 

[LJBlade]

At the time I didn’t think it was a red and having seen the replay above I still don’t think it is. He’s clearly attempted to win the ball and it’s not like it’s two footed.

And I’ll add that the tackle that Basham got booked for was worse. It reminded me of the one that Vaulks got sent off for against us on Saturday.

 

[thehet]

Apart from the fact we've lost a striker who plays every game for the next 3 matches.

And what difference does it make whether you or I think it’s a yellow?

 

[GrayBlade]

Eat OTT. ONE mistake doesn’t make him a liability FFS. It’s up to him to learn from it and for Wilder to make sure he does.

Let’s just keep it real and move on. We won and move onto Leeds and though the players will be regretting the fact that Madine’s not going to be part the squad, not dwelling on his one stupid brain fart of a tackle.

 

[thehet]

He clearly attempted and had as much chance in doing so as Vaulks did on Saturday.

 

[LJBlade]

He clearly attempted and had as much chance in doing so as Vaulks did on Saturday.

Doesn’t necessarily equate to a red card though

 

[JohnDenver]

Red card. Can’t lunge in from behind like that. It looked like an assault because there was no need to make the challenge and no way to the ball other than through the man.

Such a bizarre thing to do.

Not sure we’d be saying that had the players not dug us out of a hole and managed to get a win against the odds.

He so nearly cost us big time with a stupid, petulant lunge. I don’t see other players making them challenges.

Hopefully it’s just a one off. But that was a stupid thing to do tonight.

 

[metalblade]

Looked far worse than the tackle the Rotherham lad made on Saturday so a red all day long for me. On the touchline well in his own half no need at all to make such a ridiculous challenge. This is why I didn't want us to sign Madine once a dickhead always a dickhead, luckily we got away with it due to the heroics of the rest of the team. This is why he will not be wearing a Blades shirt after this season is done with, McGoldrick has shown he is twice the player despite not shooting when he had a great opening.

Quote “he is too slow”.

Nailed it .

[Old Programme seller]

I’ve enjoyed seeing Madine play for us but does this show that he’d be too slow for the Premier if we were to go up?

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

His studs were up, I called it red from the back of the kop.

Dick head tackle.
