Deluded Bristol City

[Sheffsteel]

No only the ones that don’t know the rules.

The rules are irrelevant and why VAR was never going to work whilst fans and the media have this sensationalist over reaction blinkered attitude.

What you often find is that when an important decision goes against a team…not only the emotional fans
But the managers after seeing loads of replays still says it’s wrong….even when a replay shows the decision was correct.

The main (and only reason) for it being a yellow is that a penalty + red card spoilt the contest (and I agree, when BC went down to 10 men we took over).
However of course that should be irrelevant.

Reminds me of the Harry Kane last minute winner for Spurs at home to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions league a few year back.
Spurs needed to win to qualify from the group, they scored deep into injury time and there were great scenes as the stadium erupted.
The goal was chalked off by VAR and the replays showed that Kane was about 6 inch off side, tight call but factually just offside….correct decision.

Amazingly after seeing the replays the Spurs manager said VAR is killing the game, denying football and the fans who love the game a great moment and Conte said it wouldn’t have been disallowed if it was Real Madrid scoring in the last minute. There were several people in the media also saying the decision was a disgrace because it spoilt a great moment for Spurs.

That’s my point…..there are instances when fans aren’t interested in the correct decision….they just want the goal to stand.

Looks like the suspension will only apply after an appeal has been heard.

So if the appeal doesn't take place before tomorrows match, he can play? What happens if the red card decision is subsequently confirmed as being correct? Does the suspension carry on into next season (provided Bristol don't overturn the result from last week). Hardly seems fair that he could play only for the red card to be confirmed the right outcome does it?

 

[UddersBlade]

I hope Dickie plays on Monday ….he’s a liability for them & is slow & cumbersome. Don’t know what the fuss is about ….. he’s hardly world class/game changing player!

Yes I think that is correct. If the hearing isn’t tomorrow he can play and if it’s not overturned and Bristol don’t get to Wembley he will miss the first game of the season.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Realistically. He’s another designer manager who is tactically naive, completely stubborn on an approach that only works for the 1%. Picked a part with ease, even before the sending off. Yeah, they look a bit pretty in possession, but at what cost? Basics weren’t adhered to whatsoever.

Don’t blame him for trying to deflect his idiocracy with that decision.

That would be fucking ridiculous

"We will be appealing the Rob Dickie red card, and we'll need a pretty quick answer to that if he's going to play on Monday," Robins chief operating officer Tom Rawcliffe said

That’s sounds like he won’t be playing if they don’t get a decision tomorrow

Hopefully gets an extra ban for appealing it.

He can’t play until after the appeal has been heard and then only if the red is overturned

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Appeal unsuccessful.

 

[Weasel]

Appeal unsuccessful.

I should bloody well think so. Couldn't give a stuff whether he plays or not from a footballing ability aspect, but that's not the point ee whether we rate him him or not. It was clear as say a red card and a penalty by the rules of the game. End of. They should have another game tacked onto his suspension so that it makes clubs think about it before sticking a hopeful punt of an appeal into the FA with nothing to lose. Make it potentially a stiffer penalty for them and then they might start taking appeals seriously enough to make a decision without emotion.

 

[espoo blade]

I was saying the play-off final may count towards the extra game ban for appealing. He won't be playing tomorrow unless it is overturned. I probably didn't explain myself very well as usual

At least I understood what you meant!

Exactly, it’s the principle! If that had been overturned we may as well have put in a [very] retrospective appeal over George Santos’ red against West Brom!

 

[Melbourne Blade]

I listened to that those two tit's are just engagement farmers and have probably had too many jameson and ginger ales
They got absolutely hammered on social media by fans of all clubs and were just trying to use their platform to do a pr salvage job

They had a fight on air. It was really awkward unless it's their thing.

I also pulled Matt SB up from his comment it was "tangled arms". I don't know if these idiots do it to create controversy. I also wonder why I still watch their shit!

Bristol fans take

Most are sound and agree it's nailed on and both decisions are correct but there's a small minority absolutely determined that it's wrong and twisting anything they can to argue that. I suppose that's to be expected.

What surprised me was the second tier podcast actually arguing it shouldn't even have been a penalty. Moore falling forward rather than falling backward means he wasn't hauled back apparently and his legs weren't touched that much, ergo, it's not even a pen.

Listened to one of their YouTube podcasts earlier and they constantly referred to us as .....Sheffield

Their take on it riled me a lot. For a start, he doesn’t fall forward, he is pulled and spun sideways before he falls. Can’t stand those two smug pricks.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I think because they’ve appealed he can play tomorrow night, it was mentioned on Bladespod by Roygbiv.

That’s so wrong. They’re just manipulating the rules, knowing it’s a red but if they appeal he gets to play anyway.

 

[JJBlade]

Football isn't it? We look at it and we see a certain red. Dickie had pulled Moore back/down way before he made the "attempt to play the ball" so it's a certain red. However, if roles were reversed, an enormous amount of our fans would be apoplectic with rage that it wasn't a yellow.

Our fans wouldn't have cared, the most wokey, laid back, accepting of any old shit fans wouldn't be able to muster the effort to be apoplectic about anything

Yeah i was gobsmacked
They regularly say stupid things, get slaughtered for it and then claim some kind of victory later on

Their take on wilder being the 21st best manager in the championship being a particular favourite alongside tom cleverly as an honourable mention for manager of the season on the day he got sacked

They've said some strange things this season, namely their team of the season.

From what I remember, they had something like a combined 9 players from Burnley and Leeds, the exceptions being Murphy and Sargent.

They might have had Bellingham in it but I can't remember.

Second tier is usually ok but he’s talking bollocks on this one. It was a clear pen

If VAR had been in use Campbell's disallowed goal might have stood as it might have shown Peck onside or Peck being fouled. VAR would of course have shown the referee was correct with the penalty and red card which couldn't have been more obvious.

Yeah they had a bit of a verbal tangle about it. Ryan Dilks comes across a bit “my show my rules” if I’m honest

VAR might have given the goal, as it would have seen O'Leary get a slight touch to the ball after Campbell heads it.

In fairness, the ref and lino would have never seen that, but if VAR did see it, Peck would then be onside and thus him stopping Knight from trying to clear the ball would be perfectly okay as he'd be doing it from an onside position.

He made a poor choice. Simple as. The consequences are his to bear. I bet if he had the choice again he would still make it because mince cannot learn.
