[FriethBlade]

No way is that a red

 

[JPSharpy93]

Midfield 3 doing shite

That’s okay, two of them are off now

 

[Ernest]

Shouldn’t have been anywhere near the starting eleven, then goes and does that. Get that twat out of my club.

 

[Bladesman98]

Oh fuck off. Just as things were looking up.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Football is dead if a 50 50 challenge is a red when one player goes in hard and the other not . JOKE FIN JOKE

 

[essyoueffsee]

Not a red but what is he thinking lunging in like that anyway. Idiot. No midfield. Again.

 

[What the Hecky]

I'm fucking done with football, this game is absolutely fucking ruined, winning the fucking ball is a red card Offense now and that's just fucking bullshit. The game of football is fucking ruined, done for, this isn't a fair fucking game, it is a fixed pile of bollocks where diving and cheating is allowed, but football isn't.

The fact the commentary team says he went over the fucking ball, when you could clearly see he kicked the ball under with his side fucking foot, it is just fucking pathetic, what are these cunts looking at. Fucking garbage

 

[Blade59]

If that is a sending off might as well pack up and watch ballet dancing

 

[metalblade]

Fuck off that's never a red card I'm done you can't tackle now

 

[Willglynning]

Hopefully that is the the last time Lundstram ever makes an appearance for this club.

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Can argue whether or not it should be a red all day long, but the fact is tackles like that are given red cards all the time and it was fucking stupid to go in like that

 

[anty75]

May be 20 or 30 years ago it was a solid tackle but nowadays its dangerous play and a red. Whether he plays the ball or not doesn't matter.

 

[bartman]

Lundstrum needs sacking for that

Why ?

 

[FriethBlade]

However it was his terrible first touch that turned it into a tackle in the first place

 

[Blade58]

For me consistant with rest of the sending offs for those type of tackles

I’m in the minority I know but he shouldn’t have gone in like that it’s just inviting the red card

 

[Antarctic Monkey]

100% a red card, over the top and excessive.

 

[Flumps]

Can't argue with the fact the refs had a good look at it, but there's no way that's a red. 50/50 challenge and he won the ball.

What has football become?

Agree entirely. Ref pussied out from crowd pressure. He shouldn't have gone in that hard, but no ones down, no one injured, yellow him and move on. Pathetic

 

[GKhantRebel]

How the f**k is that red??
Lunny had possession, won the ball, again! Dangerous play??!?!!!

 

[haich1889]

Lundstram should be shown the door now. Complete d1ckhead.

 

[Bladesman98]

Wilder had seen the light and switched it up with a #10 and then this shit happens fuck off

 

[Varkanoid]

That is ******* disgusting no way is that a red card.

Brewster gets shoved in the back doesnt go down no foul.
Robison gets shoved off the ball no foul,
Brighton falls down when Baldock is at back of him foul.
Burke goes down Didzy has ball probably would score no advantage.

So no player can kick a ball now as he might kick the opposition if they are so close. Forget 50/50 balls now may as well not bother.,

Its not Lundstrams fault the player got kicked if anything its accidental.

Bullshit all day long just as we looked to be getting at them.

 

[HeySethUTB]

Honestly, I think I’m done. If it’s not shit play, effort or approach its inconsistent VAR and reffing decisions. Stevens tackle at Crystal Palace last year was more of a red card than that.

 

[Wincobank S9 Blade]

Unbelievable a point gaining fixture and he gives officials a decision to make absolutely brain dead another loss now no doubt

 

[toledo]

If that would have been on one of our players, this forum would have gone crazy .... that was a bad foul and he should never have put the ref into that situation ..... he took a 5 yard running start before making that tackle..
Either way, this is a terrible terrible display so far ....

 

[drblade]

May be 20 or 30 years ago it was a solid tackle but nowadays its dangerous play and a red. Whether he plays the ball or not doesn't matter.

This

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

I’d never have made it past 20 minutes every week now, cost me a fortune in fines too

 

[ryza]

Get us out of this fake as fuck division. Absolutely done with this TV show we're watching

 

[boss hog]

I might be of a certain age but footballs for young uns if that's a red ,fuckin soft as shite,everything that made football enjoyable has gone ,tippy tippy is fuckin shit.

 

[Lawrence]

Just shows you what advantage the teams down south are having with a crowd

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Why ?

What was the need? He looks at the man, he goes through with his follow through. He wanted to hurt him you can see that in a position that he didn't need to do that at all.

Now it just going to be backs to the wall until we inevitably concede
