First red card...

[Slim Man]

The ref took a dislike to Tanganga because he questioned his decision, mardy little bastard couldn't hack that and the speed with which he got the card out said it all.

Danny Hall is to commentary what he is to reporting and book writing, enough said.

Danny Hall is the biggest weapon we have reporting on our club in years. Is he still on here?

Guaranteed if Soumaré had pulled out of the challenge 90% of this forum would be up in arms calling him a nesh little cnut. It was 50/50 but the Charlton player was starting to slide in and got his ankle stood on, just unfortunate. What baffles me on this forum is the amount of posters who can't wait to pile in on one of our players, some of you lot pile on faster than the ref getting the red card out. You can bet too if Jack Robinson had done it then it would have been a great old school tackle .......... weird.

1st minute of the game he’s pulled Tanganga up on an attacking corner. Then he’s not sent their player off or awarded a penalty for a blatant foul on Bamford.

He’s also given them a goal kick when the defender clearly slide tackled Seriki in front of the linesman.

The Soumare one was on a par with the challenge on McCallum. Tanganga was sent off because the ref was given the opportunity after he’d accused the ref of pushing him (Tanganga was clearly telling Langford not to put his hands on him after the Soumare red).

Overall it was a complete clusterfuck of a refereeing performance and it completely killed the game. I’d be going nuts if I were Wilder.

That said if we were 3 or 4 nil up like we should have been none of that would have happened.

Exactly as i saw it texted a mate on 15m=
ref is giving nothing today expect more dodgy pen decisions
have you watched CW's post match iterview again spot on

I've only seen the clips on Twitter, but it certainly looks like he leads with his forearm into the back of Carey's head. VAR upholds the decision (or overturns if it had been let go).

Agree with you on Soumaré, clumsy but not malicious. The unfortunate thing is both will be serious foul play so 3 match bans.

I think that might be his last game he plays for us. Pity, cause today apart, he's started playing better.

Yeah, Wilder was spot on with his comments.

No he didn't get to the ball first, he was late.

I think the debate is around whether it was dangerous, and whether the tackle on McCallum was equally dangerous. He wasn’t late though - he plays the ball before his opponent gets a touch on it.

Only when he wants to flog a book

 

[OnmiEdson]

I think there was zero intent as well.

It's still a red card.

Referees have to judge incidents on what actually happened, not what the player's

Serious foul play​

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.


Come on, for those who think it wasn't a red (or even not a foul lol), please justify how Soumare putting his foot on the guys ankle didn't endanger the safety of his opponent.

 

[100% part time blade]

Agreed. This fits with a challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent.
But there are occasional (not necessarily saying this is one) when you can make a challenge and seriously endanger someone, but it wouldn’t be red carded, for example if both players jumped for a high ball, both looking at the ball, and as they came down one ended up landing on the other’s ankle as shown in the image you posted, should that be treated the same?

I’ve regularly wondered about every time a keeper goes to punch a ball as hard as he can inches from an opponent’s head - is that not endangering?

Ok, watch the one on McCallum and tell me it's not basically the exact same thing. Not even a yellow.

I've only seen it a couple of times. I don't find such injuries pleasant to watch over and over.

It seemed to me to be a freak of timing combined with a stud getting stuck in the turf.

The type of challenge is executed regularly, not quite in full control of the ball, slightly on the stretch with little control over where your leading foot will get planted - but it's coming down with momentum and a lot of weight behind it.

It's usually completed without incident, often without contact or minimal contact. At worst, studs scraped down the calf or catching the heels of an opposing player. You'd say it was clumsy but never describe it as dangerous play in these situations.

If the timing was a fraction of a second different, Soumare's challenge would have had a totally different outcome and probably wouldn't have been given a second thought.

If it had passed without incident nobody would have been describing it like 'he flew into that challenge' or 'a bit reckless but got away with it'

The outcome has determined the red card. Some will disagree, but injuries happen and in my opinion it doesn't have to automatically mean that a foul was committed or that the play was reckless.
