First red card...

[Harry's Game]

Sourmare is 100% a red especially in the modern game. The second one is a ridiculous decision.

Soumare’s was definitely a red, as was the shithouse on McCallum. The problem was that one happened early in the game so he got a mild telling off, the other didn’t and the twat nearly threw the red card at him in his haste to brandish it.

Neither of the instances were red cards.
Soumare let himself down with a poor touch and was quick to react to it and played a pass across to McCallum. Their player tried to intercept the ball and it was simply a freak accident, created by both of their momentum, moving across each other.
Soumare had to land his foot somewhere and unfortunately for their player, his movement placed him in the way of Soumare's foot as it landed. Soumare didnt lunge, wasnt out of control and wasnt reckless.
The referee reacted to the injured player's understandable reaction to what appeared to be a bad injury.
Not even a foul in my opinion.

Tanganga's was a foul. There is no debate on that one. He has mistimed his jump to get to the ball. However did anyone notice the push/nudge by their attacker, just at the point of Tanganga jumping? This, in my opinion has caused him to be slightly off balance, but doesnt explain him moving his arms across, again in my opinion, to try and make contact with the ball.
A foul? Yes.
Yellow card? Yes
red card? Not in a million years!!!!
As some have pointed out, there may have been an element of the referee flexing his authority for Tanganga having the audacity to challenge the first red card decision.

These 2 terrible decisions ruined the game as a contest, although Charlton struggled to get more than the 1 goal they did score and didnt really have the pressure you would expect a team to have with a 2 player (and a refeere) advantage.

11 v 11 and we comfortably win that game by 2/3 goals. We had a few opportunities with 9 men!

Lets hope Wilder and the players use this as a catalyst to go and get some positive results in the next few games.

Can't decide if the Dalot tackle for Man Utd was same or worse than Soumare's. Dalots studs hit below knee and VAR didn't upgrade to a red after review.

Referee is and always has been a complete minge and I'm still seething at the other ridiculous decisions.

Great post, the best and most accurate description of the bizarre events that took place yesterday.
