Bristol City confirm they will appeal against Rob Dickie's sending-off in their 3-0 Championship play-off semi-final first leg defeat by Sheffield United.

I mean they may as well at this point, they’ve nothing to lose.

I mean it would be absolutely ridiculous if it was overturned but no harm in them trying - not sure if ‘frivolous appeals’ are still a thing but adding an extra game ban for that won’t matter to them as it’s end of season.

This is why VAR will never be accepted

It doesn’t matter whether a decision it correct or not. People aren’t interested in correct decisions,.
Doesn’t matter if there video evidence clearly explaining a decision., they only want decisions in their favour.

You always find fans and even managers refusing to accept decisions.
The BC manager has heavily criticised the referee when video evidence shows he made 2 fairly tough decisions correctly.

Surely he should be praised not negatively criticised.

If the FA consider the appeal as frivolous and make it a 2 match ban, if they don't get to Wembley, wouldn't Dickie be banned for the next seasons opening game?

I cannot believe there is even a discussion about this decision. Anybody who thinks it is not a penalty and sending off…. Well there are no words!!

I’m glad he gave a penalty I’m not convince Moore would have scored

I think so, but that’s probably a risk you’d be willing to take if it meant he could play in the play offs

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Please please please rescind it so he can play Monday.

The chance for Dickie to act on his intrusive thoughts for the third time and send us through in the funniest way possible is too good to miss.

Calling for a change of refs is like chucking toys out of pram

It had all the hallmarks of a JLT challenge

This is a JLT challenge

Clattenburg can still fuck off though

Yep, stopped watching Gladiators because of that preening bastard

 

[The Crab]

He should go with the same formation and tactics. It clearly worked and prevented them from getting a foot hold in the game.

I’m not so sure mate.

They’ll have to go for it, that will leave gaps.

Let’s rope-a-dope them and exploit the gaps

Think you could be right mate. End of the day, I don't think anyone can second guess what CW will do on Monday.

It's either sit back, protect and counter or go for the 4th straight from the off. Both scenarios could work.

I'd be amazed if we don't score at least 1 on Monday so they would need at least 4 and I don't think they've got that in them.

Sit in, keep it nice n tight, pick em off at our leisure. Thats how it will go. Comfortable win for United on the night.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

If it was one of ours who’d done that I’d be fuming.

Funny enough, Anel is fully capable of that type challenge..

 

[Rochdaleblade]

Maybe if he hadn’t been so busy pulling Peck’s shirt off his back the defender could’ve actually tried to get back and clear the ball

The defender starts pulling Peck's shirt before Moore wins the initial header. The correct decision would have been a pen to us.

Absolutely. There are so many reasons why that was a valid goal.
