Sendings off

[SB_90]

cant complain about clarke sending off because it was the right decision i can understand why he did it espically heat of the moment & all that, as ill discipline after he was provoked but you cant (from where I was) grab anyone by throat. i knew a red was coming straight away

 

[YES Blade]

I'm struggling to understand how it ruined the match for both teams and supporters?

I thought it was loads better to watch 10 v 10. Much more open game.

In fact I'd be happy to change to laws to start at 10 v 10, with player fitness as it is compared to when the law says we're made, it makes it easier to shut up shop and defend. Much more open matches would be great.

Can't really see what their lad did first but looks like a swinging elbow

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Leon's part in the affair, pretty stupid - can see why he got a red.

Perhaps he was just checking his pulse?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I guess I need to see it again. To me it just seemed like a bit of squaring up but neither player really wanting to do anything that would risk a red. The neck thing was a bit weird, he seemed to be holding him and muttering something into his ear.

It wasn't "I love you".

 

[spongebobblade]

Unfortunately in the modern game it looks like the ref got it right. Back in the 70s/80s it would have been a stern word and a booking in the 90s. Both players shouldn't have given the ref a decision to make. Nowt but stupid handbags

 

[Norderner]

A bit needless. Ruined it for both teams and especially the supporters. Should have left it at a booking each.

Worse foul all day was by Mr "1-0 to Barnsley" Jason McCarthy? The clearest red card you'll ever see. Reckless, ugly, and potential leg breaker, when the ball was going out of play? No wonder Heckingbottom subbed him at half time, cos one more tackle and he was gone. Yet the inconsistent cunt in charge, who's sent 4 off in 6 games before today, totally bottled it! Not forgetting the tackle on the edge of the area, that Duffy kicked into the wall, no card, then sharp gets booked for a nowt challenge, then lol and behold, 2 minutes later, a Barnsley player does the same offence, no booking! The taking out of freeman clean through in the area after a 1-2? These shithouse twats do my cake in.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Daft for me....both idiots.
Waggy finger off the ref when I was a lad....then a Yellow card once upon a time, but now straight reds. Thems the laws, neither can complain.

Clarke may find it harder to get back in like Bash did when he was sent off at Scunny. It's indiscipline, and Wilder insists on discipline.

 

[Norderner]

Three game ban, one of them will be the Cup tie, but more essential than ever we sign a forward, especially in light of Evans display, nowhere near up to starting yet.

Don't think one is the cup tie? Don't suspension start from 7 days after the offence? So he's allowed to play against the administration thieves?

 

[metalblade]

If Clarke had been smarter he would have gone down like a shot elephant when the dingle took a swing at him that would have been a sending of and a penalty.

^^^^^^^^^*^^^^^ This 100%.

 

[Large Mendonca]

It's a pity that common sense can't be part of the game anymore. Yes technically two reds but come on, it was nothing.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

You see two yellows given for to the same thing in football around the world, at every level, every week.

And? The laws are the laws and if refs are weak enough they will give yellows when they should give reds won't they?

 

[Liverpool blade]

Definitely red cards I M O. I saw Clarke grab the guy by the collar and it looked as though he was about to stick the nut on him but the dingle got in there first and tried to nut Clarke!!. Refs and common sense have never been best mates though so no hope on that front?. Onwards and upwards for the blades though!. Utb ftp

Never heard that one before mate

 

[super_pig]

barnsley lad elbowed him for the second time.. leon shoukd have dropped him and walked off

 

[sirchris]

Clarke wasn't a red, MacDonald wasn't a red and it came to nothing. If anything I'd have booked Clarke for inciting it and their lad for reacting.

Let them play for fucks sake, It's football!

looked like mcdonald punched Clarke in the chest, Clarke reacted by grabbing him by throat then mcdonald head butted Clarke ever so gently. Hannah's yellow for both would have been sensible texting

 

[YES Blade]

Why is it the ref that gets stick for not showing common sense? If the players had any common sense they wouldn't get involved in stupid incidents and get themselves sent off!

 

[Bladepicker]

If Clarke had been smarter

It's a good theory but there's an obvious obstacle

 

[zablade]

Don't think one is the cup tie? Don't suspension start from 7 days after the offence? So he's allowed to play against the administration thieves?

Not unless they have changed the rules this season. Starts straight away.

 

[Maidenhead]

2 reds was the only obvious decision. It's in the laws of the game you see.

You appear to have picked up a Welsh twang from midweek

At least the ref gave a free kick, it looked to me as though the lino, a full two yards away, didn't give anything.

Mind you , he struggled with offsides all afternoon as well.

 

[TBW57]

For a football fan of my vintage, to see a centre forward wearing 9 and a centre half wearing 5 get sent off for fighting was heartwarming. I felt like a youngster again watching Larry Lloyd and Wyn Davies get stuck into each other in the 1970s.

By the way, I thought the ref had a good game and allowed lots of advantages while not forgetting to go back and yellow card players who had committed fouls. I think he booked Billy because he had already annoyed him by taking the piss out of Barnsley's fans when he scored so then fouling someone straight afterwards meant he deserved a yellow, for being a bad lad twice.

 

[stringer]

Also thought the ref was excellent.

 

[S64 Blade]

Stupid from Clarke. He's lost his place in the XI now.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

You see two yellows given for to the same thing in football around the world, at every level, every week.

Happen so, but that down to refs not correctly applying the laws of the game.

 

[Small Mendonca]

How stupid! Two sendings off in the modern game over absolutely nothing. Don't know who started it but even if one of them called the other something derogatory, you'd just walk away wouldn't you and laugh? Don't get this any excuse to fight nonsense, suppose I've been brought up properly.

 

[Ginger Gnome]

The Barnsley player had a dig at Leon in the ribs for no reason when the ball was nowhere near them, straightforward violent conduct and a blatant red card offence.
Clarke retaliated by grabbed him by the throat and shoved his head in, definite aggressive behaviour and leaving himself open to a red card.
Barnsley bloke then tried to nut Clarke, a blatant red card offence.

Even if Clarke didn't react the way he did so the butting heads didn't happen the Barnsley player should still have got a red for the first incident.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

One of the reasons Clarkey's on his 17th club maybe...

 

[mattbianco1]

Clarke wasn't a red, MacDonald wasn't a red and it came to nothing. If anything I'd have booked Clarke for inciting it and their lad for reacting.

Let them play for fucks sake, It's football!

Unfortunately 'violent conduct' results in a straight red so both were rightly dismissed under the letter of the law
