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.
refresh me, the collar dresses which part of the human anatomy??Image above for me shows collar grab not neck.
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.

put your hand anywhere round there and your giving the ref a decision to make, Leon has started league games, now does this - bell end. Type of thing i expect Joey Barton to do, who is THE bell end (Ba hons)

Can't really see what their lad did first but looks like a swinging elbow
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.
It was a stupid booking; not because it was wrong but why did he pull his man back when we had a full team defending? It wasn't like they were breaking away or anything.Did you notice Billy point to the Blades fans on the top tier and telling the ref he was saluting them?
As for Billy's booking, he pulled his man back. I think a booking is in line with the rules.
I tend to agree but can you tell me why a penalty was not awarded when a player was struck in the penalty box ? Clarke was sent off for retaliation the Barnsley player struck an opponent the result should have been a penalty kick.I'm glad he didn't. It was seen and dealt with. I hate the players who fall down at the drop of a hat.

Maybe because most are having a pop a Leon for reacting (which was dumb) looking at the replay the defender clearly swings an elbow at Clarke whether he connects or not it should be a penalty.Why hasn't that occurred to anyone else? Penalty kick - has to be.
Its certainly the way it's done in the amateur game but not sure it's the same for the prosNever heard that one before mate
Did Ref see the "struck in the penalty box" or just Clarkes retaliation and then the Barnsley players retaliation to the retaliation?I tend to agree but can you tell me why a penalty was not awarded when a player was struck in the penalty box ?

Yeah I understood thats what they went for, but neither were that in the context of the game...Unfortunately 'violent conduct' results in a straight red so both were rightly dismissed under the letter of the law
not throwing him under a bus, I'm a Clarke fan tbh, like a player with a bit of attitude. But if it was Brooks who retaliated with his hands in the throat area we could have said he got caught up in the derby atmosphere, is young, will learn etc. But Leons been round the block. I would expect Wilder to be saying to him he should know better, don't bite, 3 & half games we have lost you for. If whoever comes in scores, you on the bench - if a player gets sent off for hand ball on the goal line that's professional, a mistimed forwards tackle is unlucky, but raising your hands is just stupid.Wait, so grabbing a shirt now is a sending off offence? Whether it's his collar or not, it's his fucking shirt.
Now, the consensus is that he grabbed his throat. Fair enough, seems my perception is off.
He made a mistake, but the eagerness to throw him under the bus screams of agenda. Were it Billy, or Fleck, or Jack O'C, there'd not be the same reaction.

for what it's worth i think a yellow each would have been sensible, but the refs are under such tight instruction, and with the added media coverage in this league the ref can let it go. That's the frustration, Leon gave the ref the problem.
Clarke got hold of him by the throat, was a red, we were discussing it in depth over a pie, under the tv in the Westfield.
