srsmithusa Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 the red was harsh for the "professional foul" However, for nostalgia, when I played in the US. in that situation we would have just grabbed his shirt and pulled him back from the ball. He would have probably thanked the defender for not whacking his ankle to bring him down. there would have been no card at all. That's even if the defender was the last man back with a open goal. nobody talked about professional or tactical fouls. it was just an accepted "good idea" as long as you did it in a non-violent way it was actually "gentlemanly." Times change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The ref should be punished for corrupt referring. He clearly did it to even the playing field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Seems traore failed to get his overturned and faces a 3 game ban - I thought both might get off with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Suprised it's over turned. Hell what do I know? It's probably because they didn't want refs to start sending players off for deliberate trips. I still don't think it can be classed as a trip though.

markavfc40 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The right decision to overturn it. Also good news that he is available for the weekend as I thought he was very good against Boro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Should never have been a red card so the right decision has now been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintpotvilla Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 It was absolutely 100% a red card. Ref was spot on. It was malicious and dangerous. Getting the ball didn't enter his thinking, just the player. Rescinding the red just puts out the wrong message, ie it's OK to tackle from behind with no hope of getting the ball just to stop an attack progressing. If that was a Boro player the crowd would have screamed for a red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but by the rules of the game; after intensive post-match reviews from every angle, they revoked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no malice andno dangerous play. We don't want it to become a non contact sport where any challenge results in a red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) He's not very good and I'm concerned we're paying him a lot of money as his contract at Forrest was up. Edited September 20, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
