Villarocker Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 It's not Coleman proportions but he probably has that against him now and if you live by the sword.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite my thoughts about it being a very obvious yellow, the fact that it is sometimes given as a red, albeit harshly, means I don't think the appeal will be successful.

Have a good break Neil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it at the game so the video above is the only angle I've saw. From that I'd agree with your assessment. Not enough for a red but it won't be overturned.

Stevo985 Posted September 30, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2017 That's a red. No problem with that decision. Thought it at the time, nothing changed after seeing that replay. He's jumped in, it's high, it's out of control. We won't be appealing that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Stupid completely reckless and needless there was like 30 seconds left Bolton no where near the goal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) There was no malice in the challenge it was just wreckless. Probably was a red. Stupid unnecessary sending off. Edit: just read Bruce said we will appeal it. It's worth an appeal imo. Edited September 30, 2017 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Thought he was last man or something so bit worried to see the challenge and the three match ban. Who's going to play left back now? Bit of a problem considering we've got Wolves next and also the derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said earlier in thread, i didn't see it from my seats and the video posted a couple of pages back isn't the best angle, but you make a great point. With seconds left on the clock, and in no apparent danger, you simply can't go flying into tackles like that. It might not be red, but i doubt it will be overturned.

One For The Road Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Poor decision making from the player himself. Nowhere near the goal with only seconds left and he goes and does that. Now we are without our first choice left back for a huge local derby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was intended, and he got caught out by bad control and lunged in to win back, but it was a bad tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 How the hell did we end up with 4 right backs and 1 left back anyway? Wasn't it because we have a decent youngster that can play there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only young left back we have I can think of is Oscar Borg, I don't think he is ready personally if he ever will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Doesn't Mitch Clark play left back? Might give him a go although I think de last should get a game there. This is his chance to show what he can do just like adomah did. 1 hour ago, av1 said: As i said earlier in thread, i didn't see it from my seats and the video posted a couple of pages back isn't the best angle, but you make a great point.

We can all talk about whether it was a red or not but fundamentally the player has to take a hard look at himself. A stupid and reckless decision. He did a awful tackle on Coleman, so I am surprised he went in like that. just made absolutely no sense with 30 seconds left of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
