But like it or loathe it we all know how the game is now officiated, and challeges like that are no longer acceptable.

The one thing which disgusted me was the tackled player's reaction. He rolled around for the 10 seconds it took for the ref to get across there and then once he saw the red card he was up and running immediately. Like many have said, its a yellow card 9 times out of 10 but its not one that'll be rescinded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where was the officiating for the previous 95 minutes that saw dozens of shirt pulls, completely obvious holding and shoves in back go unpunished?

Now we are delving into consistency which is a completely different topic. The ref was shit today there is no doubt about it, but the laws of the game are clear, reckless challenges that put players in danger is a red. Taylor was reckless, he could have broken the lads leg. The ref was shit but he wasn't a million miles out with that decision. It might not have been a red but it wasn't so bd a decision that it will get overturned. You'd have thought te kid would have learnt his lesson after snapping Shemus Coleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought te kid would have learnt his lesson after snapping Shemus Coleman. It appears the rules of the game are not so clear, otherwise the referee would not have left so many fouls unpunished. I don't think the red will be rescinded but it's also a pity we can't retrospectively be given a dozen or so free kicks and a few Bolton yellow cards that the rules of the game are designed to help a game of football to exist. If the rules of the game had been correctly applied, Bolton would have had a couple of red cards themselves (via yellows) and/or we'd have had more goal chances via free kicks in advanced areas. Shemus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref was utter shit but Taylor has to take responsibility for that tackle it was stupid, needless and idiotic considering there was like 20 seconds left in the game.

TrentVilla Posted October 1, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2017 Red any day of the week in my view, its one of those rare occasions when the ref probably had a better view than those watching on TV. He is either a little reckless or a little nasty Taylor as he has done a few of these, I'm not sure which it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty far away from the ball there being at knee height so it's hard to assume that tackle wasn't without some intent hence the ref wasting no time at all in showing the red. You would have thought Taylor would have learnt by now though so I guess he has a nasty streak in him which has deprived the team of their best LB with important games coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is about where I am... It will be a one game ban though won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted October 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2017 I thought red cards for 'dangerous tackles or violent conduct' (and it is difficult to say that wasn't dangerous) carried a 3 match ban? I could be wrong but I though that was the normal penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted October 1, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted October 1, 2017 I'm not so sure it matters what it's for. Always thought a straight red was an automatic 3 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, a red for violent conduct is a 3 match ban a straight red such as Taylor's should be a 1 match ban unless the disciplinary panel increases it which I wouldn't expect.

Fair enough, however a bit moot in this situation has a knee high challenge such as this will surely be classed as violent conduct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Getting banned by Fifa previously for something similar will hardly endear him to a panel - can see this being a 3 match ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an automatic 3 then unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
