Popular Post Okonokos Posted March 10 Popular Post Share Posted March 10 (edited) Disgusting refereeing as usual. I called it from the first minute when he gave something soft their way. It was quite clear which way the ref wanted the match to go. Yellow all day long. No malice at all. In the however many hundreds of games McGinn has played for us, has he ever intentionally hurt anyone? He was frustrated, hyped up and was a split second late from making a cracking tackle we'd have all applauded. Absolutely nothing more than a yellow. But I suppose when the entire bench jumps up on the pitch like that, it makes the ref react. Edited March 11 by Okonokos 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a red I want to see it again but I know I won’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This added to the drama, it was right in front of the dugouts! With all the spurs bench up. In real time it looks a cynical tackle, born of frustration. Maybe further up the pitch a yellow? But let's not kid ourselves the club would be stupid to appeal, VAR and the Ref deemed it a red, all it would do is give McGinn another game ban. He can play Thursday and hopefully a captains performance from him, we are going to miss him, been exceptional since Unai came in, just look back to when Gerrard was here. He was awful and it would have been a bonus to have him missing for 3 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had another 3 days we would have lost the game the way we were going..we needed something different, at least he tried. Crap outcome but don't get on his back for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 It's a cynical foul then type you see City and Liverpool make all the time .If he was running through on goal I could maybe see the red but area it was in ,it was a yellow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Def no point appealing, they won't overturn one like that. Still I do think most times a foul like that would be given yellow, because it's not 2 footed, it's not high, it's essentially a trip but because he went in fast and because of the intense reaction from bench it tilted ref to give red. I'm thinking back to Tarkowski against us and I don't see a lot of difference, but he didn't even get a foul called against him, if I remember correctly.

Still a huge loss for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I think a lot of you have lost the plot here. Yes this kind of thing is often a yellow, but we can really have no complaints about it being a red, and absolutely no chance is an appeal going to be successful. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Saw the red mist as he was frustrated about the side's performance. He will be disappointed tonight going in with that sort of challenge. I never really understand why fans clap a player who has just been sent off. McGinn has been brilliant for us but he has weakened the side now he is suspended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 10 Moderator Share Posted March 10 I don't think it was a red, but there's absolutely no point appealing it - to win the appeal you'd have to prove the ref made a mistake, which would mean not a foul, you can't appeal the refs opinion of a suitable punishment for the offence, only that his judgement was incorrect. For me it's yellow, but I can see why it's given and there's n chance whatsoever it get rescinded. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was trying to get into him to rough him up, get us fighting a little and overdone it. No intent of getting the ball, it was as cynical as it gets. That is a straight red, if it went the other way we'd be shouting for a red 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He messed up but I think he deserves to know that the fans won’t give him grief about it. He’ll be his own harshest critic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khizzy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If that challenge was intentional and McGinn didn't care about getting sent off he would have done a better job of nobbling him. Unfortunately You Doggie forgot he was hurt after the challenge and went down again. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
