dbsboots Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It was definitely a straight red card. Anyone that says otherwise is completely deluded. As for the Gudjohnson tackle. I haven't seen it, but referees do get it wrong at times. They're only human at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Definite straight red. Two feet, lunged in. Simple decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Agree.. was a red. Gudjohnsen was really lucky if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B36villa Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 yup red card all day long. He seems to like sliding in got away with one a little earlier in the game which he was lucky not to get booked from. The slide tackle to win the ball for gabby was good so pros and cons i suppose.

Rich_D Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Makoun tackle. Gudjohnsen tackle. Both 2 footed lunges showed all studs. Difference? Makoun got 0% of the ball. Gudjohnsen got 100% of the ball. Makoun = red. Gudjohnsen = yellow (for dangerous play but at the end of the day he got the ball) If Gudjohnsen got sent off, a lot of people would be complaining that football has gone soft. If Makoun had not got sent off, we would not be talking about the Gudjohnsen tackle. Fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_D Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Gudjohnsen didn't get a yellow for it though. I know he didn't. Maybe by the law he should have, but then people would complain that football is getting soft. It is a grey area, like a lot of things in football at this moment in time. At it to the list of offside (second phase), challenging the keeper and over all contact within. But that is for a different place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Flamini one was even worse and he got a yellow. Either it is dangerous play or it isn't this is why fans and clubs get frustrated. I think the thing which was against Makoun was Webb was so close to the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Well the Gudjohnson one, he didn't give a foul so he obviously he believed it was a good challenge and not two footed. Flamini was a definite red, I think had it been an English ref, it'd of been given as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 JEAN Makoun is hoping his favourite Song will cheer him up and provide some light relief from his red-card shame tonight. Makoun has been invited as a guest of best friend and Arsenal midfielder Alex Song to watch the Champions League last-16 tie against Barcelona. The Villa new boy hopes the showpiece Emirates tie will take his mind off his dismissal at Blackpool – and whet his appetite for Europe’s premier tournament. Makoun is no stranger to Champions League football having played in the competition for former club Lyon – and would love to grace the same stage with Villa. But in the meantime he is happy to cheer on Cameroon international team-mate Song as the Gunners bid to overcome the Spanish giants. “Song is like my brother because we’re so close,” said Makoun. “We grew up together and we speak every day. “I was lucky enough to start before he did, but now Alex has caught up his play at a very good level. “I was brought up in the same region of the town as Alex and I spent the best part of my childhood with him. “I haven’t had a chance to meet him yet but we speak every day.” Makoun is also good friends with players in the other half of North London – Tottenham defensive duo Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Sebastien Bassong, who are also Cameroon compatriots. But Villa’s 27-year-old midfield maestro admits he will be an adopted Gunners fan for tonight’s match. “Alex Song, Assou-Ekotto, Bassong, I’m very close to them all,” said Makoun. “Alex has invited me to watch the Champions League game with Barcelona, which I’m going to go to. “They are two big teams who both play great football. The best team will win, and I hope it’s Arsenal. “I was involved in the Champions League for six years, now I’m watching it on the telly but I hope to be playing back in there with Aston Villa in the future. “It was two-and-a-half years at Lyon and I’m hoping to win some trophies at Villa.’’ Makoun has also made friends quickly with his fellow French speakers in the Villa dressing room, although he is also taking English lessons to help him settle in at the club. “There is Robert Pires, Habib Beye and Moustapha Salifou that speak French, but now it is up to me to integrate into the team and I’m making an effort to do that,” added Makoun, who is also enjoying working with Villa boss Gerard Houllier. “He wanted to sign me for Lyon but it didn’t actually happen. I’m very proud he kept me in his head and thought about me. “It was important the club supported Mr Houllier in bringing me here and had the willingness to do that because it was a group thing.” http://tinyurl.com/64w5gvq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoody Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nice to know 3 of the players we want out have made one of our new favourites feel at home... can see it being a bit longer until they all leave. With Pires sticking around in order to integrate all of our new french-speaking players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Anyone up for making a film called 'Being Moustapha Salifou'? You basically drive to BH, park up, have a nap, make sure the lads have got enough Lucozade and then go home again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
