[Albion] Was it a red?

Iggle Piggle · Nov 10, 2018

If there's one thing I've learnt over the years watching football, it doesn't matter what I think. It what the Centre United Non Touching Sports think or the FA in other words.

-Should that be a red? No. It's ridiculous.
-would it be overturned on appeal? No. Studs are up so someone "could have got hurt" Pointless and depressing in equal measure.
-Is Atkinson the worst ref I've seen since we've been in the PL? By an absolute mile.

Hughton said himself 50/50 challenge which gave the ref a decision to make stevens has a history of these challenges at least we can have a few weeks without and average player and c how we go then we will know if he is as good as a few think he is

When was a 50/50 challenge ever a red card. He gave the ref a decision to make but the ref has probably 60-80 decisions a game to make. He got the card wrong.

Not sure I understand the rest of your post but if I've managed to somehow conquer the spelling and wording then the simple fact is that our record with Stephens is considerably better than without him.

No, need to see other angles, but barely a yellow and not sure he made much contact with the Cardiff player.

That said in real time at the game, as soon he chased the ball I was worried.

Maybe, but the other big difference in those challenges was that Cunningham’s foul was deliberate with no attempt whatsoever to play the ball - whereas Stephens made what seemed to be a genuine attempt to play the ball. Shame that refs don’t seem to take that into account.

I totally agree with you. But for me it’s more that you need to move to harsher penalties for Cunningham’s type challenge than lessening the punishment for Stephens type challenges because Stephens’ challenge was reckless and dangerous, irrespective of the fact that it was a 50/50.

I've seen a decent replay now. After he gets the ball he collects him flush on his standing leg studs up in the shin. Aspinall said Cardiff told him he snapped the shin pad in half. 100% red I'm afraid.

AmexRuislip · Nov 10, 2018

Just seen the Newcastle v Bournemouth game that had a similar tackle from behind to DS.
Only this time a yellow card FFS!

drew · Nov 10, 2018

In real time I can see why it was given. Yet to see loads of replays but that doesn't make a difference as the clubs voted against VAR!

beorhthelm · Nov 10, 2018

just seen it, and have to say it was a red. out of control, studs up. it wasnt a hard tackle but players know that will get a card and risking a red.

No, no it wasn’t.

It was very tough to call to be honestly. On the pitch and in the circumstances it seemed worse than it was but he had a stud raised and went flying in so in 2018 it’s a red.

Regulation red but an interesting poll on how many blue tinters we have

Or just see it differently from you

100% red! Absolutely stupid tackle and no need to do it!

I'm just wondering what other replays people are watching

Watch this (top) one at 4.52. You can actually see Stephens' foot flex backwards when it meets his shin. Not his standing leg though, it was just off the ground.

Absolutely this. Disgrace and 100% against the spirit of the game. The governing bodies are a joke

LlcoolJ · Nov 10, 2018

I watched it with a Bolton fan, a Wednesday [emoji23] fan and a Sheffield United fan. All three said that there was no way it was a red. I agreed.

Little drops of poison here and there. All agree with each other and then their mates agree.

In two months time we will get genuine calls (not bathseagull) calling for Hughton to go.

You don't post any positive opinions about Brighton, but I know you're not a Palace troll. The problem is that fans like you are never satisfied and always moan. There are about ten or so on this forum who do the same.
