Just watched a ridiculous sending off of a WBA player....should never have been a booking ...Sherwood dancing on the touchline doesn't help

I can see how the referee saw it as a sending off. The pundits were very scathing of him, but they had the benefit of instant replays.

Sorry, anybody who thinks pitch invasions during the game are a good idea is not equipped for an intelligent conversation.

They are fun to watch.

He seems to have ignored the distance the villa player slides to get anywhere near the tackle area

That doesn't mean the 'stamp' was irrelevant.

Hmm...i can see what u are saying...does the Villa player make a meal of it? Maybe its just the way the game is these days.

I dont think that was relevant I think he saw the player trying to get his legs free from the colision and saw it as a kick or stamp.

I'll ignore the pundits....we all know they can get it wrong too.

We were granted with a replay seconds later. The referee saw a two footed challenge and the victim writhing.

Rescind and ban the other dude.

The guy was no way trying to get his legs free..i'm talking about the danger of the way the Villa player went into the tackle...but then we have been there earlier on haven't we lol

I think the Villa player made a reckless slide in so had he been sent off I could agree but as it was the WBA player I assume the ref saw or thought he saw something a few seconds later. I think it was to do with the way he pulled his foot out to kick the ball.

I wonder if the linesman/4th official said something as there was a big delay between it happening and the ref blowing

Two red cards in the Celtic game in 10 mintues

1-0 Dundee (Beating Celtic)

Conway showing us what we're missing again...

Absolutely shocking refereeing in the Dundee vs Celtic game, shocking penalty decision and a player sent off completely randomly after doing nothing wrong, bizzare. Van Djik also sent off in the same incident for absolutely nothing.

Truly bizzare officiating.

Dundee now with two players sent off


EDIT: The linesman is actually to blame for influencing the ref's mind about what cards to give

Ref wants to get in on the 'who can give the stupidest red card' competition that seems to be going on in British football this weekend.

Celtic pull one back, 1-1

I think that we were fully aware of his abilities. However, we couldn't compete against Blackburn with their 3 years of parachute payments remaining, as well as the fact that they STILL failed FFP.

Let's not give the club stick for failing to spend silly money that we don't have.

Doesn't Blackburn's parachute payments end this season?
