Verbruggen's yellow for standing his ground when Tom Davies' lost the plot, was a joke.
The other three Albion ones (Buonanotte, Lamptey and Gilmour) were all correctly awarded, to be fair.

Yeah, we all commented on that my dad going: - “why are they preparing for an aerial bombardment? we’re not playing Everton!”
That was bizarre and the players all looked like they were thinking … wtf? Although clearly Holgate just doesn’t think…
That tackle was horrible, I honestly thought that’s Mitoma finished and that was in real time.

Yes. It was bizarre.
Did they have to head away one high ball like that, from a straight long clearance, in the whole game?
A manager living 20 years in the past. They're down. They should sack him, play younger players, employ some tactics that their fans can get behind.
Watching them let us pass it around unchallenged deep in their half when they were 2 nil down was bizzare. I truly never want to support a team like that. I almost felt like screaming at them, "just get in and compete for the ball"

My dad was, believe me… it was almost like they were sulking re the sending off… fine! We’ll just sit here and watch you… beat that !
lol… and they’re so bad we did… and how.
From what I have read the 3 match suspension is just a guide, more matches can be added and there doesn't seem to be an upper limit
Most Sheff Utd fans will be hoping it's a 13 match ban,

I don’t think it’s fair that his challenge and sending off should ultimately give Sheff United an advantage. I say we let him off the 3 game ban and they have to play him every week.

A different kind of pasty
Although it was hilarious when he lined one up and threw it straight out of play for a goal kick for us second half
He’s on a high from the point gained at the Etihad.
He is a complete prick, he stormed out last time after not getting his own way and trying to blackmail the owner to his demands.

In the post-match Radio Sussex chat, Warren was tearing Holgate a new one – both for the assault and also him as a player in general – and wondered just why Wilder had signed him. I didn't realise Holgate been shipped out of Everton to Saints at the start of the season ('He made his debut for the club on 2 September 2023 in a 5–0 defeat to Sunderland' LOLz). Four other appearances between then and the end of Jan tells a story, I guess.
I doubt he was expecting this start to his SUFC career: 'He made his debut two days later at home against Aston Villa, in a 5–0 defeat at Bramall Lane'. And then yesterday he went one better and got sent off and the same scoreline (although he wasn't much to do with that ON the pitch), in what was only his third appearance!
Amazing

tinky ****in winky
was Holgate attempting an on pitch vasectomy...?? that's the only justification , bloody awful challenge , good job it wasn't lower to be honest , more chance of proper damage , below the knee or mid shin thats probably a broken leg .....terrible

This has been an utter car crash of a season for The Blades, right from when they sold Ndiaye and Berge just prior to opening day.
It is really unforgiveable, especially in light of the fact they had a blue print for success from their 2019/20 season when they came up and finished 9th. There, they kept the same squad of players but augmented it with the likes of Dean Henderson and Sander Berge. They also had players like John Lundstrum and John Fleck who had been round the block and chipped in with 10 goals.
Their recruitment has been atrocious and they have stunk the Prem out. I think they are a decent club, but you can easily see them do a Stoke City or Cardiff City and disappear from the Prem without trace.

Goldstein & Bent just sensible for once, both calling that assault "disgusting".

On Sheffield. Why oh why did they continue with the long ball out every time the keeper had it? Within two touches we had it back. Playing out from the back could have been better but they never used it. Surely Wilder has tried it at least once in training.

Warren was questioning why/how this guy is even a pro footballer, let alone in one of the top divisions in world football. Thuggery aside he's garbage.

Given that haircut I think Bart missed a trick by not shouting "You looking at me?" when Davies got in his face. Not that there was much wrong with his "what the f*** do you think your doing"

I assume to get the ball as far as possible away from their penalty area, given that they probably expected to lose the ball very close to their own penalty area given we were camped in their half.
No doubt looking to gain a foul, and therefore get a free kick, so that they could put the ball into our area, and give their defence a breather.
But it failed dismally and the second half had the feel of a walking training session.
