[Albion] Dunk - straight red?

[Uh_huh_him]

Dunk’s verbal assault was unprofessional from a captain, a deserved red, the sport would be mayhem if everyone behaved in that awful way. Leave the insults to us in the stands. His red mist is costing us dear, I hope he has regrets rather than remaining belligerence.

Do we know what Haaland actually said?

Once again this narrative of Dunk's "Verbal Assault" and "red Mist"

Take another look at the offence.
He has paid the ultimate penalty, but his actions were nothing like the way you are describing them.

The red card offence was said as he had turned his back on the official and was walking away.
Stupid, but in no way was it an assault.

Hyperbole, yes, but Dunk said something that was construed as personal abuse just after receiving a yellow and then received a straight red card.

Whether it's "verbal assault" or "naughty words", "red mist" or "silly sending off", the outcome is the same: our captain's ill-discipline has cost us dearly when he should know better. That's the narrative.

Absolutely - but compare and contrast with the actions of Haaland.
The Hyperbole would not be unjustified in the way he has responded to the ref.

We are piling onto our captain about his discipline, when the reality is that his dismissal was as much down to Taylor's over-reaction as it was to Dunk's ill-discipline.
