In todays climate it was 100% at least a yellow card offence for James for endangering an opponent and there are plenty of refs that would have shown him a red. Atwell is generally the worst ref in the division by quite a distance.

Strange that he booked Dunk for the 1st foul he committed when every challenge that Zouma made was a foul, and as for James!

My thoughts exactly and it looked very 50/50 as to who was doing the fouling. Looked like he booked Dunk to show that he held no bias though how James stayed on is a complete mystery...

There’s such thing as a Chelsea “mate”

Simmo have a word.

Didn't see many bad errors from the refs, yet players from both teams were very annoyed with them. It's a sign that you both lack authority and communication.

It's a sign you don't know so much about football.

 

[Triggaaar]

He was close to the ball, as the video clearly show, but didn't get it as he lost the header.

That is a crucial point in football. If you're just late, and just miss the ball, and then wipe out the opponent, it's a foul.

 

[ManxSeagull]

But if the same challenge was made on the floor with feet and opposition player is late and clatters opponent with leg/foot, it is a booking or maybe red card. If challenge is late...but in air or on ground it shouldn’t make any difference.

In the 70s and 80s there would have been actual fighting on the terraces during the game before everyone went off to wait for the pub to reopen so they could have a pint of pisswater before they went home to watch racists telling jokes on black and white televisions.

Those were the days

 

[Whitechapel]

Yea sure every time Dunk goes into a challenge the whole crowd lets out an oh shit noise and then the opposition player leaves the pitch. That was a hospital challenge and he knew what he was doing.

Life must be great with those Brighton tinted specs on.

If it was the other way round everyone on here would think it was unlucky rather than malicious.

 

[blue-shifted]

Officials facilitated the dirtiest team i've seen this season. If he'd given the bookings which were richly deserved in the first half, we wouldn't have had such a niggly game.

In packets of three, disposed of after single use?

Actually thought the Dunk booking ordinarily was correct, however given the hapless ref had ignored persistent foul play by James, and several similar fouls by others it was a bizarre decision.

I think even us getting a free kick was a bit "lucky" but sure, James was a tad bit late so I won't argue much about that.

Hmmmm

That collision with Burn was just one of those unfortunate incidents. Laughable that people think he deserved booking for it. If Dunk did that we’d be praising how brave he was.

Those incidents do happen, but 1) we wouldn't call Dunk brave for doing the same, he's always putting his body on the line, so we're used to it, and 2) we wouldn't be surprised if he got a yellow card, because he was late and hit his opponent.

Yes, because we know what Dunk is like, and he doesn't go in for headers late on purpose. And maybe this challenge was unlucky rather than malicious, but it was still a bookable offence.

 

[Swansman]

Hmmmm

"You" in the second quote = the ref

If any Brighton player went in like that and picked up a card of either colour I'd be annoyed with the player for stupidity, not lauding their bravery. To suppose otherwise is whataboutery combined with assumption. Of course, in the heat of the moment in the ground you'd be giving stick to the ref and not the player because you're the home crowd and part of the home crowd's job should be intimidating officials into giving iffy decisions your way, but I certianly wouldn't be on here or twitter or wherever defending the player afterwards. It's a dangerous challenge. End of.

Really? Ok, fair enough. With English not your first language, I'd not usually say any more, but I know Swedes are really good at languages so... your post should say 'It's a sign that you lack both authority and communication.'. Because you've written 'both lack', that means that two people (or groups) lack authority etc.
