Very good player who is completely incapable of challenging for a header without putting 2 hands into the back of his opponent. I really hope we sell him and really wish we had taken the 5 mill when it was on the table. Can't imagine anyone offering anything like that these days.

Just because he got a touch on the ball does not make it a good challenge. It was a dangerous lunge that could have got a straight red.

Footballer in making mistakes shock.
Some people just aren't happy unless they've something to moan about. Or they've never had errors of judgement when doing their job or taking part in something.
Some people are just ***** as well.

Yes I agree but the reaction to sell is moronic
Yep, i seem to remember him doing a few last ditch tackles that have saved almost certain goals. Three match ban will do him good. The first tackle was foolish, the second was mistimed by a player totally committed to the cause.

I respect your opinion
Edit: I also thought he got to the ball well before his opponent. A bit like the pen last week, in my opinion. aggressive yes, a sending off?
As I said - its just a hunch. I just thought the positions he gave the fouls away were silly and I have seen players do daft things to get a move away.
I remember years ago Aston Villa blocking the sale of Ugo Ehiogu when he wanted a move. Then all of a sudden there was an article in News of the World or something like that where he slated Villa on numerous fronts - And then when I asked him about his article on why he did it he said '' My Agent suggested it'' because it was the only thing that would piss Villa off enough to sell him. And he duly got a move to Middlsebrough.
Lewis had his head filled with nonsense in the close season about transfers. Then all of a sudden the transfer window is coming up again. Perhaps I am overly suspicious and reading to much into things which might not be there.
I am not SURE that a yellow was deserved for the last challenge, 50/50 ball in my opinion. It was an ill thought out challenge by someone already on a booking but in that moment of the game they is not a lot of time to think things through. The reaction by the QPR player added to the perceived malice in the challenge, as did LD's petulance after the player challenged him. This will be the last time Dunk acts so rashly as he has now seen the consequences.
Proud as proud can be of what we have achieved this season, but so far this is the low point. We should be 4 points better off from just the last two games but we now find ourselves behind Boro, we should be 10 points out in front if we had just saved two thirds of the points we have surrendered so far. Oh well, onwards and upwards!

Ballistic? Why? It wasn't a bad challenge, it was just half a second too late?

Far too well thought out and sensible a post for NSC !
In fairness, it could have been a poorly worded title for a thread that was about selling something to Dunk, like an unwanted Christmas present, or something.

Agreed. It was definite yellow, but it wasn't a straight-red challenge so I don't see why we'd have been going ballistic about it (which I realise someone other than you said)
