Baird of the land

I don’t think it should be but equally I can see rooney’s point when in the modern game outfield players can get sent off for winning the ball but be done for excessive force/endangering opponent.

Like watching canada weird decision not to play larin, then only give him 15 minutes off the bench.

What comes around, goes around. Club was pretty disloyal in trying to leave it to last minute in the hopes that we could ditch him if we got promoted.

Happy we’ve got him back.

Yep club come off badly in my eyes. They had plenty of time to pick up the option even after we were caught spying. Were they too thick to understand the contract. Regardless it’s hardly going to make Stewart feel valued.

On the replay its clear his hand slaps his face. I don't think it should be a red but modern's games view of violent conduct is so low i can see why they've given the decision.

Red carding for a slap isn't much different to red cards for hair pulling

guessing there's going to be lots of red cards in this tournament also s.africa not making a great case for the expansion of the tournament

I'll be curious what the replacement plan is when he goes. Would it bank the money to fill the hole and restock the depth with potential and Quarshie expected to play a bigger role or go out and spend big.

Felt a weird move by Edwards at the time ( I assume he was told he would be safe) as they were already doomed. Equally, there's a fair chance this new move will end badly, whereas at least Edwards had a track record in the division.

What premier league club wants a player who was too bad to start for forest, West Ham and Burnley. nobody with any sense in the championship should be running to rescue west ham from his massive wages, anymore than team’s were rushing to free us of Aribo in august.

Curious for details of how he managed to fly into Dublin in the first place.

I'm keeping everything crossed that we can keep hold of him.

No thanks on Jwp. Not the player he was, hence his inability to get game time across 3 clubs and has a massive salary. Leave west ham to deal with that quandary.

Yep it is. shea got a very nice assist for the n.i goal.
