loughborough_saint Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Also hated seeing Schneiderlin waving imaginary yello card at the linesman in the 1st half - he should get an instant yellow card himself for this. Clearly wasn't asking for a yellow card - no idea why the commentator suggested he was and even less idea why any one else watching couldn't see that the commentator was wrong. How many yellow cards have you seen given out by waving them from side to side? He was asking the lino why he flagged if it was just a throw in!!! Lino flagged for something more then changed his mind (replays suggest lino was correct but Morgabn didn't have that luxury!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 We will miss him during his three match ban especially after we severly missed him against dirty Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 We will miss him during his three match ban especially after we severly missed him against dirty Leeds. Should have enough about us to beat Brentford and Stockport without him, glad he's back for the JPT game. Will miss him a lot tomorrow, we're not going to have much possesion against a Championship side so need to use the ball well when we do get it and he's our best passer of the ball.

Red&White Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 Frustrating decision from the ref as the other guy (Gleeson?) was hardly blameless, but if you have a ref who has been poor all game, why give him the chance to make another poor decision, with a tame shove. Not clever.

I was critical of James' display at Leeds in the middle, but he played a lot better up at Franchise, so hopefully he can carry that into this game.

Andy_Porter Posted 22 January, 2010 Share Posted 22 January, 2010 I hope so, his future is in the middle imo. He's another player who looks a lot better in our 4--5-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are maybe wrong there it was Gleeson who was fouled after all but if grabbing somebody by the shirt is a sending off offence when somebody approaches you then you are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it shows that the appeal process does work the offence did not warrant a three match ban. Now Morgan has been rested an should be in good shape for tomorrow perhaps the one match ban was a blessing in disguise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 25 January, 2010 Share Posted 25 January, 2010 Whereas normally it might not have been a good idea for challenging suspensions for fear that the ban might be increased, perhaps the FL also had to make a review of the match to see what the context for the retaliation was. They might well have seen that the general standard for the refereeing was very poor. He had missed a blatant handball that should have been a penalty. He did not punish that awful tackle from behind with anything more than a yellow, while issuing two yellow cards when our players were incensed by it, effectively one for wagging a finger at the culprit and the other for the team's former captain attempting to pull our players away from the resultant melee. So in light of these really poor decisions, this other decision might well have been deemed to be an over reaction from an official that had frankly lost control.
