Greens Red Card


Give it to Ron

Not sure how they have managed to squirm out of that. Watching the highlights on BBC sport it was a nailed-on red card. Last man - shocking tackle to prevent a clear goalscoring opportunity.

 

Can't have England players being sent off and suspended now can we.

Don't understand why it was only 1 match either...straight red=3.

Not seen the highlights so can't comment but not sure what the argument is here.

 

- If the foul occured outside the area with no covering player and the attacker had a reasonable chance of controlling the ball then that's a red.

- If there's a covering player or no real chance of controlling the ball, then a yellow.

- If it's inside the area then usually yellow + penalty provided it's not common assault.

- Eitherway it's only ever a one match ban for a straight red resulting from denying a goal-scoring opportunity.

 

But as we know from the Tevez affair, the rules don't apply to West Ham.

 

Regardless, I think they'll finish 17th.

having watched it on the bbc its not a red for me. deffo yellow but players not far around given how far the attacher boots the ball in front of him. Dunno what that means in terms of if it should be upheld but the way i see it is that it wasnt a red so he shouldnt be banned. Cant believe thetve got 7 from 9 after going down to 10 in all three of their last games!

There was clearly a covering defender in the middle of the area, but Green completely took out the striker who did something like a 360 degree faceplant, which I would say is reckless and therefore deserving of a red card whether it was denying of a goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO) or not.

 

So they probably got away with it because the ref said it was DOGSO, which he must have done for it not to be a 3 match ban in the first place and West Ham pointed out the covering defender. Which is a crock of shat really.

And then of course there's this lunacy where they've got nutters still declaring Sharp threw his neck onto Taylors hand or that the photo was doctored....

My advice. Look in your own backyard first and you'll find just us many confused souls / nutjobs.

probably won't make much difference, expect their back up is pretty handy as well.Pretty solid defence of late (except at Ipswich

but on that occasion they weren't down to 10 men so probably got a bit confused as to who was supposed to do what)

 

Bit of a backhanded compliment for you on KUMB though.

Just watched the Green sending off for the first time.

 

It's still a red card for me. Yes, there was another West Ham player close by but, if Green had charged out and missed the Blackpool player, instead of chopping him down, then I'm pretty convinced the West Ham defender wouldn't have got back in time to stop the ensuing shot from the Blackpool player, ergo Green's action stopped as near as damn it a certain goal.

 

But there again, what do I know?

Hahahaha that's priceless. Some gorms on their claiming we don't knopw the rules when it comes to red and yellow cards, then one of the claims that having seen the replay, Sharp should have got a booking for running over to Noble and then another one for play-acting. Not a single one of them seems the slightest bit concerned about the blatant dive from Noble to win the penalty in the first place. no siree, he's wearing a WHU shirt so he MUST have been fouled.

The other possibility is that the attacker was deemed to have been going away from the goal - that is, the ball was not going towards the goal but out towards the wing - even if it's only slightly, under the current interpretation that's not DOGSO. Which is why last weekend's assault on the Cardiff striker definitely wasn't a red for DOGSO - he took the thing sideways when he was chopped down.

 

Again the question there was more if the keeper was reckless, which Green certainly was. Should have been a 3 match ban for violent conduct not a 1 match ban (overturned) for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

 

As a general rule I'm not sure why people think West Ham are being protected when they've had someone sent off in three straight matches.

I couldn't really care less. I'm only worried about our players' fitness for Watford.

 

It seems we have some fans who are more obsessed with what is going on a WH than with us. So what if their keeper got sent off and it got over-turned, I'm more worried about if Sharp is match fit, Guly has recovered from his illness and if we have to put up with Harding at right-back again

so that would be no,no and highly likely then.

Shouldn't matter whether it's red, I thought they'd only change it if it's mistaken identity or something daft like that.

 

Given WH have admitted it's promotion or bust, are the FL trying to make sure yet another club doesn't go into administration? They do seem to have had a huge amount of good fortune this season. Their fans can't see it, but they're an odd bunch at the best of times. They shouldn't even need the help with that expenditure. They've gone for the QPR/Pompey short term route, perhaps even more than they did. No decent football, no planning for the future, no building a team just 'sign everyone and make sure we get up this season or we're FCKED'.

 

Wish they'd fail, it's not good for football at all, and clubs like Reading, Cardiff, Blackpool deserve it far more for building steadily, cutting costs when needed and trying to play football. I'd include Brum in that, but they signed Marlon King, so fck them.

stop talking shyt.........cardiff and brum have been fuked finically in the past...recent past..

west ham have signed some very good players and have owners underwriting their finances.........

Thanks for that.

 

Cardiff didn't spend anything like the same, and have sold plenty of players. Birmingham have lost 25 players this season to rebuild and cut costs. It's not getting into financial problems that bothers me so much, but the way clubs deal with it, learn from it and move on.

 

But you can view it however you like, I won't be calling it shyt.

saying the football league don't want west ham in admin so they reversed a red card.....adrian, that is desperate shyte...imagine reading that about us on any other message board

 

 

mean while....we keep signing people despite not breaking even.....is that fair... or is that just 'different'....?
