Last acceptable red card

[paulwantsapint]

Obviously no red card is a good thing but some are less bad

2 yellows for the team - Morgan v Chelsea

Last man 25 yards out

 

Others are stupid

Mane v Liverpool

Wanyama

[Appy]

Gobern was acceptable

[1576]

Nothing wrong with Benali v Fashanu either.

 

[stevegrant]

Tahar El Khalej on Kieron Dyer.

[Saints foreva]

Didn't Olly Lancashire take one for the team in the final minutes against Sheffield Utd in our relegation season?

[ericofarabia]

Any of Franny's 11 Reds were good value. If you are going to et sent off make sure it's worth it!!

 

Wasn't there another one like the one above V West Ham, Paulo Futre launched into the advertising boards and Franny didn't even look at the ref, just started walking off before the red was even brandished~!!

Never tire of seeing that one. That's how you dealt with the biggest thug in football.

[Saint IQ]

Might as well offer him to China for £25 million . Window is still open, and will only be available for 8 more games for us if a 5 game ban.

Jason Dodd v Villa at the end the season 1990's. He was the last man and got a round of applause on the walk back.

[Pamplemousse]

Ben Thatcher's challenge v Pompey?

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Mark Dennis had a few acceptable red cards. At least, no-one was going to argue with them...

I love the way that he doesn't complain getting a red and walks off. If that was nowadays, the red card would be brandished and all hell would break loose.

[dan17]

I appreciate its not Saints related but this is one of my all time favourite red cards

 

[david in sweden]

of course there's still one record Victor hasn't got ...

 

......David Prutton's 10 week suspension, but then again he didn't rough up the referee - (more's the pity considering who it was).

 

(sorry for that .....late night humour, I suppose).

Makes me cry with laughter every time I see that one! Absolutely no interest in the ball wahahahaha

interesting to see Bilic (as a player) for WHam, and Iain Dowie .....in his Hammers days....

I was at the Reebok in Bolton to witness one of Benali's fine red cards.

 

Near the dugouts, smashed someone up in the air, walked straight off down the tunnel. Brilliant. I think he (Franny) may of had his arm in a cast at the time too.

 

You think this sort of thing is eradicated from the game, and certainly the football league/prem it has. However, take a trip to a non-league fixture and robust challenges that make you wince are still prevalent.

Agreed. Recently watched a Cambridge United game in L2 and a couple of tackles (especially the ones where you could hear the crunch) made you think "ouch". Still only yellow cards though

[The9]

Franny seems to have made a lot of red card tackles using the entire right side of his body, based on those two clips. Funny to see the applause from the Saints fans in the Fashanu clip.
