They killed us off on the break when we had to commit more men forward. On the break with minus one man. Of course it had a huge impact. We were up against a well organised Spurs team but to have 10 men in any football game due to a shocking decision is going go significantly against your favour.

Verbal Kint Posted 28 December, 2016 Share Posted 28 December, 2016 Has the law been changed so that it isn't a red card if outside the area? That wasn't my interpretation of the rule change, simply that if there was a genuine attempt to play the ball (clearly not the case with Redmond pulling him back) then it should only be a yellow. A free kick and red card would have been correct if I have the right interpretation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A free kick and red card would have been correct if I have the right interpretation You are half right. A genuine attempt at the ball that results in a penalty is a yellow card. A foul denying a clear goal scoring opportunity, whether making a genuine attempt at the ball or not , outside of the area , is a red. The thinking is that a penalty is a genuine goal scoring opportunity , so one has not been denied, it is still one against one . A free kick outside the area is not one against one , so is not a clear goal scoring opportunity , so one has been denied. Therefore, had Dean blown for the initial contact outside of the box, it would have been a red anyway as there was no covering player. As he gave a red and a penalty he obviously felt that Redmond didn't make a genuine attempt at the ball. Had he thought Redmond genuinely went for the ball it would have been a yellow. I'm sure all the people moaning would be going nuts if we were denied a penalty in the same situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintwbu Posted 28 December, 2016 Share Posted 28 December, 2016 People are misinterpreting the rule change, but the eventual decision was still as far wrong as it could've been. There was barely any, if any, contact made on Dele Alli in the box, it was not a penalty. It was possibly a foul outside the box when Redmond pulled his arm, which possibly would have warranted a red as it wasn't a genuine attempt to play the ball, but that contact ended a good half a yard before they entered the box, so he deemed it not a foul. Just awful all round. Whether we'd have won had he not made such a terrible error, probably not, but anyone who thinks a red card at 2-1 doesn't affect a game is absolutely dangerously mental, and anyone who says you can't blame a referee for losing a game is just as much.

Saint Albert Posted 28 December, 2016 Share Posted 28 December, 2016 After going back and forth on this on the match reaction thread, it was not a red card because the grab occurred outside the box and it patently did not deny a goal scoring opportunity because Ali continued into the penalty area and had a goal scoring opportunity.

supersonic Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 The red card didn't really change the game. yes we've had some bad decisions made against us, but we've had a fair few go our way too. Not a penalty in my eyes (free kick though) and the Red was harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 I am pleased that Dean gave the penalty. We will never defeat the cancer of diving if referees don't start giving fouls when players stay on their feet (and I know that Alli is a diving cheat 99% of the time). If someone gets fouled immediately after taking a shot, you very rarely see a penalty given; if it's after playing a pass, you always see a free-kick awarded.

benjii Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 (edited) Saints not appealing the red card ! Quite rightly. The red card was the correct decision given that a foul occurred. I don't think we have any grounds to appeal. The penalty was incorrect but you can't appeal that. The only way the red card is "wrong" is if you say that Dean let them have advantage and shouldn't have brought play back. ie. advantage was over by the time Alli missed. That's actually what most refs would have done, IMO, but he's a "look at me ref" and was clearly quite chuffed to be giving the penalty. But, again, I don't think you can appeal that. And I doubt Redmond would have started against WBA anyway. Edited 29 December, 2016 by benjii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 I haven't had the chance to see it on the box yet, only from the view I had from the Northam stand (to be fair I am towards the back, was slightly drunk and wasn't wearing my glasses). But it looked very harsh. To be honest I'm not that interested in a forensic examination of the rules - If the situation was reversed and it was a Spurs defender doing the same to a Saints attacker at WHL then I expect it could happen 100 times, watched by 100 different refs and we would be lucky if we got a free-kick on the edge of the area and the defender a yellow.

doddisalegend Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 The issue is, as someone else posted, there is no consistency I've seen plenty of saints players suffer far worse than the minimal contact the spurs player suffered last night and been given **** all ( or worse booked for diving) it feels like refs just make it up half the time. Considering the spurs player easily made it in to the box and was still able to shoot despite Redmond's contact makes it a soft one for me if refs are going to enforce that I expect a lot more penos and sending's off in the second half of the season. I'm willing to bet if it had been the other way round Dean would have given nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise advantage would have been over and he wouldn't have blown the whistle. In the context of the decision he made the red card was correct. Whether it was the right decision or not is a different matter (obviously it wasn't) but you can't really appeal that - you appeal the application of the law. And it will just be a one match suspension, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our next two games, both opponents will have enjoyed more rest than Saints - WBA considerably more, and Everton one day more. According to the account I read, there was no retroactive action against Vertonghen because the panel could not agree on whether he intended to scratch his opponent in the eye.

Nordic Saint Posted 30 December, 2016 Share Posted 30 December, 2016 Dodgy refereeing decisions are always going to go the away team's way at the Northam end. The initial reaction of the crowd behind the goal has a big influence on refs in 50/50 decisions. Nearly a minute of 3,00o Spurs fans baying for blood finally made up Dean's mind to award a red card. It would be interesting to see a statistical breakdown of how many penalties and red and yellow cards go the away team's way at the Northam end. At least at the Chapel end, although there will be almost no crowd reaction at all, it doesn't favour the away team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
