Guess it's Sheff Utd through to the final now. Crap.

Defo a red for me, only made an attempt for the ball after the foul.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Same ref that sent JDS off at Luton

I double-checked aswell

 

[SomersetSB]

Deffo ref got it right, I mean look at our red for JDS!!

 

[clint van damme]

This isn't over.

 

[theferret]

The rule is a nonsense anyway. The 'professional foul' red card rule was introduced to punish those who deny a clear goal scoring opportunity. If you get a penalty, you get another clear goal scoring opportunity. Makes no sense even without the genuine attempt for the ball stuff.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Actually got the ball didn't he?

Yes. After he’d dragged Moore to the floor.

 

[Alkhen]

Hope Sheff don't rack up a healthy lead. Need the 2nd leg to still mean something. Don't want them to be able to take it easy

 

[mark82]

Have to say, Kiefer Moore really makes the most of that (not that it's less of a foul).

 

[ovduk78]

Read the rules on double jeopardy. A "genuine" attempt to play the ball. He's hooked his leg around him.and won the ball. I'm not arguing a pen. Clear as mud the penalty, but it's a yellow NOT a red

The 1st foul is Dickie pulling him back, the fact he then kicked the ball afterwards is irrelevant

Unlikely to win so hopefully they just spend the rest of the two legs kicking the absolute shit out of them

 

[mark82]

Yes. After he’d dragged Moore to the floor.

Catch up BSB. Said that after I'd seen the replay.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Shame, because Bristol City were looking competitive.

They were creating nothing.

nah, all part of the same movement

The ref knows that rule very well it seems and plays it to the letter. We have to be careful.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Whatever happens in our games, I really hope none of our players do something as brain dead as that.

What a fucking way to throw away a playoff game.

Should dig in now. Don't go chasing it, take a 1nil defeat and go again 11 v 11 in the second leg.

A ‘genuine attempt’ he’s shat himself and pulled him back….then gone for the ball.

 

[mark82]

This isn't over.

Disagree.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Catch up BSB. Said that after I'd seen the replay.

Sorry buddy, thread’s exploded

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Most blatant red ever

 

[David O'Day]

you were right first time

 

[jordan210]

In Langford last 4 matches he has shown 4 reds

in his last 2 matches In charge of bristol he has shown 3 reds

Probably came closest with the shot that hit the bar.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Yes, mainly injure Hamer and make sure his season is over.

 

[ovduk78]

No it isn't, it is a pull back and then a kick of the ball. If he doesn't kick the ball it is still a penalty and a red csrd

 

[Alkhen]

Stupid from Dickie, was never going to make that challenge cleanly. I guess he couldn't just watch them score but would have been smarter as the damage was gone by the trough ball

 

[AJB1983]

I think clearly it’s a pen, but the red card not necessary.
He’s very red happy that ref - not really even Dasilva the other day but Walsh probably shouldn’t have been a straight red.

ruined the game though hasn’t he?

also worth noting how he dealt with the players (and in our game). Basically told them to fuck off. Not like Atwell who was talking to them and gave them respect.

 

[David O'Day]

In Langford last 4 matches he has shown 4 reds

in his last 2 matches In charge of bristol he has shown 3 reds

He's a shite ref

 

[Gleneagles65]

It was meant to be. Beat the Blades in the final.

 

[David O'Day]

No it isn't, it is a pull back and then a kick of the ball. If he doesn't kick the ball it is still a penalty and a red csrd

cool, you've the right to be wrong

 

[Macca]

Always felt that if we were to win the playoffs we'd have to beat Sheffield United

I genuinely think us winning these play offs would be 1987 territory. Would be an extraordinary achievement to get through and then beat Sheff Utd. Would feel similar about our chances of beating them as I did against Spurs that day

 

[Evo1883]

Yea its a red now after seeing replays from other angles.. shame really as Bristol will probably have to try and defend a 1-0 now

 

[Otis]

Exactly this. Pulling the player back isn't a genuine attempt to get the ball.

Clear red unfortunately.

 

[ovduk78]

As are you and most on here seem to think the referee got it right
