Well, no, there is no law of the game that explicitly states a "scissoring action" is automatically seen as a red card offence.

It can be, and has been given, as a red card, agreed, but it's still an interpretation on the part of the referee.

That would be why I said it would be seen as endangering a player which is a red card

Norwich are well into this game could have been 1 up hope it stays the same as this into the second half and then Millwall would have to push to win and will leave gaps .Such is Norwich passing think they could nick 1 on the break

I don't think this is a must win for Millwall, it just makes it so much less likely in terms of trying to catch us if they don't win.

Millwall should be dead and buried already. It will be typical for them to take the lead.

They certainly can play blow teams away and have had some impressive results but use the game we beat them at home, they had 72% possession and I still felt like we controlled the game.

Like us, Boro were fancied to be a playoff team so they’ve had a good season but a couple of things their fans will be wary of is a) losing 6 pointers v teams around them and b) bottling games at home v relegation teams. To Hellberg’s credit, he hasn’t had a preseason with the squad nor a proper summer window to sign his players but he did receive a team that was on a high and so far, has bottled a prime opportunity to get automatic promotion.

Draws v Blackburn x2, Oxford, Leicester and losing to Charlton is literally the gap between us and them this year. Bar Oxford, all games we won at home.

There's a lot of truth in this.

A few slight alterations, such as most fancied us to finish about 8th pre-season, battling for the playoffs, but falling just short, a lot like our last couple of seasons.

The side also wasn't quite on a high when Hellberg rocked up either. We weren't on a low IMHO, but the overriding mood was one of uncertainty.
We'd got off to a good start, but the results had started to slip a little under Edwards, his leaving knocked us for 6. We then won the Brum game more through bullish defiance united against The Rat more than anything, drew against Oxford, then predictably lost to yourselves, before Kim took the reigns.

At the Riverside you absolutely threw everything at us though, it was a better performance than I have seen from anyone against us and I include Ipswich who won twice in that. I expect you would be further down the table had RE stayed in charge.

He hasn't been pushed into the background at all going on matchday footage.

He's generally paying close attention to the game, up and observant on the touchline, making observations and passing them onto Kim, with Hellberg listening to him like the wise old owl.

He hasn't really given interviews or been in the public eye much between games since Hellberg came, but in truth that's the way Adi likes it, the public facing role was never his cup of tea.

I did a double take of your form leading up to our first game and you’re right, it wasn’t as blue sky as first thought.

In that sense, KH has done well to steady the ship but having caught us up, you fans must be disappointed at the run of form since. Losing to us away, given our home form and recent form v us, isn’t shameful. It’s the draws and losses to Blackburn and Millwall that have properly derailed you.

My view most of the season has been that Ipswich would win that crucial tie you two have and therefore, finish 2nd. It’s at risk of becoming a bit easier than expected for Ipswich, particularly if Millwall drop points v Norwich.

Would love Oxford to score, or Portsmouth tbf as a draw is a great result for Lester. Surely they’re guaranteed 3 points today.

You're an observant man, don't mind commenting on YT vids as there tends to be comments from fans of all teams, so I get a more rounded perspective.

Even if the quota of mindless fans is higher on there, but you get more kids commenting on YT than you do on club's forum pages too, which probably tips the balance a bit.
