First FL gets a red card and was out against out match vs Hull. I just learned Joe Edwards picked up a red card today. Guess he will be out for our match against Plymouth. By the way Joe Edwards is the Plymouth captain (not our asst coach ;)).

Will that get overturned? I mean…I know it should but I really don’t know what the rules are any more. Just make it up as they go along.

The ban will probably stand as there's only 72 hours between games.
And whatever happens the result won't change.

The FL will back the ref rather than have the bollocks to admit he made a mistake.

It's crazy when you think how much that decision could potentially cost Plymouth financially.

was the ref conned like with Godden, maybe the 'Boro player will get a ban like Godden? Has anyone else since had a ban like Godden???

It was a terrible decision but there was contact so it’s not a dive

Holding pushing or pulling yep but he’s not really done any of those as he

It depends how the ref saw it, he has got it wrong, but he clearly thought it was a push and he was through on goal. So ref gives a pen for the push and then has no option but to give the red card.

I watched, slowed down, paused the replay and it’s hard to tell for sure but while everyone’s watching the defender’s hand it looks like he he might have clipped his ankle.

Not surprised; Keith Hackett has said it was the right call, so Plymouth likely knew there was no point.

It’s a joke, an absolute referee’s union. Make a shit decision, but know you’ll be backed 99.9% of the time.

But once a player puts his hand on a player and pushes him it is open to interpretation as to how hard it was and whether it was enough to send him to the floor.

It is a risk players are prepared to take every game all over the pitch

Its not a non contact sport.

I didn't say it wasn't, but if you push an opponent you are asking the ref to make a decision.
