Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sunderland AFC 3pm Match Thread

Does this mean we hate Ballard more than Hume?

 

[DJ Doubt]

He's grabbed a bit of his shirt and a bit of his hair, that can't be a sending off man

Both of these things are an offence FFS

 

[Hongkongphooey]

He is back in position now

I was trying to be kind

God forbid I enjoyed watching this match. From a comfortable front foot attacking display to 65 mins of 10 men v wolves.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Went to grab his shirt, clearly. The fact his hair is there is because it’s long. If it wasn’t, he’s grabbing shirt. The law is not even in the f***ing book and they’re making it up as they go along. Stupid

I presumed from the commentary it was done petulantly and deliberately. Having seen the clip, I'm amazed a referee can look back at that and say it's violent conduct. But this is the clown on VAR last week for Mukiele's "foul"

 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

Ballards absolute Brain Fart has spoiled the game for us now

Jesus f***ing Christ

 

[hank williams]

What a ball by xhaka that was

O'nien still top

 

[Zombie]

This is all part of an elaborate Pantene partnership, I just know it

 

[summaz]

I'd genuinely have the players wear hair extensions if we're going to have this skinny virgin refereeing in future PL games

 

[Roker Mackem]

Apparently Wolves fans were singing fuck VAR and is this football any more

 

[Ayrton]

Is this co comm from wolves tv, I refuse to believe he can be this f***ing useless impartially

 

[hypersonic]

Stupid thing is, players with long hair will try and use it to their advantage now to encourage red cards

Going to see players running around with velcro hair, trying to catch it in stuff

 

[phil]

exactly...if your hair is covering part of the uniform, then it should be considered part of the uniform.


rule needs to be fixed, there's a clear way to abuse it. just have your players grow their hair out to cover their backs

Brobbey should wear a wig with 2 foot long dreads, 3 sendings offs a game against him!

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Solution here is make lads with long hair wear hats

All players should have their heads shaved and clean shaving.

 

[McGregor]

I don’t remember lads pulling other lads hair in the 70s and most lads had long hair then

Aye but I bet when it got physical long hair was touched and sometimes accidental. The game is monumentally fucked

 

[houst69]

Alderete didn’t touch the fanny

 

[GipseT]

Shirt pulling is punishable too….just don’t do either.

Problem is they allow it 99% of the time so they need to do it

.wasnt his fault. VAR told him what to do

 

[Binxy]

If you grab someone's shirt is it an automatic red - no
Arm - no
Shorts - no
Leg - no
Sock - no
Ballsack - no
Where is the rule for hair - there isn't one.

You can't even be 100% certain he deliberately grabbed his hair.
Ridiculous decision.
