Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sunderland AFC 3pm Match Thread

[McGregor]

Are you suggesting they can manipulate a player into grabbing their hair?

No mate. I'm not.

 

[Chewit]

Moron

Players should be forced to tie their hair up. There is so much grappling going and players trying to retain balance that grabbing hanging hair is bound to happen inadvertently.,

 

[Roker Mackem]

Reckon some of ours could get away with a wig?

If it comes off into the hand its clear proof

 

[Mnemonic]

grabbing shirt isn't allowed either

Aye, but it’s not a red card.

Also, teams would have being playing with 6 reds given how much Brobbey has been pulled around

 

[bozwellboyce]

Was their player through on goal?

Seems a lot on here are trying to justify football turning into tag rugby.

I didn't say he was, I said pulling shirts wasn't allowed. Bottom line, like it or not, silly decision by Ballard and he got a red card

 

[summaz]

Have we had 4 players sent off here?

 

[Ayrton]

Allowed to head butt but god forbid you handle some dreads

 

[Houghtoner]

Could get overturned

How when it’s a rule and someone was sent off for it the other week? We can all disagree about it being a red card but not like we and the players know anyone is at risk if they do it.

 

[rivethead1970]

We need to get one of their players sent off. Time for the dark arts.

 

[hypersonic]

Given that the PL had just come out and said that hair pulling should be punished; how much do you think it was in the strikers mind to make the most of it?

 

[zebediah]

Okoku is a moron, studs up is fine by him, but Ballard assaulted Tolu.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Is that not a booking!’ Studs up!!

 

[dangermows]

Are you suggesting it’s impossible to accidentally grab someone’s hair when aiming for their shirt/back/shoulder etc. (not red card offences)

No. Definitely not. Never once said that.

Now that was easily cleared up back to the point I commented on, which is a suggestion players with long hair will now somehow manipulate a sending off by deliberately getting a player to grab it.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Place would have imploded if that was Onion

It did implode

 

[Scotty 1978]

how is that not a yellow card

 

[HettonSAFC]

If we score more than Wolves we will win this, imo.

How do get that conclusion

 

[Smartin]

American football has the right idea, any hair extending beyond the helmet is deemed part of the uniform and is fair game.

 

[houst69]

That was a red

 

[hypersonic]

That's a stamp on Hume by the way.

Cowards way to go into a tackle. But not even looked at.

 

[flanny1]

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

They’re both holding on to each other, both watching the ball. Nothing deliberate, the other players long hair just gets in the way. How anyone can watch that and think it’s a foul is beyond me
