Ross on the Red

Griezmann has just slid in both feet, out of control, yellow card
 
All about opinions, but I really disagree here. So is he not meant to tackle anyone again in case ref makes a bad decision? Very harsh red that today, I'm not even convinced it was a yellow, but probably one that could go either way on a booking. No way was it a red card. Turning into a none contact sport this. Ball was there to challenge for and aye mis timed, but that's it.

I’ve changed my mind after seeing the replays a few times. If anyone should have been off, it was the Walsall player.
 
Exactly. When did two players competing for the ball mean an automatic red for the one who doesn't get theee first?



Exactly. Mis-timed by a split second.
He isn't out of control of his movement, he isn't off the ground, he isn't high and it isn't violent so how in God's name is that a straight red? It's two players copeting for the same ball, nothing more.

What's worse is their player took ours out from behind on the half way line after hat and didn't even get booked. Ref was a joke and should get sacked.
 
Look at the reaction of several of their players after the card is given. They go up to Power and console him.

Is that the reaction of a side who have just had a player rightly sent off against them?
 
You just haven't played enough of the game to know the difference. Its quite obvious he's chasing the ball from his poor first touch. The lads got problems and it needs addressing.....to Max Power. Whether its considered a red or not by SAFC staff or supporters does not matter, 3 reds in what 6/8 games means there's a big problem.
Agree mate, iffy red, but why is this guy finding himself in these 50/50 situations... The point that makes me think this won't be over turned is the fact that their man gets the ball and Max comes in well late.
 
You could argue that the Walsall lad followed through on Power after siding in for the ball.
I don’t think it was a red card but I can’t see it being overturned.
 
Didn't even think it was a yellow.
Max was beaten to the ball because the Walsall players lunges off the floor to get their first and caused his own injury.
it's a foul but if power gets to the ball first he potentially gets his leg broken.
ridiculous sending off
 
Its not about luck its about decision making. This lads is very very suspect, he should never have put himself in that position, the balls going away from him he's lost the ball.......front it up is the way to go not what he did. If you say you've played this game and you cannot see he's got problems with three reds in a handfull of games, sorry but I can't help you.
Is this just a really poor attempt at a wind up?

Powers a tit for having his studs up but i think he's been unlucky so far.
He's getting stuck in and would be getting stick for not putting an effort in.

We move on and hopefully keep the momentum going. Power's past disciplinary record goes against what we're seeing so hopefully thats the last red and we push on to win the title with him after new year.
I think this is utterly bizarre, I must have seen a different tackle to others, his foot was flat and studs at no time "showing"

Are you f***ing dumb? The Walsall player lunged in 2 footed and power did nothing. If anything the Walsall player should have got sent off. Ridiculous decision followed by numerous more after. The worst refereeing display ive ever seen.
Had the craic with a Walsall fan in the pub after he said he was convinced the ref was sending off their player, couldn't believe Power got sent off.

I’m disappointed in Ross here and if this is his attitude then it’s not surprising that Power is the way he is. I hope they’re not silly enough to contest the suspension.

I have seen the clip of his sending off a few times now, i think its a red card, i think the referee got it right. just my opinion.
 
So what that they had a plan to get someone sent off. He shouldn’t have been stupid enough to give the ref the choice in the first place.

3 red cards in 7 games, banned for almost quarter of the season and he hasn’t even been here 4 months. He’s a f***ing liability.

THIS - apart from THIS he's a good player
 
Won't get overturned because the ref won't admit to getting it wrong. Only chance you've got really. Think Ross is trying to play mind games & put the pressure on because he can't afford to lose Power after losing McGeough and Cattermole
 
After seeing it back it doesn't look a red. I know we only get one zoomed out camera angle, but I genuinely can't even see where his studs touch the Walsall player. Said it before but it should have been the Walsall player gone. 1 yellow for the reckless lunge, and 1 for the playacting afterwards.
