Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sunderland AFC 3pm Match Thread

[jarrowdiamond]

Both of these things are an offence FFS

But grabbing a shirt is a yellow card you fool

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

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

I know. Fkn ridiculous .. why do we do this .. so so annoying !

It's a bullshit rule in its current format.
His eyes are always on the ball and he goes to grab shirt.

It should be;

Intentional hair pull a red
Unintentional - free kick
Make all long hair players tie hair up above the shoulder

Wear hair nets!

No doubting who the commentators on my stream want to win. It’s not us.

I'm hoping that the commentator's shed catches fire so the last thing I hear from them is bloodcurdling screams

And how can you read a players mind to determine if it was delivered or not. Footballers cheat like fuck constantly, they will easily come up with a way of pulling hair "accidentally" just like players with long hair will now be cheating in every game pretending their hair has been pulled

 

[SuperSunderland]

Jesus f***ing Christ

We were totally in control and now through his stupidity we are on the back foot - he’s an idiot

 

[Safc19]

There’s going to be some cracking barnets next season. Dreadlocks, mullets, ponytails, the lot.

 

[StayPuft]

So does this mean if someone's long hair catches ya in the face and you go down? Then that's a sending off?

Can't punish one and not the other

 

[dangermows]

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

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

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

Deserved red imo fuckin stupid thing to do, however if we have this rule and thy have long hair they should be made to tie it up IMHO

Stupid thing to do? What’s he meant to do in that situation? Ask him if I remove his hair from the back of his shirt so they can jostle without the possibility of him getting sent off.

Surely they’ve got to prove intent. He’s just grappling for position. It’s a decision made by non footballing people

 

[robbie54]

Whats this ref doing giving Wolves free kicks for f*ck all.

 

[19FTM73]

Does this mean we hate Ballard more than Hume?

Yes, but not as much as onien

 

[LeicesterMackem]

So is that Ballard’s last game for us?

 

[Roker Mackem]

Well done Trai

 

[tim27w]

problem is the shirt is a legitimate pull or at least accepted, however long hair over shirt in the middle of a tackle how can you say its deliberate. Its an easy red card like the keeper is an easy timeout. I expect dark arts teams to have extensions over the summer break

 

[daventry cat]

Ballard very hard done by, booking at the most

Not in the current climate

 

[Shandy drinker]

Alderete didn’t touch the fanny

We talking about head hair?

 

[bozwellboyce]

Not a straight red though is it?

depends, deliberate foul in on goal it is. In the box a penalty. Simple really, keep your hands down. To be honest there's too much cheating in the game as well as too much feigning fouls and injuries, it all needs clamping down on. Silly mistake/decision from Ballard.

 

[Entiae]

Both of these things are an offence FFS

Yeah, this argument makes no sense.
Grabbing is a foul.
The severity depends on what you grab. Like.. it ain't that complicated.

That the refs don't call enough fouls is a seperate issue.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Our passing is dreadful.
