Refs only given that because theres sunderland fans there

Culvert Lewis grabbed hair by mistake in fa Cup final....nothing given

Exactly this. Consistent as ever.

 

[Chop Sauce]

Ballard is an absolute idiot.

 

[IAWASKA07]

I'd rather have Jared Gillett than this twat

 

[dangermows]

Even when winning this place has a collective headloss and plenty of in battles

By mistake is the difference

 

[SAFC Nooey]

There was a fuss specifically about hair-pulling, resulting in a new ruling just over a week ago. Stupid as the ruling is, Ballard will have known about it.

Hair pulling is definitely a red card offence. However, Ballard is holding him off and grabbing his shirt but his hair is long and goes down his back and gets caught in the shirt and hand grip. Ballrd doesn't pull it. It's just shit refereeing/VAR or the shittest rule they've introduced in awhile as you can just have long hair and win fouls all the time now.

We’ve had some soft reds at this ground over the years. Remember the Lino demanding Armstrong and Byrne to be sent off in the 90s?

 

[DaveH]

We just got a free kick for not a lot!

 

[Blyth]

I dont think that effects decision making or passing tbf

I think it massively does. You don’t think players make different decisions, take less risks etc being a man down?

 

[connolly_31]

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

Bang on mate. There isn’t a hair pulling law as well so they are genuinely making it as they go

Yes

 

[gatopreto]

There is absolutely know need to touch a player's hair never mind pull it no matter how slight.

Shirt pulling is pretty standard though, the hair is literally on the shirt

 

[dangermows]

He loses his rag because he gets fouled relentlessly and the refs don’t wanna know. It’s literally every single game and I’m sick to the bastard teeth of it.

Doesn't go down enough. That's his problem.

 

[GipettoCuda]

Chill out everyone, it’s all good

 

[rubberface]

That. Was. f***ing. Horrific.

 

[The soap powder]

1-0 and could be even better if Ballard wasnt so stupid today

No way he will ever get away with that these days

 

[makumstu]

If everyone wore a wig for every minute of every game, I wonder how many times someone would touch it in a season. A red card generator.

Unfortunately, wigs aren't allowed, would have to be a proper stick on hair system

 

[bigmac]

Ref laughing too

 

[Gloucester]

Just seen a Sikh wearing a Wolves coloured turban. Fair play to him.
