Barnsley (A) - Match Thread

[RoboFox]

Never a red that. Got the ball cleanly and caught him with his trailing leg. 

[fazzyfox]

Red card! 
Partly on the ref who has set the threshold high by letting stuff go for 25 mins setting the temperature suggesting anything goes.

Oh and I hope Luke’s OK, looked like a painful one!

[DJ Barry Hammond]

That is a red card - he’s out of control and endangered a player with his follow-through.

 

What happened with the ball is immaterial.

Well that evens up Aluko’s yellow

Not really. That was a blatant yellow. Might have got away with it if he didn't grab him again when the Barnsley player got free.

 

That just looked like a strong challenge

[RichardGearman]

Referee has been dog and has been allowing luca connell to hit in hard like that without warning. Correct decision to send off but he should've set the example earlier. 4 big chances in 22 minutes, love it.

[Spudulike]

He'll try to even this up. Aluko needs to be very careful. Probably will get subbed.

[urban.spaceman]

This commentator can't hide his bias  

[Happy Fox]

Need to go for the jugular.

Wins the ball. But the follow through is absolutely awful. 

It really wasn’t….. after he won the ball he pulled his legs back. Nothing wrong with that challenge, proper hard tackle.

[Monk]

It’s high, maybe on another day another ref he gets away with a yellow but I wasn’t surprised to see the red. 

[Joe90]

That a harsh red 

[Orange seat]

How is that a red card. Modern football’s so shit

[BKLFox]

I remember Vardy getting a very similar red despite getting the ball if you go through the man after 🤷‍♂️

The duality of football fans 😂

[Clever Fox]

We just need Aluko to be extremely careful until half time the namybe change him for Coulibally.

[Rubbersoul]

The ref will be desperate to send Aluko off now. It’s harsh but I’d be tempted to get him off at HT even though he’s played very well 

[Tommy Fresh]

He'll end up sending off Aluko

[MPH]

We have literally hand this game handed to us on a plate…

 

Surely not even a Russel team can throw this one away…

[Richmondfox]

Barnsley fans think the boos will have an impact on his game, the man is immune to them.

[Finnegan]

Commentator desperate for Aluko to get a second yellow. Whole stadium will be tbh. I'd have him off at half time. 

 

[Hinckleyfox]

Tackle was OK. It follow through was high. Sort of decision that wouldn’t be overturned by VAR either way. 

[trabuch]

What a horrible team this is.

[Livid]

That’s the thing in this division they let everything go and then all of a sudden someone gets a red. 

[HoustonFox]

Honestly, I thought the one on Cullen earlier, and also one on Louis Page just after Aluko’s yellow were worse than the red that was given. The one on page just now was pretty bad too. 

[coolhandfox]

Would be looking a Aluko on a booking and think of a sub, don't want to give the excuse to even it up.
