GorlestonFox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Personally I think it warranted a red. Studs were up. Seen reds for less. Admittedly it wasn't the worst tackle that's ever seen red. But it was a red card tackle Discuss...
Charl91 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Not much to discuss. I think it was a red too, looked like he kicked out to me.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Their player will only miss one game due it being a second yellow.
AKCJ Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Clear red and Clark deserved to go too for his cuntery.
mugshot Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 I didnt think it was a red card until I saw the replay where it looked like his foot went over the ball so can understand why it was given....didnt need the afters though as could have been a yellow without Villas response....glad to see Clark go though
DB11 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 So that leaves us with.... Andy King as the only fit and available central midfielder
nickelbyfox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 studs slightly up - not sure how you can slide like that without them being up and gave the ref a decision to make. Usual sportsmanship in football and the rest is history. Personally think the tackle or barge in the back from Westwood was far more cynical
The Doctor Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Good tackle, clark clearly the aggressor in the hand bags... Should have been the other way round - straight red for clark (if you look, he nuts james as he picks him up) and a yellow for James for his part in the fracas.
mugshot Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 So that leaves us with.... Andy King as the only fit and available central midfielder Drinky was training at end of the week so think he will be fine for Stoke....wondering whether we go to appeal the card so the appeals process means James can play next week possibly?
Guest kristianity77 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Are we likely to have any of the others back by next weekend like Drinky, Cambiasso?
lcfcsnow Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 If Nugent wasn't so thick giving the ball away it'd never have happened.
tripe Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 It was a red card. But a well earned one. Stopped a counter after he lost the ball. There was a little break and the clock practically ran down. Like the guy. Has guts. Need that in the middle.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Thought it was a red for the afters not the actual tacker
DennisNedry Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 If Nugent wasn't so thick giving the ball away it'd never have happened. This. Anyway I haven't seen a replay, but at the time I thought it was a good hard tackle to win the ball, followed by that Villa **** squaring up to James who tried to back away. If that's a red card then the famous Vinnie Jones tackle on Steve McMahon is a red. If that's a red, Steve Walsh would have been suspended every game. Etc etc.
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Was Deffo a red our CM's are looking thin atm
Xen Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Red was justified and as tripe said, it slowed down the game and prevented them pumping the ball back in. No point in appealing. Drinky was back in training towards the end of this week, Hammond only looked like a muscle twinge so I'm guessing he might be available, Cambiasso likewise, King is obviously fit and capable. If it's absolutely necessary, could we see Knocky play centrally, or even Nugent (I know the diamond generlly doesn't work for us, but a 4312 maybe?). We've got options, at least...
GorlestonFox Posted 10 January 2015 Author Posted 10 January 2015 Thought it was a red for the afters not the actual tacker I'd imagine if it was red for afters. Clarke would have got the same. He only received a second yellow, so I'd imagine it was for the challenge.
Cruss5 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Clark went in with is elbow after the James tackle. Straight red for both. I can see why James lost it though because the elbow was just not needed and clark being a prat
glenelgfox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 He was unlucky but on replay deserved a red - we would all scream if it was us on the end of that type of tackle.
ScouseFox Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Had a great game too. Massive loss in the middle.
Richard Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 It was a red card. But a well earned one. Stopped a counter after he lost the ball. There was a little break and the clock practically ran down. Like the guy. Hads guts. Need that in the middle. Spot on.
Nalis Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Why do we need to worry about central midfield when we have GTF?
LCCFox96 Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 He had a great game today but sadly a clear red for me. Frustrating, particularly with Drinkwater and Cambiasso's injuries.
EGBFitness Posted 10 January 2015 Posted 10 January 2015 Did think it was a fair tackle on first viewing but from replay can see that he has committed a strong tackle tacking out their player off the ground with studs. Good to see a committed tackle but unfortunately those days are gone now so defo a red in today's game
