Yorkie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 BUT HE WON THE BALL. So did Tiote at Stevenage, which was a red card all day. Nice link to a completely irrelevant challenge. But in all seriousness, if you go in like that you're susceptible to being penalised by the ref. It can still be classed as dangerous play even if he's won the ball. It was the typical "lose the ball, desperately lunge in with both feet". You'll get booked all day long with that shit and i can't say i disagree. Players get severe injuries from shit like that and it needs to be cut out of the game. Simpson's wasn't as bad as a lot of cases, which is why he saw yellow instead of red.

Mick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 So did Tiote at Stevenage, which was a red card all day. They were two totally different tackles, Simpson went round the player, Tiote went in two footed if I remember right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence yellow and not red. That's how i saw it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VaVaVoom Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Fwiw Simpson shouldnt of been booked. It was a great tackle imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Being booked is not an excuse for bottling a tackle. He didn't react quick enough and then left himself in absolute no mans land. He's not even within 50 yards of it when it goes in because as usual, he's not bothered getting his arse back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection it does look fairly clean there. I was whincing in real-time cos it looked like he was going in with both feet. Might have to hold me hands up on this one.

JH Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 BAN BAN BAN! Nah, he did launch himself in initially in a dangerous way, but the actual challenge for the ball/player was clean IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're not one of those who defended Ryan Taylor earlier in the season when he gave the ball away on our left in roughly the same position which ended up in the back of our net and Simpson got the blame for that.

Numbers Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Caught out of position horribly for the goal, and stuck his hands up before they had even scored....get rid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Tackle or foul; he was abysmal start to finish and has been in several of our recent games. We can't have him as a first team right back long term...especially where Williamson is involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I don't know how a defender, even on a yellow card couldn't block the ball when they were face to face, it's baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The lad was at fault for their goal like. Like some people have said, the yellow card really affected him. He essentially bottled it when it came to challenging Buckley. By doing so, it exposed our right hand side which gave Buckley so much space to run into. Thought he put in a few decent balls today in the first half but really his performance was well below-par (he really did completely trail off as soon as he got that undeserved yellow card).
