AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thought he deserved a booking, but a sending off would have been very harsh. Both players essentially did the same thing, maybe Perch's foot was a few degrees more vertical. I hate to see deliberate attempts to injure people with lunges, but he wasn't doing that IMO.

Flip Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I thought the other bloke came in with two feet. Never really saw what Whelan did, but from what I remember he didn't lunge with the studs raised like Perch. Lunging with raised studs should be banned, worse than diving ffs. Its just a disgrace.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I thought the other bloke came in with two feet. Yeah i thought so too. He did, but his studs were lower. It was just a question of how many degrees of elevation = no offence vs a booking vs a red card really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a question of how many degrees of elevation = no offence vs a booking vs a red card really. Without having seen it again since(or sober for that matter) was there a chance Perch's higher studs were a result of seeing the two footed challenge coming in? Memory is a bit hazy how fast it happened tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Am I the only person that didn't even think his tackle was a foul? Mick. I didn't think it was a foul either. The Stoke kid came in 2 footed as well. Was a very very harsh booking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory is a bit hazy how fast it happened tbh Not sure TBH, I doubt it. In realtime it looked like a genuine 50/50, which it probably was. The fact that Perch's feet made contact in the way they did was probably just pure chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I've only seen it once but at first viewing at full speed, I thought he was going to walk for it. Players have been getting sent off for less aggressive tackles on a weekly basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Having watched it again last night he does go in with studs up where as the stoke player looks to ho in with studs down. Also worth noting that the refs positioning couldnt really be better. He's even bending in for a closer look. I think yellow was probably right. As others have said as well, very impressed with Mike Dean the referee. Seemed really on the ball, gave himself a few moments before making big decisions and explained those decisions very clearly. http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/1236/vlcsnap2011110212h02m36.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 That picture clearly shows Perch winning the ball cleanly with 1 foot. Genuine 50:50 ball that, very very harsh free kick never mind a harsh booking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It was a good tackle but there is a hint of going over the ball in that pic, hence the ref gives yellow. Still a bit harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Technically he won the ball, but it was a bit dangerous. Slightly silly that the Stoke player did almost the same movement and got away without anything mind, but that seems to be how it always works.

Tisd09 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Some referees would have given him red in my opinion. It was reckless in the sence that he had no control regardless whether he made contact with the ball or not. These days taking the ball is not always enough. Had Perch's foot come off the ball differently then Whelan could have been hurt. Glad it was a yellow, would have been tamping at the time if he'd be sent off, but looking at it with hindsight, the fact that we won and its Perch after all it wouldn't have been wrong to see red. If lesser challenges given reds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 He could have been sent off, but I think he would have been unlucky. He could also have missed Whelan and been hurt himself by the Stoke player's lunge, which was almost the same. He was trying to be committed and battle for the cause, it was a bit reckless but if it wasn't Perch we would probably have stopped talking about it days ago.

durhamunigeordie Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Don't mind him half as much in the centre of the park as I do when he plays at centre back. That's not saying I want to see him anywhere near the side - just that the last couple of cameos have done enough to suggest he is not as much of a liability there. The lesser of two evils if you like. Watching him at play in the middle of defence against Blackburn was embarrassing - him and Simpson were like a footballing version of the chuckle brothers that night.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 That would make sense. The guy is a defesive midfielder who fills in well at right back. He only played in the centre of defence because we exhausted all of our options. Most players struggle outside of their comfort zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
