Ryan_Taylor Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Gerrard won the ball Was a lot worse than Tiote's, unless you're commentating on this game. Gerrard has case for appeal apparently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Rafael's a red? Surely should be according to the "laws of the game" Anyone? It's as bad, in my opinion. He jumped into the challenge. The only thing that saved rafael was the liverpool player jumped out the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Gerrard's was the worse, Tiote was on the floor at the point of contact with the player, Gerrard wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I don't know why some of you are getting so wound up about this. The original discussion was never about whether or not it was obviously worth a red card, just whether or not it will be rescinded. Nothing I've seen or read suggests to me that it will. He jumped in, and with an opposition player in such close proximity that is always going to be deemed reckless. And when it comes to any appeal, that's all that matters.

JH Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Don't see much difference, other than the fact that Gerrard's force was a lot more excessive than Tiote's. Both had feet off the ground, both lunged, both sending offs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 It was hardly a 'lunge' though. It was like he was jumping over a fucking skipping rope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 tbf, if we even dared to cite Liverpool's appeal/Gerrard's tackle, we'd get laughed out of the building. They'll simply say different challenge, different player, different referee. It's completely irrelevant to Tiote's situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I don't know how the procedure works exactly, but I highly doubt the FA considers decisions made by different referees in different games when making their mind up.
