sunderland 1 - 1 Newcastle United - 21/10/12 - post-match reaction from page 39

not a single mention of Larrsons chest kick :facepalm:

 

why is that being collectively being ignored

This being ignored is even worse that agreeing that Tiote should have been sent off imo.

Honestly, it's days like this when you see pundit after pundit and ex-player after ex-player call it a red that I wonder what the fuck is going on in football. Red cards are for dangerous play not trying to kick a football and not even knowing where the opposition player is, I'm not going to stop being pissed off about that decision and many others today for some time.

There's simply no way that you can justify the Tiote red when Larsson's high kick to the chest didn't even warrant a yellow. Refereeing is supposed to be consistent and fair. Predictably no mention of the Larsson 'tackle' on Match of the Day.

think this is a valid point- fletcher came in so fast from out of tiotes view- theres every chance of a poor mis-timed attempt at the ball catching him.

I think when you view the Tiote incident in isolation, it's touch and go.  If it was Cattermole on Cabaye, we'd be complaining it wasn't a red.  I think it's a yellow, definitely.

 

But if Tiote's is a red then the kick on Ameobi is a a minimum yellow, if not red, as has been said on here.

 

Hopefully the intensity with which we played in the first half pre-red card can be carried into our next games.  We'll need it against West Brom.

Well, it looked to me like Tiote deliberately kicked him. He gets these rushes of the blood to the head most games, and refs may now be looking out for it.

Not a chance. Watch the replays.

I wouldn't argue with a yellow, but some of the shit that I have heard to justify the red. Nonsense about it being a leg breaker, it wasn't a leg breaker in a million years. It was "over the ball", what? He went to kick the ball and it got nicked away. "Studs showing", again, what does that mean? If you swing your foot at a ball to kick it your studs will show sometimes, but even then in this scenario it was more the side of his foot that hit Fletchers shin-pad.

I can see why the ref thinks it was a dangerous challenge, but I don't agree with it though.

 

There has been an argument about Tiote carrying on with the 'challenge' after the whistle had gone and that he should have stopped. If that is valid, then why did Fletcher carry on with his 'challenge/clearance' after the whistle? The reason is that both were committed to getting the ball - nothing else, and the time from whistle to challenge was far too small imo.

The red card is 50/50 imo, though on 1st viewing in real again on MOTD2 it looked nothing imo, but why the fuck is Tiote putting himself into such a situation in the 1st place.

 

We would have won easily with 11v11 never seen us control a derby so much for the 1st 45 mins in a long time.

 

Atkinson is probably the biggest homer of a referee you can get, biased cunt that he is.

 

Sunderland are dog shite and in a relegation battle easily and they shouldn't have sacked Bruce on that evidence.
