sbnufc Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The rules are a complete joke as obvious a ban as anything else you will see this season. yep not complaining like. Would be raging if it was a Cardiff player tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think the Ref only giving Arter a yellow for a worse kick has saved him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Already transferred him out of my fantasy team. Can't play the next game (v Chelsea) anyway. Would have been interesting to see if that game would have counted for any ban. Won't get to find out thankfully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think the Ref only giving Arter a yellow for a worse kick has saved him. Not sure like, Arter’s was at least a tackle. Kenedy’s was just violent conduct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMcQuillan Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I know this type of thing happens a lot, but it's the first time I've actually seen it favour us. Normally you'll find a passing seagull which interfered with the referee's eyesight, so even though Mitrovic was booked, it gets upgraded to a four match ban. With an extra match for the hassle of having to look at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Good news. Even if he was banned, he really only would've missed Man City away, as Chelsea counted despite that he's ineligible for it and I doubt he would've played against Forest. Happy days though.

Crumpy Gunt Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Should have been off. But ref gave a free kick so was never going to be retrospective action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenedy’s was just violent conduct. Arter’s wasn’t a tackle it was a full blooded kick with the sole intention of bringing the player down. To be a tackle he’d have to at least try and challenge the ball. Kenedy’s kick out was petty and petulant (and should have been a red) Arter’s was professional, dangerous and excessive force.

You know what I mean though, it was a bad challenge and probably a red, but at least in the form of a tackle. Kenedy just kicked a bloke off the ball. Anyway, good news for his confidence probably, should be a relief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It was a horrific performance where every aspect of the basics failed on his part (touch, control, awareness, passing, dribbling, tricks, all failed repeatedly with no attempt to adjust), but you'd hope he'll learn that he can't always turn up and dribble/trick every team easily. Needs to mix it up, play a basic game sometimes and keep teams guessing as to when he's going to try something. To be honest, and this is the pessimistic side of me, it was the type of performance that does make me a little worried. This is NUFC and given our bad luck being pessimistic is often the more reliable stance. Without Kenedy last season we'd probably have been down near the bottom 3, as the only other consistent source of creativity/"making things happen" was a Shelvey ball over the top, which is rendered a bit moot with the standard our striking options and can be easy to defend against if it's the only gameplan. Due to not bringing Townsend in we've sort of put all our eggs in one basket for this season with Kenedy in terms of having a bit of pace + quality + unpredictability/drive on the ball - Ritchie is non-existent in this regard (did literally nothing good against Cardiff too), and Atsu/Murphy aren't good enough at this level. The worry therefore is that this was the kind of performance that could really dent a players belief and self-confidence. We've seen players go downhill rapidly due to losing confidence or self-belief (Viana, Tomasson and Cisse spring to mind), and the truth is Kenedy is not truly established at PL level (could just have been a purple patch for all we know) so we don't know how stable that confidence is over the long term should he hit poor form. Can he bounce back? Not all players do. It would be just our luck to see a permanent dip in form with Kenedy so we're back to being a very one dimensional team where the only bit of consistent quality on the ball is Shelvey. Hopefully this is all bollocks though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Should have been off. But ref gave a free kick so was never going to be retrospective action. There was a foul before he kicked out though. Could have been viewed as two separate instances. Surprised this hasn’t been punished! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ref missed it and is just bullshitting/saving face saying that he saw it. He also corrected his mistake in-game by sending Hayden off, so probably felt he had done enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I’m guessing the Chelsea game wouldn’t have counted? Otherwise teams could start looking at the fixture list, almost encourage a player late in the game to take one for the team if needed and not really have much of a punishment.
