Fabian Schär

[Zero]

That’s not a secret that Schar, Bruno and Joe are relatively easy to be triggered. It’s planned. Before the Schar incident I felt that they were trying to trigger Bruno.

 

Would be a big miss. Fortunately looks like Kelly is quality.

My favourite bit from today apart from the whistle at the end and the goal, was Sean longstaff becoming a god for absolutely bulldozing that Neanderthal into row Z and everybody in the milburn celebrating it like a goal. If schar was watching he'd probably have celebrated that in the same way. Terrible injustice when a cheat is rewarded especially when the cheat has first exhibited violent behaviour.

I don't care what the rules say, it is the referees responsibility to control the game and he couldn't. He wasn't quick enough to deal with incident's, he was just strolling around allowing players to provoke further skirmishes

Embarrassing that some people on here thought that's a red

[kocunar]

In my opinion Diaz should get two yellows, one for the shove and one for the dive. 

 

Schar shouldnt have gotten anything. 

[Guest]

Seen it for the first time. Only thing that goes slightly against Schar is he's the one that approaches Brereton. Every right to be pissed off for the shove but should know better.

 

Agree with @kocunarin that you could easily give Brereton a second yellow for playacting too. 

[Rich]

If they both get yellows it never gets talked about again. Woeful refereeing from a woeful referee, who brought the entire situation on with his lack of control of the game and his lack of control of the moments leading up to the flashpoint.

Hes a fucking useless referee isn’t he. Never ever has control of games so these situations happen.

It would barely make the MoTD highlights.   Not one commentator would be saying he was lucky to avoid a red

Still pisses me off so much Diazs charge on Schär. It's such a fucking cunts move, the whistle had gone ages before it.

Found that baffling by Shearer. Points out they both did it. Then his conclusion was the right decision had been made. 

It felt like he was quite careful and deliberate in his wording. I'm sure he said he thought it was a red whilst pointing out that Diaz head moved forward too, leading you to join the dots on what he thought the overall decision should have been.

I saw this after 2 replays at the time. What the fuck is the point in VAR if it doesn’t pick stuff like this up?

He didn't even get booked for it, did he? It was appalling; completely charged him over whilst he was blindsided.

[GeordieToon]

Eddie should fine Schar a couple of weeks wages for being a complete Richard.

You can't lead with the heed then look surprised when you get sent off, regardless of how bad the decision was.

But Diaz should also consider  joining his local theatre to further his acting career, what a cheating melt.

I think we're getting caught between what we now accept and what is a red card. What was more violent,  the shove from Brereton Diaz, after the ball was already dead or Schar pushing his head into the others, don't call it a headbutt, it wasn't ? But now "thats a red" why ? Under which rule, if that was the level of violent conduct necessary for a red then 4 or 5 should have been sent off in the resulting melee.

 

If Schar hadn't reacted, then Diaz would have been the one in the spotlight - although I agree that sort of violence seems to get overlooked in football for some reason. Schar just got played and he has put us in a bad situation with this 3 game ban.

100%. Diaz charges it Fabs in the back after the whistle - and Fabs looks shocked as he wasn't expecting it.  That in itself is a yellow for me to Diaz, then when he charges at Fab (and it's 50:50) that's another yellow for Diaz (now a Red) and a yellow of Fab.  The wrong person got sent off.

Schar shouldnt have gotten anything. 

 

And a red for moving his head, apparently. 2 yellows and a direct red on top of it.

[Cf]

Yellow card for Diaz for taking a player out after the whistle has gone. 

 

Yellow card for Schar for squaring up to a player. 

 

Yellow card for Diaz for squaring up to a player. Potentially a red card for initiating head contact. 

 

Yellow card for Diaz for simulation. 

 

Given the footage of Diaz actually initiating the contact id be amazed if we don't appeal and get this overturned. I'd want an explanation for why VAR didn't sort it out too. 

[Tiresias]

its mad that diaz can shove schar over well after the whistle and that isn't considered violent conduct and that head movement is. I hate to use the phrase common sense but some surely has to be used here. 

[Colos Short and Curlies]

Just caught up on the highlights.

 

absolute joke, it’s been said already but it’s absolutely 2 yellows or 2 reds, common sense would be to book them both and carry on.

[Holloway]

The abuse Diaz got for the rest of his pitch time was heartwarming, scruffy looking cunt 

[Displayname]

Got so say that in the art of being a slimy cunt, Diaz did it beatifully. First "mistakenly" pushing him, acting like he thought the ball was still in play. Then him actually initiating the head contact without anyone noticing in it real time. 

Cant really credit him for being born slimy looking, but still..

 

10/10.

It's not just mad, it shows how stupidly the laws are applied. That shove was hard enough to knock Schar over, it could easily be termed assault. I don't see why putting hands on a player face to face is a sending off offence, but when you charge him from behind it's because football is a contact sport.
