England’s Anthony Gordon


Recommended Posts

Didn't think it should be a red, but can absolutely understand why it was a red and there's absolutely zero chance of it getting overturned and you're mad if you think otherwise. It is what it is.

Smarmy bastard that Van Hecke mind, he knew exactly what he was doing.


I thought he, alongside many in their team, were utter cunts all day. Fouling constantly and obstructing off the ball.  
 

Baleba should have got a second yellow too. He pulled Tino in the second half but Tino didnt go down. Convinced if he does he gets booked again.

Oh aye. Absolutely bewildered why that wasn’t a yellow either

 

Was fucking shocking that actually. Gutted to be reminded.

I hope we do appeal it, even if its not overturned/reduced. We just seem to sit back and accept these things (like the Schar one).

Its time we stood up for ourselves/players and at least tried to get something back/done.

 

We did appeal the Schar one, didn't we?

The appeal board will be well aware which fixtures/teams rescinding the red would affect.

He's got absolutely no chance.

If they move on Luis Diaz this summer I fully expect them to go back in for him also

 

They can have him, he's doing my tits in this season.

That was the exact same challenge that Big Jo got booked for in the first half.

 

Lamptey could have had 3 yellow cards before he got his second too!

My gripe with it all is how can yellow cards be confined to the FA Cup, and be FA Cup specific in regard to suspensions.  Yet reds apply to all competitions, that's just complete nonsense, and incredibly unfair.

Yeah, makes no sense, half the time fans don't even know what's going on. 

 

Penalties for red cards are way too harsh in general IMO. Especially when violent conduct is used for things that aren't violent.

Absolutely incredulous that wasn’t a booking. Mitoma getting a free kick after he fell over and tripped Dan Burn another highlight.

There was a moment early in the game where we won a free kick and their player approached KT with the ball and threw it over his head. It’s as blatant as can be in terms of kicking or throwing the ball away, it should be a yellow card. Ref wasn’t interested. He let the Brighton team know at that point they could get away with niggly shit housing like that all day. It’s quite something when a ref has given you a penalty and a sending off for the other team and it was an all time shit ref performance. Rarely seen anything like it.

Someone kicked it into the stands and got away with it as well, just down by the Milburn/Gallowgate corner.

Yeah that was late on, kneed it away IIRC. Totally enabled by the early message the ref sent.

Why have we become a soft touch though?

 

It's almost like everyone else in the league took a bit of our blueprint for being a bit niggly, and we have just abandoned it and just sit licking our wounds?

 

The ref and opposing team had already set the stall out, why are we not playing the same game?

It was more noticeable and blatant that day. But Bournemouth was similar. We never tried to join the party and just let them do it. 
 

Is it only Arsenal we shithouse now?! :lol:

It's a recurring theme unfortunately, intensity is certainly not our identity currently.

 

They all seem incapable of putting in a proper challenge, resulting in us always coming off second in challenges/losing it in risky positions. I was trying my hardest to get behind them yesterday but found my head in my hands at the end of that game when barely any of them could get a foot on the ball, just feels so basic [emoji38]

 

Not that it matters, we are brain dead when it comes to having possession and making it count.

Not surprised we are thinking about it. Thought it was a yellow personally. Red if in his face but yellow for back of head.
