I do t want to retread old ground and repeat comments already made too much so just a few thoughts. - Venting on here helps. Getting it straight in your mind and out of your system is a valid response to a highly challenging situation. - Games like this happen occasionally. Good you were in...

A reverse angle on this is the clincher I think. Hard to judge the point of contact accurately- but can guess at it well enough. But from the 180 degree angle I’d imagine it looked nasty.

Need to look that up. Seen several DOGSO that early but never one of these

3 questions: When was:the last time you saw 2 reds for the same side in the first half? Have you ever seen 2 red cards in the first 25 minutes, to the same team? Have you ever seen a SFP red card 3 minutes in? I picked the right game to watch.

I read the OP as someone upset at the comment and wondering what to do next. I’m trying to work that thought process through and enable the poster to develop a strategy to handle that. By going over it, we eliminate those things that with experience we really know don’t matter, and hopefully...

On field only real taking point so far is the Gravenberch red card. I can understand pundit position, as when taken in isolation the challenges aren’t necessarily a caution. But that ignores the broader context, the second caution especially. That’s a nailed on breaking up a promising attack...

Sarcasm and cynicism help here sometimes, in terms of brushing it off. But take it one step further, and break it down for any learning you can take. You missed an offside - allegedly. What was the score at this stage? Was the game close? Did the team crumble after this having been in it...

Betancur sold that POUNCE!.. I mean push, like a pro. RevPro, CMLL, or TNA will be on the phone to offer him a contract! ^ This is me applying the same logic as Shaw milking the head contact.Nowhere near enough force to send him flying like that, so definitely milked it. I’m happy with the...

I agree on it being harsh and it wasn’t immediately obvious in real time ( watching highlights this morning). The reverse angle is the best one - not the one obscured by the net. The ball would’ve likely gone in so I’m guessing it’s been considered an accidental DOGSO? Good intervention to...

To a degree possibly, but I don’t think the suggestion of “giving City an advantage” is the right way to look at it. It’s not the Calciopoli scenario. This concerns illegal payments within the club. Swindon were busted for this sort of thing (different scale) in the late 1990s but still...

Separate threads merged. If posts seem out of sync that’s why.

Shreddie for any situation

I wouldn’t be surprised then if Sam Chatterbox or some other talksh*te pundit mentions this on air should he pick up a Coventry game during the season. Just because he loves to disparage people.

I don’t think we’re perpetuating them, but the way events were playing out seemed set to just fulfil the conspiracists narrative. The end result has cut that off at source. They’ll grumble, there’ll be more than one poster on everyone’s social media feed (if you have one) railing about...

Given how it’s gone this far, you could’ve been spot on.
