The abuse is unacceptable. We all agree on that! Regardless of any errors.

The audio will be interesting…..I have a feeling they won’t release it……which will drive everyone nuts. If they do release it and he says Achilles red card as instructed by PGMOL then it’s bad again. Lose lose.

So MO thought he had hit his Achilles and hence sent him off! I agree with the conclusion. It’s not the worst decision, but it’s the wrong decision. Refwatch was interesting...

Btw. You know I respect your opinion and I just don’t agree with you on this. I have nothing but respect for you and your experience! ;) Saying that, you are wrong on this and once you see match of the day, I would be very interested to see your take on it.

Once again you are saying what you think should be the laws, but that’s not what they are. So what about a short pull that drops a player? If you pulled someone’s shirt on the street to get the last place on the bus you would be in a world of trouble.

VAR said they checked and verified that the correct call is a red card.

Feel free to watch the highlights here. I’ve just watched them and I’m always defending refs with my friends. I just can’t defend these calls. He gives a second yellow for what is a much more dangerous foul and for one we have seen people get straight reds all the time. And yes it makes a...

Have you watched it live? It’s late. And if there is no difference between a trip and a deliberate kick then the laws of the game wouldn’t differentiate between them and a trip would be classed as a red card offence. That isn’t the case. You are arguing on what you feel should be the laws...

Even if you say it’s a deliberate play, it’s a deliberate trip not a kick at an opponent. If he had kicked him deliberately I would 100% support a red card. You are being slightly misleading here by saying that all deliberate contact with a player is serious foul play. That’s a slippery slope...

I’m not arguing the merit of the laws of the game. That’s given as red card when it never is. Will be interesting to see what Howard says and I’m sure this will be appealed. FYI. Same match and this isn’t a red card.

I will add that it took 3 further offences for the wolves player to get a second yellow including kicking the ball away (which the same ref sent an Arsenal player off for earlier this season) Also similar tackle to the one he got sent off for went without sanction earlier. No wonder fans get...

You’ve just got rid of a yellow card! Just go straight to red all the time. You are adding another level of subjectivity and that’s not something I can endorse. The decision here was shocking as once again it’s not what the rules state or what football expects. I will be shocked if this red...

I agree with you in theory that we should be able to issue a red for someone who makes no attempt for the ball, but that isn’t the rule. I can’t see how this is seen as serious foul play red card offence. For me this is crazy red card.

We have very different views on what is a studs out

ridiculous red card.

I remember it changing, but I wonder why. Under the old regulations, it’s not handball if it came off the same players head or body regardless of where the arm is.

What happened to the rule that if it comes off your body it’s not handball?

Easily. I’ve never seen them given where both players have made a connection with the ball and clashed heads and a penalty given. Now if we arguing that they should be by the interpretation of the game then that’s different.

We should have a poll on this. For me it’s a clash of heads. Stop game and restart with a dropped ball.

Ok. Show me when a player heads the ball onto the keepers arm and then the keeper makes contact where a penalty has been given?
