Yes, it’s me talking about a decision against Leeds. Thoughts on this? Personally didn’t see a foul and I don’t think anyone in the stadium did. As for the first yellow; very stupid for dissent whether it was a foul or not so nor debating that one.

Alex, you OK pal???
Never thought about that before but I’m definitely going to keep this in mindI dont like the showing of card to player on the deck, disrespectful.

I also don’t like that he’s dealt out the card with another Leeds stood next to him complaining.I dont like the showing of card to player on the deck, disrespectful.
True for our level...I also don’t like that he’s dealt out the card with another Leeds stood next to him complaining.
I dont think the whole isolation thing has any focus at the higher levels they just want the sanction administering and moving on
You don't? Why not? I can see holding off a while if the player is injured but even then, if they end up being carried off you should still show the card before they leave the field. If the player is just sitting there for no good reason (trying to milk it for sympathy, often) I don't see anything wrong with it. In this instance it wasn't done in an aggressive or confrontational manner and looked perfectly fine to me. On the other side of the coin, waiting too long before sending a player off can have its own downsides as well and (in the words of Macbeth) it's usually a case of, "If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly."Doesn't change the fact that you don't send someone off when they're still sat on the ground
The lack of control of the ball and the non-likelihood of gaining control.The bigger question for me is why not a straight red?
He had about 15 yards to control a ball rolling (bouncing very low?) in front of him. The only reason he didn't control it was that his 'ball controlling foot' was clipped. For me, there is no question over the likelihood of gaining control had he not been fouled.The lack of control of the ball and the non-likelihood of gaining control.
The other three considerations are met... but not that one.
