Admin phantom Posted January 1, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 To me it looked like the referee today told our bench to sub Webster, does anyone know if that was the case or if it can happen? There was clearly blood on the side of his neck as he was walking off Ps thank you to the referee as we scored straight after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I think RB said it was our own players who also asked for him to be looked at / subbed, there appeared a lot of blood openly running out of the wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hadn't he been off a couple of times before, there was still blood flowing. Not seen it , and relying on RB which isn't the best , but I thought they said the bench wanted him off and Webster wanted to play on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Webster wanted to play on for sure but had received treatment twice and the third time the cut was still bleeding through the bandages quite thoroughly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Looked like LJ was arguing with either the referee or Webster. Webster didn’t want to come off it looked like he was saying to the referee he was fine and it wasn’t that bad, looked really angry when he came off on BCTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 What one never sees on the RB are the real nice touches at football. Firstly as Webster was about to walk down the tunnel in front of us 'Knowle Man' leapt and powered in his header. Webster went mad and punched the air with both arms! Secondly Wilbs got his phone out to record the celebrations. Doubtless RB viewers kept warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The referee has the complete right to have a player with blood pouring from a wound removed from the field probably even duty as he represents a danger to himself and more saliantly others. What happens next is up to the manager, but if the ref says he is not to be on the pitch then LJ has a decision to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Looked like ref said you can’t continue to Webster. Good game time for Bailey though and I expect he will get more v Udders next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieH Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I was stood by the players tunnel and can confirm blood was running down through bandages and onto neck and face. as he was walking off city scored and he managed to celebrate in front of the fans before going in for treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Definitely looked on bctv like he was told to go off by the ref. He’d been treated a couple of times and it was still bleeding so I think the ref has every right to insist he leaves the pitch until bleeding stops - clearly they weren’t capable of stopping the bleed so he had to be subbed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat right by wilbs too, if I'd have known you were there I'd have said hello For anyone not there today following a clash of heads between Webster and Pack in the opening exchanges, after treatment on the pitch Webster returned to the dressing room for more treatment. After coming back onto the pitch the ref ordered him off again where this odd plaster was put across the top of his head (over bandages already wrapped around his head) and forced to put on the "blood shirt", then minutes later when we were just about to take an attacking thrown in the ref went over to our technical area and seemingly instigated the substitution. As mentioned above the blood was very clear as he was walking down the players tunnel by the corner flag. It looked like both our bench and Webster were against the change, I honestly wasn't aware an official could do this? Obviously an element of common sense about a players safety comes into play, but thought it odd no opportunity was allowed to get him playable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 The issue with the ref, which I believe was more why LJ was angry with him when he went over, was two prior times Webster was ready to come back on, once after being off for five minutes, when we desperately needed him back, the ref would not wave him back on, and twice allowed Stoke to attack before he’d let the player return to the field of play. Having seen players feign injury at AG, then trot off, and get waved back on almost immediately, this really boiled my piss too. I know refs are inconsistent, but why on earth did he TWICE dismiss the request from the fourth official for Webster to come back on? In the first half he was a full-on parachute ref, advantage after advantage to the ex-Prem side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that was ridiculous, even more that the second time it happened having stopped him coming on for about a minute he then seemed to choose a random moment to wave him back on!
