REDOXO Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 The clearest most obvious Red Card since Zidan’s chest butt....Yet Bilic...As below If that was outside where the fighting was he would be in the back of Cop van!! https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/west-brom-manager-slaven-bilic-3876889 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 I’m not sure we’re in a position to criticise their manager when ours suggested “there wasn’t much in it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Not red for me. He put his hand on Pato's neck. ****ing wow, what kind of game do we want? It's about passion ffs. Sawyers is innocent and If that's our player seeing red, we'd be fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Looked like handbags to me. You can’t blame LJ for trying to milk it (any manager would) but I don’t blame Bilic’ reaction too. largely irrelevant anyway in the context of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans always cheer an opposition red card. Always do, always have. Not just at City, everywhere. It briefly brought the illusion that we might sneak a draw - until their third goal.

The worst thing I’ve read about today’s game and that’s saying something! also billic saying if that’s a red we’d see loads, I couldn’t tell you the last game I watched where someone grabbed an opponent by the throat. He makes it sound like it happens several times a game ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 100% a red no questions asked everyone who knows the game knows you raise your hand to an opponent's neck or face its a straight red , only shock was it took forever for the ref to show the red. Shame for sawyers as he really is a quality player . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlesh*t Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm one who thinks the game has gone soft and would like to see more passion and crunching tackles but grabbing someone by the throat on or off the pitch is just wrong.

1960maaan Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm not sure it was a straight Red, seen similar given yellow and seen worse nasty tackles not punished so harshly. What gets me, he had Pato by the throat long enough and within the Refs eyeline , specially as Pato turned towards the Ref. Yet it wasn't until the Lino got involved that he was sent off. What was it that the Linesman saw, that the Ref didn't ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuming maybe, because it is obviously such a stupid thing to do knowing it is a red in todays rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Another point is that this is the only red this ref has given all season, so its not like he hands them out willy nilly. Would have helped if Pato had been around to wind hem up in the first 30 minutes though. A red before they scored their first and who knows what the outcome would have been though to be fair, 10 men v 11 boys would still have been tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Once again another thread nothing to do with Johnson yet turns into another bashing. Was a red card. His reaction was glorious and the best moment of the game. Opposition fans always cheers when someone gets sent off. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Was an absolutely blatant red. No idea how anyone can defend it. He grabbed Pato's throat after winning an incredibly soft free kick. Was a bizarre reaction from Sawyers, but 100% a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 And yet the spurs guy didnt even get a yellow for a stamp on a blokes leg. It was soft but a silly reaction by Sawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 We were 0-2 down to top of the league and had a man advantage. So what? We wouldn’t have had the skill or gile to make anything of the advantage anyway. West Brom would have continued to stifle and dominate as they did all game. Some fans cheering that as well. Absolutely embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Interesting, I thought the chap sent off was going to come to blows with Fammy, they seemed to be digging at each other from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSMRobin Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Didn't see much in it at the time and I'm of the same opinion after watching the highlights. The most worrying thing is that we looked like the team with 10 men after the red card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
