Luton Town home match day thread

[ExiledAjax]

Should see Wilson now get the start that people have called for.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Might need Martin on if we're going to defend deep, Wells on a yellow too and he can be a bit clumsy so might be right to change.

[old_eastender]

Get Wilson on for Wells I'd say

had a trailing foot though and studs were not up, the ONLY reason he's been given a red is the reaction to the challenge!

I said red as soon as it happened and in slow mo it looked even worse

Agree straight red 

And the retaliation? **** me stonewall penalty, then just making shit up as they go along with the bookings.

where do they get these pricks from?

Barnsley 3 up

Who are they playing?

[RedEd73]

I thought the ref was having a decent game until the failure to give the penalty. Can understand the Sykes red, but retaliation must also surely be red

[Lordofthebling]

He went in annoyed by freeman's first challenge. Shame he lost his head, as itvwas between him and Massengo for MOTM.

It’s really not 

Yeah can see why it was given as a red.

Three gamer then?

Yeah, it won’t be rescinded

Come on boys. 

[marcofisher]

Fair Red, but annoying how Bennett stays on the pitch Saturday and we are denied a stonewall pen 5 minutes before.

[daored]

Clear pen not given but Sykes red was correct decision  @bexhill redsagree

Yep quite agree.

[AshtonRobin21]

That's an absolute disgrace from the ref!

Another penalty not given, and keen as you like to send Sykes off. 

We received an apology today for the officiating at the Hull match. I'd expect another very soon!

I guess the game has become non contact then... honestly he has a trailing foot, studs are down and made contact with the ball, aggression in a challenge isn't reason alone for a red. The challenge was fair but too aggressive means the most it should be is a yellow.

[RedEd73]

Great pressure by Zak

 

[Ska Junkie]

4-4-1 / 4-3-2?

Red is correct in this day and age, but seemingly afters is now perfectly acceptable, I gather that is now described as petulance…..

I said it on Saturday and I will say it again, "I think these refs should be made to go on refresher courses every so often"

[ExiledAjax]

Weimann knows he should cross that low first time.

[AshtonRobin21]

Referees need to start being interviewed after games like the managers are. They need to be held accountable for their decisions. 

[Banjo Red]

Surely we have enough video evidence from pens not awarded  from matches to ask the fa why we just don't get them.

[Nathandao]

Anyone got a clip of the whole Sykes red? Saw what got him sent off but not why the Luton player should be…

[old_eastender]

Martin on for Wells, Martin has to hold the ball up not just be a spectator. Williams on for Conway too

I'm not sure it is correct tbh as his other foot was on the ground, not 2 footed for me.

Rules are just made up at this point. It's all interpretation for a game gone soft. No red for Bennett for deliberate kick out on an opponent without the ball. Red for Sykes for a hard tackle while winning the ball. It was a foul but not 2 footed, not off the ground imo.

[TonyTonyTony]

Best game in a city shirt for Wells. Great game

[Roadrunner]

Dig deep  boys.

[ZideredInZouthville]

He went through the back of Freeman?
