But then there’s a rule saying it’s not a yellow if the advantage is gained.

Jesus. Look at those stats.

I think it’s hard not to see the massively upward trajectory from last season. If we can keep that gradient on the same lines next year, we’ll be knocking on the door of the playoffs - if perhaps not reaching them. The most positive thing tho from a personal perspective is that I’ve lost my ambivalence that I had towards our results and the enjoyment of watching Is definitely back.

Oh that’s an interesting development.

Probably the first. I think it’s a dive. And then add in a bit of double jeopardy.

I don’t think it was great reffing, I think it was silly and not needed. That being said, I don’t necessarily think he was wrong within the rules if that makes any sense. I suppose being the age I am, I’ve always been a bit of an Arsenal sympathiser as back in the late 90’s they were the only ones capable of beating United. But I think I’d call it the same if it were any other team… barring United. Then it’s a definite red!

I’m not 100% one way or another - other than I think the ref is a bit silly. But if he’s stopping the counter it shouldn’t be a yellow. And that’s what it is if you think it’s a dive by the Wolves player.

Yes it matters. You don’t ordinarily get booked for that level of contact, he was booked because of the dive. To say it was a push is generous. It was much more preventing the quick break that you could argue, in which case it shouldn’t be given as a yellow card so the rules say.

Well the first one is a massive dive isn’t it?

I think that’s probably where I’m at. Whereas it was within the rules of the game, it was a little bit “look at me I’m the ref” and it lacked common sense.

People also raising the fact that the purpose of a yellow card is to caution a player, how can you be unaware you’ve been cautioned?

Interesting…

Really interesting debate to be had here… what are your thoughts? At first glance it appears harsh but probably ok, but the more you consider some of the rules of the games the more murky it becomes… I’m still unsure! Your thoughts?

Looking at some of the names on this thread lambasting O’Dowda, some names whose opinions I respect massively, I would suggest that his time here is done. I wonder if Nige and his team pop over to the forum occasionally? Not that I think that Nige needs our input to separate the chaff.

You must have enjoyed how many times they repeated “our goalie can kick it a long way”.

You’ve sort of given it away! ???

nerdlegame 22 6/6 ???? ???? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????? Tried this Dave? This is a next level of time commitment.

Yes. Sort of. Only I’m not overly convinced par is 4.

Yep… I like to bank my correct guesses and narrow the field to my advantage. Worked well today!

It’s not even nearly out! FFS COD! I can’t even imagine how angry Nige must be.

I think I’d go as far to say this is the greatest managerial coup ever.

Definitely below his value. I think his value is still around championship level, but isn’t it testament to the man that he’s gone to Chesterfield. That’s the sort of thing that doesn’t happen enough in football, the sort of thing dreams are made of.
