Strawberry2157. Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm with cotts, elbow by the Swindon player to begin with then he pulled Wade back. If Wade isn't playing Saturday it will be a travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just a shame the camera followed play - if it doesn't get overturned I expect the FA will use an excuse of not being able to see the offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I can't see this being overturned sadly. They probably need a clear replay of it and I haven't seen anything that does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap flinger Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Wade has no interest in getting involved with anything and is walking away, player pulls him back and goes down. I am sure that this has been rehearsed and that's why the player is punching the air like he has scored. Has to be overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicolin Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Shocking decision , How tall is Wade and their player ? How can it be a head but !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Elliott bends his knees in order to force his head back. For me it is a red card. Arguably the Swindon player should have been punished too but Elliott clearly stops, bends his knees and goes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA now have the perfect excuse to do nothing, rather than rooting out cheating. Maybe a charitable fan has some phone footage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevedon Red Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 The ref was watching it all happen as well from what I can see, yet the linesman made the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 He goes back because the swindle player has both hands on his shoulders pulling him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm sorry but if Wade is sent off for that, then the other player should be too. He's probably done more than what Wade had done, only he didn't fall to the floor! Shocking decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Disgraceful decision to send off Elliot. I can't see it not being overturned at appeal. Superb goal from Smith in all fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordie Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Was a foul on Wade and a sly little kick, Wade gets up and the Swindon player grabs hold of him and it looks like Wade backs into him, from then it is unclear so wether he did but elbow or whatever else was said to happen I can't see it being overturned, move on, some on here have said Elliot has looked poor recently (not me) so now Pack has a chance to stamp his mark and hopefully show us what a player he can be, look forward to Preston and a good win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 The reality is that the evidence here is far from conclusive. Don't really see how people can make their minds up with such certainty given that that most crucial seconds are off camera. One thing I do question is why Elliott suddenly bent his knees like that. Jury is out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury is out for me. The point your missing is that a lot of City fans didn't see the incident....when we see the clip it's pretty clear that it looks considerably LESS worse than what people were expecting. I for one was expecting it to be pretty damning....I think the reaction from the players and the initial assault of being kicked and then pulled backwards kinda highlights how we have been done by the player and the officials.

I'm Sparti-Bob Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Terrible decision, watching the footage again and Elliot doesn't appear to even break stride?? I make no apologies for posting this photo yet again, but the more people that see it, the more people realise what a horrible little tin-pot club Swindon truly are. A picture really does speak a thousand words (or none in this case, as I was genuinely lost for words when I first saw this).

City1970 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I,m just lost for words over that refereeing blunder. Personally I don't believe it is a blunder.

cityexile Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Personally I don't believe it is a blunder. Sadly refs can dictate the outcome of games and I believe the ref knew what he was doing.Firstly, it was the linos call. I disagree that the fatal contact between Elliot and the number 5 is missed. It is just captured on the left, and that may help. 48/49 seconds. Firstly, their player makes a very strong challange on Elliott. In itself borderline. He then has a cheeky flick at Elliott, and then is pulling him back. Elliott then if anything, seeks to hold his ground and block him. His head does make contact with the top of his chest, but it is not obviously an intentional headbutt, to me.Their player goes down like he has been shot. Gut feel is that Elliott was simply seeking to hold his ground. I do think if Elliott goes down after the intial contact, or the flick kick, its most likely a booking the other way. Cannot hammer him for this one. Just a bad day at the office for us, where the luck went the other way. Equally think it is not going to be overturned. Bit like one of those when a forward gets sent off for elbowing in the air, when intention is most likely not present. Hard to prove its the wrong decision. Unlucky, and not one where he has lost his head. Just need to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame this can't be submitted as part of our appeal I suggest Cotterill pins this photo up in the dressing room and plays the video of their players goading our fans for a whole week before the return game. Just in case any of them forget how they cheated and disrespected us and why they deserve to be humiliated. Hopefully, we'll be runaway leaders and already celebrating promotion that day.

Its a shame this can't be submitted as part of our appeal This is one of the most sickening photos I've seen in football and a sad indictment of what the game has become. That any player can seriously celebrate the dismissal of another is appalling. In my view he is guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and should be punished accordingly. Catch us if you can, Swindon. Meanwhile, mind the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
