BCFC Jimmer Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Having seen the replay 4 or 5 times it has to be one of the worst assaults on a Bristol City player I have ever seen. If the FA don't take any retrospective action then football is the loser and they have let down Aden Flint. The lad who did it should be utterly ashamed of himself. Completely uncalled for.

red84 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 He collared flint 3 times, all penalties. Elbow was as you say an assault, Swindon got what they deserved from the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Loved gj and lj in the analysis of the 3 penalties. First one was ufc Second one was nfl Third one was wwf Guy deserves all the fa (should) throw at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Branco the Brazilian centre half. Must have learnt how to block, grab and shove all without watching the ball when growing up in Brazil. Real pity former PL referee Swarbrick didn't see any of the incidents......5-0 would have been even sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gakoe Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Branco should've been off by half time. How the ref and linesmen missed ALL the attacks on Flint I'll never know. The guy obviously had instructions to take Flint out at any set piece and he was allowed to get away with it time and again. Disgraceful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire Dastardly Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's clear that the Swindon team play to instruction. The ref knew it was a game packed with emotion and did everything to ensure that there were 22 men on the field at the end. Whether that's the way the game should have been controlled is an open question. I'm sure if this had been a premiership game, the ref would have been tougher on the brutality meted out by the Swindon players. We've seen the same attitude by senior refs operating in lower and non-league cup ties. It shouldn't be that way but it is. Let's get into the Championship and further away from the likes of Swindon. Then again there's always Leeds Utd of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 The ref knew it was a game packed with emotion and did everything to ensure that there were 22 men on the field at the end. Whether that's the way the game should have been controlled is an open question. Absolutely not. I'm all for allowing the referee to use some discretion to allow the game to flow, but it has to be measured so as not to give advantage to a team that continues to foul throughout the game. Branco should have been sent off regardless of the emotion of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branco should have been sent off regardless of the emotion of the game. Exactly and I believe that there is such a thing as the rules of the game and the first assault on Flint was a straight red in the laws of the game, he used his discretion by not sending off Kasim for 2 yellow card offences close together in the first half, the referee and his officials were shocking.

Then again there's always Leeds Utd of course! Sure he was told to mark Flint out. However, if the elbow is seen, he is off, and a penalty. End of. I do not for a minute believe officials let that go because they do not want to send somebody off. They missed it, which they should not have. 99% of the nonsense was down to Branco who should have been penalised for it. Kasim's were more 'honest' yellow challanges, like Agards, if you see what I mean. Will duck after saying this, but, yes, passionate, but other than Branco, not played in a bad spirit by both sides.
