Needless challenge and yes he left the ground, but was on the ground by the time contact was made. Definite yellow, bad challenge, can see why the ref would think it was "out of control" initially - but like I said, had landed from his jump before contact was made. Can't give a red for that, surely!

I don't think Scowen will ever be able to walk again after that challenge.

[Luxo Jr.]

Worth it just to hear the German commentator over-pronounce Diedhiou over and over again.

No way-would be almost as bloody a stupid thing to do as that Baker 'tackle'...

There wasn’t a great deal wrong with the tackle. Foul yes. Yellow yes. But horrible ball to him and necessary challenge to stop a break. 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

What a goal and what skill from Fammy, a really delightful header from the French man.  Come on the ten men!

[cityexile]

Love every half time score at the moment, but going to be really tough with ten men all second half.

QPR will need to come out a bit more, and that in the context of the game hopefully is a huge goal.

[Luxo Jr.]

Baker tackle one of those ones where we'd be hailing him had he got the timing right.

YEEEEEEEEES FAMARA YOU SENEGALESE PRINCE OF MY HEART

SHOVE THAT UP YOUR ARSE SKELETOR

HAHAHAHHAHAHHA

   Good old spell check eh Zider!

[old_eastender]

Need to keep our shape and heads and we can win this. Pato has been least effective player for us, but don't want Mags on - he is just an accident waiting to happen.

[cidercity1987]

Good job they ain't very good

[The Fat Controller]

What a joke of a referee. 

Doesn't even speak to their man after he drags Bryan down by the neck. No yellow for a blatant dive either. 

He's Crap. And he's ruined the game.

Why? Its not what I like to see, but we have the lead so why not frustrate them and maybe get a second on the break?

[ZiderEyed]

I bet his dong is enormous.

I've not seen it. If a QPR defender does that to Bobby are we all shouting for red?

[Lrrr]

Stream I'm watching is showing loads of highlights, just watched the red card about 4 times and in slow motion, never a red card and should have been a yellow, its late and takes him about but its not malicious and not overly dangerous (wasn't studs up, contact wasn't high up the leg etc) should be overturned. 

[Esmond Million's Bung]

This is as poor a QPR team as I have ever seen and 11 v 11 we should be putting them away with ease.

The sending started with a poor pass by Flint and followed up by a reckless challenge by Baker followed up by a complete over reaction from Scowen, for me a yellow all day, but given that we know what a turd Stroud is Baker gave him a decision to make.

Great goal, some great approach play but lacking the final pass, Paterson is not quite with it today and our free kicks are still appalling and unimaginative.

We should still win this, just don't need to go gung ho, to be honest I would bring on Diony for Patterson and push Reid back into midfield.

And the ref bottled out of 4 yellow card challenges by QPR after the red.

Yeah, in fairness, but maybe not expecting to get it.

Not a chance. Yellow at the very worst in my opinion. 

[Alessandro]

I've been watching the reply of the Baker tackle, it gets worse the more you watch it. 

Had it been the other way round, I'd expect a red there, especially as it was a break.

There is a camera angle on the replay from behind and you can see Bryan's face tracking back.

He pulls a grimace at Baker which paints a picture. "Ouch. You're ****** mate"

Hahahaahhahah FTG

That’s no way to talk about a referee.

It was a poor challenge he was never going to get the ball, should have been yellow, but he has given the ref the opportunity to make the wrong call. Terrible pass from Flint caused the situation.

I bet Stroud's dong is shrivelled and gangrenous. Hope it falls off.

[Sitrom]

Regards that red.  Is it not similar to the red that the Wolves player got against us.  I wasn't complaining then but i thought it was harsh....  It feels like a TV game red.  If that makes sense.

No. Clear yellow. 

[cidercity1987]

Luckily Reid is the ideal player to play both as a 4th midfielder and a 2nd striker at the same time

Yes we would because we are myopic football fans but doesn't mean the ref should give it

[Major Isewater]

Keith Stroud in with his normal partner .

 

[Super]

Have to say it was reckless and in todays football probably a red. Have to see it again though. Stupid by baker and what was that pass about by flint?!

You don't happen to have a link please do ya?

[Up The City!]

Despite being down to 10 men this lead is more than deserved.

Keith Stroud has reminded me why I ******* hate him tho.
