Banjo Red Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Utter bollocks thought it was contact sport a yellow for sure. Perhaps they can retrospectively watch their employees back and watch how shit they are week in week out at reffing games. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 It’s stupid, but the initial foul was a cynical kick out too. Depends on how you look at it… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Fair enough. You can clearly see what he was trying to do when he went down and stuck out his leg so can't complain. Sometimes you get away with it, sometimes you don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 The initial trip on Sykes is just as bad, but he's running and it's considered clever play. Stupid kick out, he even got the wrong bloke, it's a very soft sending off but you are taking a chance doing that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar incident at home to Luton, the one involving Freeman. In both cases, it looks like he feels hard done by and takes the law into his own hands.

bcfc01 Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 At least he shows a bit of passion and stands up for himself, nothing wrong with that.

Silvio Dante Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Yeah can’t see anything wrong with the FAs decision here - irrespective of whether he was fouled first or not, he looks up and intentionally goes for the Swansea player. It’s moronic really - everything is caught on camera these days so even if the ref missed it you get outcomes like this. No complaints here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, also studs up and could have caused a dangerous injury Those saying "But what about *******" - Sadly thats life . .. He can't really have any complaints - it would have been a 3 game ban if seen by the ref and the extra game for the previous red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Steve Watts said: Application of the rules has always been inconsistent and I agree that the situation you state should be a red. There's no attempt to play the ball and the speed of movement can cause damage. I doing think it changes the fact that if that was a Swans player suspended for doing what Sykes did we'd be thinking it was probably about right. Yes, I agree, both were in the wrong…two reds for me…Sykes and the “tripper”. And Joe Bennett (Wigan) was a similar kick out…and should’ve been a red too. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Is the Swansea player who took him out preceding the incident, going to be suspended for causing it? If he hadn't brought down Sykes he wouldn't have been sliding on his back in the direction of the one he tripped up. City and Sykes get the blame and the cheating Swansea defender who started it gets away with it. No, of course not. I know I can be called as biased but the amount of skulduggery that has been dished out this season on our players by so many opponents who are not penalised during or after the match, is incredible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, it reminds me of the little kick out Beckham did all those years ago. It’s not really “gone soft” then if it was a red 25 years ago (yes I feel old writing that!) Looking at the footage it’s hard to argue, you can’t kick out at someone whether you make full contact or not is irrelevant. It does look like the Swansea player moved intentionally towards Sykes and appeared to stand on his hand/try to… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 If he's caught on camera then it was the right punishment. Conway should be back but I think we have alternatives. Weimann is the most likely but perhaps we could play Wilson in front of Tanner or, controversially, play Cornick in his true position of right winger.

As for v Luton Freeman either goes off too or the foul before when Sykes is sandwiched between two Luton players. Regulation foul, no red cards and no red mist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted March 24, 2023 Report Share Posted March 24, 2023 Would this have followed an appeal by Swansea or do the FA go through every match later checking for infringements. Can remember a couple of incidents against Sheffield United where there could have a red card and the ref just signalled to play on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
