cityexile Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I think the position of ‘is there a covering defender’ comes in to it in terms of is there another defender than conceivably get a tackle in to stop the goal scoring opportunity. The last defender, is so far from the ball there is no way he is stopping the goal scoring chance. He could block the effort, but so could a goalie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcnsBcfc Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 I think looking at the footage, the ref was running directly behind Bannan. What he saw was a player becoming aware that Knight was soon going into the 18 yard box and any foul from him would be a penalty. On that basis, he "tactically" bought Knight down right on the edge of the box at the very last opportunity. The ref obviously saw this as a cynical attempt to stop Knight shooting and thus under "Serious foul play" it was a straight red card. The player and Keeper in front of Bannan didn't come into the equation for me. All about Bannan's actions on the pitch. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought when I saw Hackett’s response was “todays ref is Keith Hackett from Sheffield”. Brilliant that a ref comes from Great Bookham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) On a related topic I thought the ref was poor, let a couple of really nasty challenges by them go first half & didn’t seem remotely bothered by the time their goalkeeper had the ball in his hands. Felt like at times he was refereeing a game from the 70s.. However as one of many sat by me who thought the challenge from Bannan was “yards” inside the box, he was 100% right & I was wrong. On the red card I agree with @Harry with a defender behind him on reflection it is harsh, though for a side destined to always get far fewer penalties than anyone else for some inexplicable reason, I’ll take what we can get.

steveybadger Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just had another look on the 15 min highlights on Sky, pausing the pics. Contact is clearly outside and Knight does a slightly artificial jump to take him into the area, so no pen. The covering defender is almost behind the goalie and there is a big ‘uncovered’ the keeper’s right, so it clearly is a scoring opp. So well done ref. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Perhaps harsh... we will never agree on that card ... what we will agree on mind not sorry to see Bannan leave the pitch, although in his mid 30's (born 89) now still a class act. Was best player on the pitch. We used to have a 'love in' with old Barry... never wastes a ball.. every thing went through him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are misunderstanding the word clear in relation to IFAB who set the rules. Clear will mean almost certainly score when all variables are considered. The defender between the attacker and GK would prevent the opportunity being DOGSO as it would not be 1v1. 10 hours ago, Harry said: But how can anyone say it’s a clear goal scoring opportunity when there is a denfeder stood directly between you and the goal? If that was a sending off today, then why wasn’t this one for Boro. Last man, player running directly in on the keeper, with the ball at his feet. Because the player is attacking from an angle. The wider the angle the less obvious the goal scoring opportunity is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett again fwiw. I still think the correct call was made anyway. Distance between the offence and the goal: On the edge of the box General direction of play: Striker clean through on goal Likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball: In total control of the ball, about to have a shot Location and number of defenders: One defender behind the keeper hoping to block on the line, nowhere near making a challenge on the ball Hence, denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. Red card. Also Bannan's deliberately tripped him making no attempt to win the ball so even if it was in the penalty area it would still be a red card 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Robin Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 As others have said, I'm amazed that this is even being discussed and that Wednesday fans genuinely feel aggrieved. Pretty blatant red as far as I'm concerned. Bannan trips Knight (deliberately, by the look of it) from behind as he is entering the box 1 vs 1 with the goalkeeper (okay, there's also a defender near the goal who looks unlikely to influence play much). In doing so, Bannan undoubtedly denies a clear goalscoring opportunity. What more is there to talk about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red card. Also Bannan's deliberately tripped him making no attempt to win the ball so even if it was in the penalty area it would still be a red card Your going through the DOGSO rule of DDDC. Distance from goal. Defenders covering. Direction of play. Control of ball. When the foul is committed there is a covering defender. The Keeper and defender are in close proximity to the attacker. The players are covering. They do not have to be challenging. That could easily be the failure in the test.

Surely the rule has always been ‘is he the last man’. He’s not. There is another defender who is pretty much bang in between Knight and the goal. If that’s not a ‘covering man’ I don’t know what is. I’d be mad if that was against us. I don’t think it’s about “last man” as such, but my initial thought (and it hasn’t changed) was that it wasn’t really a “clear goal scoring opportunity” in the sense that you usually see a red. Theres enough cover there to make it difficult, it’s not an open goal. Red seemed harsh, not surprised it’s over turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the phrase “last man” is really a short way of saying “it’s a clear goalscoring opportunity”. Invariably, if the last man brings you down he’s likely denying you a free run on goal. So yes, whilst it’s not ‘technically’ the rule it’s a kinda shorthand version. In this case, when Knight is brought down there is another defender stood 5 yards infront of him, directly between him and the goal. That’s why it’s not denying an obvious goal, for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) If it's overturned does that suspect it was a suspect call or is it all subjective? Either way it is the first suspect big call that we have been given in our favour in a very long time. One down, many more to go?

trickytimes Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 I thought it was a clear red at the time, and still think so. Barry Bannan thought it was a clear chance also, other wise he would not have brought him down. It does not have to be a certain goal for it to be a red card. I am very surprised it was overturned. As they say on Refwatch DOGSO - denial of goal scoring opportunity, which it certainly was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 That’s a disgrace of a decision that it’s overturned, if Knight wouldn’t have been taken down then it would’ve likely been a goal and if not a big chance.
