WesM Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I've just watched the O'Connor sending off incident again and I'm more bemused now than I was yesterday!The decision was harsh and I think Crewe will be appealing?Louis' challenge was two footed, but wasn't over the top of the ball and I wouldn't say any ill intent was there on his behalf either. He gets to the ball well before the Crewe player with a strong challenge, nothing wrong there in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Did the Crewe player raise his hand at all? THought he may have gone for retaliantion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 Both players slide in two-footed but Louis is fractionally ahead and does win the ball. Consequently the Crewe player connects with Louis' legs rather than the ball. It certainly looks like Louis could easily have gone instead of the Crewe player though. We're lucky that the ref went with what was probably the correct decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
