Henry Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Why wasnt he sent off?In this day and age where you can get booked for taking your shirt off, but you are allowed to wind up the fans from about 10 ft.If he was booked for that then he would have been sent off in the last min.I thought the ref was crap today and bottled it a few times when he could have easily have booked the Burnley players.

I noticed Andy Gray did the same at Colchester earlier this season and evaded punishment but to do it twice in one game is sheer stupidity on his behalf. The ref should've clamped down immediately after the first incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 But when Murray cups his ear and runs down the Bob Bank stand he's legend?The slight difference is, Murray didnt get right in their faces and tbh if he did get booked, would you have really complained?

We love it when our players do it, we don't when others do.I do think you have some merit to the fact that he should have been booked for the first instance. He probably wouldn't have done it a second time if he had. As it was, it wouldn't have had the slightest effect on the scoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted September 22, 2007 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 The Murray celebration was some years ago - in the current climate, it would almost certainly have drawn a yellow card.I have no idea why Bradley Orr was booked on Tuesday - what offence exactly was he supposed to have committed? To me, he appeared to be celebrating his goal by running past his own fans back to his position for the restart. What else is he supposed to do?The ref's failure to book the Burnley player after their first goal today was laughable - if his action was not incitement of opposition fans, then I don't know what is. Had he been booked and then repeated the act after the second goal, then clearly he should have seen red (not that it would have affected the result so late in the game).As ever, it's the inconsistency that's so annoying - Orr booked presumambly for 'over celebration', yet the Burnley player allowed to get off scot free for clear incitement.

He'd definetly be booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeper Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 The Murray celebration was some years ago - in the current climate, it would almost certainly have drawn a yellow card.The Sunderland player who scored the first last night cupped his hands to his ears at the home fans without a booking.I think Tom's right. It's frustrating when it happens to us but feels so good when doing it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, he appeared to be celebrating his goal by running past his own fans back to his position for the restart. What else is he supposed to do?I think the rule is they don't leave the pitch, Murray ran down the line IIRC, Orr was running along the stand off the pitch, seems harsh to me but rules is rules I guess. Andy gray on the other hand stayed on the pitch buy was clearly provoking the fans, did it twice so should have been sent off. He could technically have been arrested too for "inciting a riot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeper Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 He could technically have been arrested too for "inciting a riot"It could also be argued that the fact opposition score important goals could incite arguments.I really don't think that players should get booked for overcelebrating. The interaction between the crowd and players is part of the enjoyment of football and it's really the fault of the morons who react to this rather than they players who are enjoying themselves and responding the the winding up that they recieve. If people in the crowd can't react in a non violent way (running on the pitch rather than giving the player gip and a few hand signals) then I question their mentality.

Rob k Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 The amount of stick players get i find it ammusing that people can get angry when a clearly pumped up player shows a bit of passion - even at pro 5 if we get a late winner or a draw it feels quality.

Dan Of The Dolman Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I remember Vs Port Vale at home in 2005 when Murray and Lita did the Soccer AM 'Easy' act and Leroy went up to the Vale fans n was clapping above his head going easy,easy don't think he got booked for that.
