[Albion] Why was Fab sent off?

[Papa Lazarou]

So we STILL don't know why he was sent off?

I think the true reason is 'the ref lost control of the game' but I don't think that is what will be on the charge sheet

For wearing a loud haircut in a built-up area?

Man loves his water bottle

The way I saw it was as follows:

1. Ref gives a thrown in instead of a second yellow
2. Fab goes MENTAL at the 4th official
3. 4th official tells the ref to have a think
4. Ref gives second yellow card
5. Nuno goes MENTAL at the 4th official
6. Both get sent for going MENTAL at the 4th official

I suspect that if the ref does his job in point 1, neither get sent off

In a sense he went mental with his head in his hands in an act of despair but without knowing what was said it is difficult to know if it was worthy of being sent off. Clearly he wasn't being threatening and finger pointing or ranting and raving which is what Nuno was doing.

He's not been charged with using abusive or insulting words like Nuno though.

Perhaps he was red carded for saying 'Anthony, I think that should perhaps be a second yellow'.

Nah it was “looking at me in a funny way” and “possession of a German accent”

It was definitely the umlaut, can't be having those

You's dotty, thinking it's that.

"Dunky was right about you, you bald ****"

 

[BluesRockDJ]

I think he was talking to Dunk after he got the red.

I was in East Lower

 

[Seagull58]

I was in East Lower

What's your point?

 

[Deadly Danson]

Probably a tacit admission from Webb that the red card was a bit OTT

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Sweet talking Fab.

 

[Bodian]

Whilst welcome, how does this work? A red card leads to an automatic suspension. No ifs, no buts.

So, if he's not being suspended, surely the red card must be rescinded? Otherwise it opens up the floodgate for other managers and players to plead that they should be let off suspension for one reason or another.

 

[banjo]

Because he doesn’t look like this.

Gary - on the BBC website - agrees with you...

 

[NS Herald]

And Nuno is also not banned despite his foul mouthed and aggressive rant - go figure??
