[Albion] You're the ref: Morgan Gibbs-White
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Did he make contact with the ankle?

The ref saw the tackle from behind, ball won. The fourth official saw the tackle from the front showing studs up, which is a yellow card.
Winning the ball is no excuse for a horrible tackle, and there is no such wording in the rules of the game. Reckless tackle.
Yellow card, but a second yellow equals a red card, not a straight red which the graphic from Football Pulse seems to suggest.
I see your narrative and, yes, I can confirm that the referee was a complete arsehat.

It was a yellow card.
Second yellow

He had to go through the player to get the ball. It’s really that simple. It’s a blatant yellow, whether he gets the ball or not.
I’ll hold fire until we’ve seen a load of TV angles.

It depends how many games Pedro will be out for now. I have a horrible feeling we may not see him for some while.

Unfortunately I was at home today, watching tv, so have already seen several angles.

And now we cross to the Nottingham Forest forum to see the results of the poll there.
I wasn't sure what to make of it, but he does seem to play the man within the movement and is clearly not in control. So I'm guessing a second yellow. Looks like the initial angle the ref had suggested he had played the ball cleanly and he was corrected.

According to TS (i was listening to the Cit/Arsenal game on way home) it was the 4th official who told him that it should be a yellow)

It’s definitely a second yellow not a straight red. I’ve been surprised by how many people haven’t realised this, because the referee clearly showed a yellow first.
Ref caused the touchline fracas and the manager’s reds by his poor initial decision. Right call by the 4th official (who had pretty much a perfect view of it).

Definite yellow, possible red, and I can't believe I'm going to say this (which only seriously old players desperate to appear relevant say), he's really not that sort of player 
Sorry

Kind of answers the first part though. Ref thought he had played it cleanly from the angle he had. These things often can't be helped.

Endangers the safety of Pedro, he’s out of control. Straight red.
Definitely not a ref to create calm with fairness and an early firm hand. First half fell for all their falling to the ground and he never clamped down on time wasting. Second half appeared to want to even it up, Nuno and their players often furious with him.
And why did the assistant refs fail to initially flag a series of clear offsides? Creating chaos in open play, fury and at least one yellow.
