Absolutely dancing and delighted to follow up the win over City115 by beating this bunch on their own patch.

Pished off about the Baleba dismissal. It didn't cost us today, however, for me, Atwell is, perhaps, the poorest referee in the history of the Premier League. He really hasn't improved much over time. Admittedly, the bar is pretty low.

Marvelous to see the quality Joâo Pedro brings to our attack.

Hoping for an evisceration of Stains on Friday night.
Evisceration is one of my favourite words!!

We made harder work of that than was necessary - with all thanks to t@twell.
We rode a tide against us for a while, especially at the start of the second half, but we were clearly the better side.
Just think...if we hadn't dropped a few points (think Ipswich/Forest/Liverpool....)......

Yes you can. Independent Review Panel
Update. My old mate Neil (the one who, ahem, decked Ray Wilkins, just messaged me on my 'old school' whatsapp group to say we can't appeal it.

Time, I would imagine, will tell....

Fab wants the ref to take back the second yellow. Is that a thing?

Obviously, it's easy to have a pop at Atwell, but from his angle it's a clear yellow. He sees Baleba go in late, catch the player on the shin and then writhe in agony, which is a yellow from his perspective.

I don't think he can see that he makes no contact and can only call what he sees

Beginning to think our City result wasn’t all that as they seem to have gone all ‘Spursy’ currently 0-3 to eh Spurs !

Baleba’s first yellow was avoidable so there’s some blame there.

The second yellow was a classic 1st yellow but not enough to be sent off

Oh well, we need to get use to rotating the squad and it’s only a game

Did anything else thing there was something up with M O’R in the final 5 min, looked like he had sprained something, but the stream wasn’t great?

Definitely a harsh second yellow, but I was wanting Baleba yanked at ht as his playing style would obviously be impacted by the first card. Some responsibility lies with Fab there.

Baleba was hard done by admittedly but he can be rash. I don’t think he should be pushed too hard. I don’t want him thinking he’s a cert every game. When Weiffer gets up to speed - and hasn’t yet - I want Baleba pushed harder.
I agree but, I don't see anything at all in Weiffer, what am I missing? What does he do well?

Hes large, athletic, and in a number of early games was crunching into tackles and producing really crisp passes. He's very nervous, taking a long time to adapt to this league and has made some high profile errors.

Just home. MOR struggled a little bit after he got fouled - was on the floor for a bit. Looked like he took a knock to the knee.

That's only for mistaken identity isn't it ?
No, any second yellow can be reviewed but there's a fairly high bar for getting it overturned - one slam dunk is, as you say, mistaken identity.

Here's an example which wasn't overturned on appeal:
