Forest v Swansea

[Marc]

Swans doing ok, defo red regardless of what time it was

Big call from the ref

Ends the game as an even competition after less than 2 minutes.


I'm sure he was technically right but as a football fan you have to wonder whether sometimes judgement and rule book aren't at odds to the disservice of the game

Haven't seen it but assuming it was a professional foul as stated, I would suggest the player's judgement and knowledge of the rules should be called into question, not the referee's. Why should the officials be berated because a player screwed up? And if he hadn't carded him, Sod's Law dictates that Taylor was bound to have made a significant positive contribution later on, leaving Forest justifiably aggrieved.

You can't pick and choose a punishment depending on what stage of the game it is.

For the record, i've only seen it once, but it was a bad foul, rather than a 'professional' foul as the beeb says

I guess I am just reflecting that what used to be acceptable in terms of tackling is now deemed dangerous and the reason it is dangerous is because of fashions in kit (boots/pads) rather than any sudden change in human physiology. We are headed to a non-contact sport and I am not a fan I'm afraid.

May not apply in this case and it's probably just my age.............................

Swans done well to hang on

High, studs up, miles from the ball and if it had connected with a standing leg possibly a broken leg. Red every time.

Swansea look really good. Something for us to aspire to.

Think the swans are having a cracker and I still expect a win. If we play like this nxt yr we will be fine.

Interesting footage on SKY of McGugan after supposedly being at deaths door after THAT tackle, seems he was SHAMMING

 

[Marc]

LOL at the commentator mentioning BHA

Really? Plenty of players never used to wear shinpads at all until they were made compulsory.
