Did you think the same about Andone's red card ? Afraid to say Mauypay is of the same mould, complex about being short and not winning any of the balls that we keep pumping up to him !
How is Maupay being a wind up merchant anything like being sent off for flying in late to a leg breaker challenge ?

did you not see his tantrum at the end ? Lucky not to have got a second yellow . Andone didn't break a leg, by the way !
Yes it was right in front of me, and a bit of handbags.
Nothing like Andone dangerous challenge.

Quite suprised Maupay didn't see a retrospective red at the end of the game. He was niggly throughout yesterday
It needs the Duffy Dunk partnership to put a bit of steel into the team

That makes it sound like he was the instigator. He was being wound up by his ex Brentford teammate, and reacted. He got a yellow card.

Maybe Andone didn't break a leg, but it was an appalling challenge, quite possibly totally unprovoked, and he could well have done more damage. TOTALLY different to anything Maupay did yesterday

Made me chuckle before thinking "oh that's a bit Sunday league" before thinking "they must've been winding him up all game" before thinking "I hope he doesn't do anything stupid". A retro yellow is fine with me, but do hope he doesn't lose his niggly antics, as it does work in our favour if players fall for it.
Fortunately he can't get a retro yellow and considering he was booked in the game it would have been a red

I've been thinking the same thing for a while, we look like startled deer in some games and wouldn't say boo to a goose.
I don't believe it's a legacy of the Hughton era but I do think Potter has had a word with our players about NOT approaching & moaning to the ref's & lino's. If this is the case then I am not in agreement, I think it makes us look weak and an easy target for refs who are weak themselves. In this context I think we make it easier for the ref to give us the yellow cards & maybe the odd red card more often than to players of a team (or manager) who'll moan and whinge during a game.
I'm not advocating our players being an arse to any ref for petty things, but where it's warranted it needs to be pointed out by our players. It also shows to every upended or offended player that the team are backing him up, it's part of being a team player.
We need to grow some, Potter included who sometimes appears pretty meh on the touchline and in interviews, it's a tough game and we're in dire straights, time to toughen up and be a TEAM.

Targett was guilty of 2 challenges that could easily have seen him booked .......the ref was ......mystifying as far as i am concerned.

Just for confirmation, the BBC text says Maupay received a yellow card at 90+5. It was also reviewed by VAR for a possible red card.

That was for dragging Hourinhane over, by the East touchline, after the foul on Pröpper - NOT for the handbags with Konsa after the final whistle.

Why was it issued at 90+5?

Probably 94.01 minutes the VAR decision was 90+6 the match finished at 90+6
