[Football] Mounie red card..(Hudds lodge - and lose - appeal)

[Sussex Nomad]

Baloguns wasn’t a red for me but then I don’t think the one given was. I’m old school clearly.

If the Hudds one was then the Balogun one surely should have been too.

 

[Frutos]

It wasn't malicious and there wasn't any intent to hurt Bissouma but it was a poor tackle (a centre-forward's tackle, per Paul Ince on the BBC sport feed) with studs up, which got the result it deserved.

I thought Balogun was very lucky to stay on as well.

We gained from one and lost from the other......can see why both were given

but liam balliguns tackle was a red card in the different angles they showed on stream

One footed. Caught him late. Wasn't high. Why's that a red?

Maybe I'm majorly biased, but here goes... Mounie, studs up above Bissouma's lower leg- red card. Balogun, put his foot down to trip their player but not classed as violent conduct- yellow card.

We gained 3 points today but lost an entire league season after the C&US ruled that DS had murdered Gaston Ramirez.

I'm still angry about that.

Looked kind of soft. If that had been the other way round today and we'd gone down to ten men for a challenge like that I would not be happy.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Soft red (looked barely a tap, but 8.7 for the rolling around on the grass). Maybe a booking at worst.

 

[Bozza]

When it’s the opposition it’s a definite red, when it’s your player it’s soft.

I think that’s about it.

 

[nwgull]

Probably the softest red I’ve seen that hasn’t involved some rediculius amount of simulation from the ‘injured’ player.

 

[AmexRuislip]

If it's good enough for us, well it's good enough for other lesser teams.

 

[Weststander]

Watch the replay, it was a definite red card under modern laws and intepretation. High studs to knee/shin, no where near the ball, in fact I wonder if it was a deliberate snide challenge.

It doesn’t need power to be deemed violent conduct.

[Jim Van Winkle]

Think both today and Stephens were reds

This

 

[BensGrandad]

In normal time I thought both cards were correct but in slow motion I am not so sure about Baloguns being a yellow and not a red.but the red given was correct IMHO.

 

[Mackenzie]

Meh!

Who cares, we won they lost.

On to palace.

 

[Cozzy]

It was a red card , foot up and out of control , therefore dangerous & could brake bones ... all IMHO of course ... biggest problem is consistency as Balogun should have seen red too but thats luck of the draw & whether the ref sees it at the time baring in mind they dont have replays ... yet

 

[Acker79]

It would have been for serious foul play; violent conduct is head banging, punching etc.

Actually...

Serious foul play is when the incident occurs while challenging for the ball, violent conduct is for off-the-ball incidents. An elbow to the ribs while both jockeying for the ball is serious foul play, an elbow to the ribs while stood in the box waiting for the corner to be taken is violent conduct.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

An opinion, obviously.

I was very vocal about Stephens’ pathetic red the other day. Most on here agreed but some started quoting all the dangerous shite...

I appreciate the rules are a bit different too BUT...

Their guy goes in to win the ball, studs are up and catches Bissman, but not full on. I just find it hard to justify that as a red. It’s dangerous play when 2 players go up for the same ball full blooded in the air. There are dangers in the game always.

I just find football a little bit dead with these red cards. I’m not surprised it was given etc and appreciate the rules are different as I say, but just don’t think these game changing reds help the game tbh.

Straight reds are given for careless, wreckless and excessive force. This is the law of the game, which I think is clear and fair and professional footballers should know this. I viewed Stephens recent red against this criteria; ref was correct. I’ll do the same with this Hudds player.

I'm feeling tired and am wondering if I'm missing something here. Fouls are given for challenges that are careless, reckless or use excessive force. Straight reds are given for use of excessive force, but shouldn't be given for careless or reckless challenges.
