Murray red (and appeal)

[Clive Walker]

Is it a 3 game ban or not?

 

[Driver8]

One

Not

 

[gruntage]

Thought three was only for serious foul play so potentially just two? Or even maybe only the one, which is often the punishment for stopping a goal scoring opportunity

 

[McTavish]

Is it a 3 game ban or not?

Where's Dr No?

 

[Joshski]

One

 

[pb21]

Anyone got a replay?

 

[GingerBeerMan]

It's one for a straight red unless it's dangerous or reckless. Never two unless they've already had a ban.

Before anyone argues, it was a red. It's quicker to duck than raise your hands and therefore he could have avoided being hit in the face if he wanted to duck.

Someone posted a hlighylighs thread. It's on there.

[Da Man Clay]

One. Spot on from the ref to send him off. I suppose it worked out as that was struck well and going towards the top corner.

One if he had wanted a three match he could have right hooked Hutchinson.

 

[Clive Walker]

So it's either1 ,2 or 3?

Hmm, deliberate hand ball. Thought at the time it was ball to hand. Suspect it was the correct decision, but can't blame Murray really.

 

[jackanada]

A slightly frivolous appeal that he was protecting himself and he'll end up missing Lincoln.

 

[darkwolf666]

The ironic thing was Hutchinson was the first Wednesday player in the refs face demanding a red card - didn't end well for him, did it!

It was the right decision! Instinctive hands from Murray.

Ref got it wrong on their second red. Should have been a straight red not second yellow.

 

[StonehamPark]

Definite red, rightly called by the ref.

I'd probably say the opposite hadn't Stocko saved the penalty.

 

[worthingseagull]

clearly straight red, cant believe anyone who's seen it on tv would suggest otherwise.

 

[lhughes]

Very much a game of opinions and shows why video replays for certain things may not work.

Personally, I feel that if you're defending your face from the ball (as soft as the person is being!), it shouldn't be red as the ball would have hit the person anyway. A yellow would have been sufficient in my eyes.

Thought it could have been a blessing in disguise as it may have prompted us to bring in a striker by showing us how one striker can easily miss games, but with it being only a single game suspension...?
