Never a red + we had boro bricking it

[stss30]

Never a red in my eyes, came so close. Still believe we'll win the playoffs.

 

[Marshy]

If the panel looked at Barton's foul and deemed it not a red then surely Stephens will be over turned....

 

[Blue_Boy]

Just seen it from several angles on Sky as opposed to as it happened in 'real time' when I was fuming at Dale for what seemed a high, dangerous challenge. Now it's more than debatable if there was any intent. Both players are totally focussed on winning the ball!

It was a yellow at most - the majority of refs would've shown a yellow including the hapless Dean who originally did. What disgusts me is Ramirez's reaction which influenced a red. If a player isn't allowed to lay a hand on a ref how does knocking a card out of his hand rate? The same in my book

Once he'd shown Dean the result of the collision (follow through with no intention to foul IMHO) Ramirez had conned him & out came the red. Disgusting behaviour. The only act of intent was by that cheat Ramirez to ensure Stephens walked

We were iffy & far from on form but they were no better. With eleven v eleven at 1-1 I feel we'd have done them. We must appeal quickly about the red before Friday. Also Ramirez HAS to be penalised for grabbing at the ref's arm & knocking the yellow card out of it? Did he have shin pads on? If no another offence

I'll still back us to beat Sheff We'd but Wembley worries me if several players don't perform in the same way they were greatly under par today. I was worried about Knockaert. He was far too hyper & worked up. I could see him getting a red & with 9 we'd be finished

I've watched it multiple times.

Not a red and the ref didn’t think so either, until he saw the cut on Ramirez leg. Which IMO he should not have let influence him.

I was confident that the ref and officials would be decent, but once that initial slide tackle of Stephens was deemed a foul I was concerned.

Just to add to it, Stephens was MOTM until he was wrongly sent off.

So it was a yellow. The ref had a yellow in his hand. The Middlesbrough flower rolled his sock down, and knocked the yellow card out of the ref's hand.

Why is a red card now fair, and why is knocking the card out of the ref's hand allowed ?

Whatever. Say what you like, water off a ducks back.

 

[Gazwag]

We needed a Championship referee but got a premier league one

 

[ClaretMatt]

Stills don't lie. Or so you all said.



Thug, get him sent to Burnley on the cheap.

 

[John Bumlick]

Whatever. Say what you like, water off a dicks back.

fair enough.

a second after he had won the ball with Rameriz following through. Hmmm

Woah there! What are you saying... From a couple of pictures I have seen it definitely looks like no shin pads.
Is that an offence? I didn't know that. Is that the case?

Ah, but what happens a second before does not matter. Especially if it involves the other player. So it's decreed.

 

[BBassic]

Ref gave a lot there way ...now to start the walk back to the car and long drive home ..bugger

That's an understatement. Every 50/50 for the last 20 mins went their way.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

My wife has told me not to use expletives when I get annoyed.....so **** off back to your own board before we both get into trouble

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Oh you're going back to that theory that Kayal put his leg in poor ickle Joey's way so he had to stamp on it are you?
The lamest of defences of a player ever heard on this board.( which puts it up there as a candidate for lamest defence in the world)

Rewind that frame back and Kayal is being sent sprawling by Joey pushing him over because Kayal has beaten him to the ball again..

You've won the championship today (assuming you're not Palace). Go and celebrate...

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Mike Dean bottled it. What a tosser.

 

[TSB]

How about you **** off, Matt?

 

[Sam Ovett]

Honestly m8 why are you here? You're promoted, so go celebrate with your tadpole friends. Just because you hate little ol' Brighton for daring to be so high in the table after spending little compared to you...

Also Burnley can **** off

 

[sdmartin1]

fair enough.

Having a go against one of our own, all that needs to be said. Keep moaning, staying off here for the playoffs for sure.

 

[DavePage]

Surely it was Rameriz that had mistimed the tackle or whatever you wanted to call it.
Stephens got the ball, Rameriz was not near the ball
What was going on in the 6th minute of added time? When their assistant coach tried to stop us getting the ball.
League investigation please and one point deducted. Or will it be job done and a retrospective fine
