[Albion] Newcastle United vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

Bloody fool, so close to end of the game and now miss the next 3, Brighton, you just couldn't script it.

Ahhh Biss didn’t mean it.

It’s unfortunate. One of those things.

Bissouma still man of the match for me

 

[pb21]

It is clear. And he was right to take a good look.

I guess if you think that was clearly and obviously a red then yes, but I'm not so sure it was a clear and obvious mistake by the ref in the first place?

The rules say:

The VAR will also check for possible red-card incidents for which the on-field referee has awarded a yellow card or no card at all.

The VAR will look to identify a “clear and obvious error”.

The on-field referee will explain his decision to the VAR and what he has seen.

I'm not so sure it was a clear and obvious error.

Edit: I'm not saying it wasn't necessarily red card worthy.

It’s a red all day long

No intent but completely dangerous

Similar to when Len nearly took a player’s head off his shoulders

 

[dstanman]

Newcastle beaten by brilliant Brighton, says it all

 

[Frutos]

Well, that'll make my work Skype calls this week rather more fun!

Lamptey MOTM

 

[BBassic]

Almost a perfect game.

 

[Gabbafella]

Excellent away 3pts. Everyone was superb again today.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Hope shearer is on match of the day...

 

[BN41Albion]

Well that was lovely

How many games will Biss miss?

Men against boys.

What a pleasure that is to say in the top division!

Well done Team Brighton and Potter and his boys.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Shelvey 'meant' to hack down Lamptey.

That is the problem with the rules as they are. Shelvey always has been and remains a thug. But that is an "orange" offence. Biss was 100% going for the ball and I have no idea how he got his foot that high but it caused a nasty injury so was probably a red.

 

[R. Slicker]

Anyone know what game Sky are showing next?

 

[Dick Swiveller]

How many games will Biss miss?

3. Although I guess/hope Preston counts as one.

 

[RandyWanger]

Lamptey comes across really well in his interviews, a grounded young man, a player to be proud of.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Fantastic result. Well done lads!!

 

[Robdinho]

How many games will Biss miss?

Think it's 3 games for violent conduct unfortunately

 

[kevo]

Really can't see how that's a red - he was trying to flick the ball up. Yellow all day long for me. The nature of the injury is irrelevant.
