[Albion] RDZ and Another Touchline Ban?

[Dick Swiveller]

What's the Italian for BELLEND?

Houper, I think.

 

[MTSeagulls]

The booking seemed harsh, so early in the game, without a prior warning - but we don't know exactly what he did / said.

Having seen the highlights, he was actually wrong about the incident that enraged him, though. Joao Pedro's flick was going to put Lamptey through on goal, and it did LOOK like the sliding, covering defender used his arm to stop it - but he didn't.

He doesn't seem to be cut as much slack as Arteta, Klopp, Guardiola, Silva etc by the referees and hasn't been since he arrived IMO.

Given what's happened previously with RDZ and Spurs, he might've just saved himself about 10 minutes on the touchline on Saturday.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Hooper found out pre match he was one of the ‘80%’, so it was inevitable

I'm in the "glad RDZ has his mojo back" club.

I don't really see how much a touchline ban makes any difference anyway.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yes. Confirmed it in his post match interview. Said he forgot he was on 2 yellows.

But you can't fault the guys passion, the way he jumped into the crowd when we scored #3 I think it was. Hard to take that out of his game.

Taking the yellow card as a welcome sign that RDZ appears to have got his mojo back

Your joking right, have you seen how animated the man is on the touchline, he is constantly barking orders, and walking back to the bench gesticulating....
The man is on speed....

 

[el punal]

Would be wicked if he came and sat in the north stand!

Roberto sit? In the North Stand? Is the moon made of cheese?

Yeah it is....

Proof if you don't believe me...

 

[Justice]

Not as bad as Taylor who loses control in most games he refs yellows dished out all over the place, If he’s meant to be the best ref we have god help the rest of them.

Bellendo, I think.

Just waiting now for RDZ to be marched out of the stands by a steward for persistent standing in the directors box on Saturday.

Especially after he said meeting with Webb was a waste of his time and then 80% of the officials are incompetent.
Arteta infringes every single match and the officials invariably ignore it.

Arteta infringes every single match and the officials invariably ignore it.

He is still on more bookings than any other EPL manager this season though (4).

As of today RDZ is now on his 3rd booking along with Poch, EtH, Silva and Pep.

It is only a perception that RDZ is being ‘targeted’ more than any other managers… in fact Arteta was charged after his rant about Arsenal’s loss to Newcastle which pissed off Arse fans since RDZ got away with just a warning after saying he ‘didn’t like 80 per cent of England’s refs’.

Which Premier League managers were shown the most yellow and red cards in 2023/24?

Out of 23 permanent managers this Premier League season, only one did not receive a yellow card. Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag have a few to share out.

...

As per the FA website "Gestures which show a clear lack of respect for the match officials(s) e.g. sarcastic clapping"

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I'd be amazed if it took him that long to find out.
I suspect he knew that before De Zerbi first mentioned it.

 

[El Turi]

Didn’t we do quite well last season when he was banned? I remember beating West Ham 4-0 and I think we won another match.

That crossed my mind but I couldn't remember which matches. I'm fairly sure we have won matches where he isn't in the dugout.

That and haring up and down the touchline and jumping into the crowd when we scored

Yeah but that would make my post redundant so I don’t agree
