Briefly? You really don't need to see it for that long, get off the fence!!
Yes, briefly. And in real time. And I'm not a qualified referee. The fence is the appropriate place. Anywhere else and I'd have to be wearing blue and white tinted glasses!

He was a TOTAL joke. They always put Prem refs on these big games and most of the time they're abysmal. We WERE robbed [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

This decision is one of probably tens of thousands of decisions, from training decisions, team selections, tactics, pre-match approach, through to in game decisions (play it long, short, cross it high, low, power, placement, shoot it, pass it left, pass it right, pass it back, take it on), substitutions, instructions and so on. ALL of these decisions come together to decide a match.
You cannot take one of those decisions and say that is the whole reason for the result.
Did it affect the game? Yes. Did it decide the game? No.
At the very least we've got a taste of playing against PL prima donnas like Ramirez!
He is unreal and ran the show before ur player, tried to take out the best player on the pitch off.
Don't matter now we are up
He cut him badly. A very very nasty cut.
... But I've seen so many of those. His foot wasn't high, it genuinely was an accident. He got the ball and tried to keep his studs down.
He gave the red because he saw the cut and had just talked to the two of them moments earlier. An absolute textbook case of contextual refereeing. ****ing irritating in the extreme.

No, but I am sure this will be discussed later.
As others have mentioned though, he wasn't wearing shin pads so I don't know if this would be part of Stephens appeal? Nasty gash but I don't have any sympathy for him in hindsight.
Hughton, in his interview, said it was the linesman who made the decision.

If this was the case he may have just seen Stephens leap into it with both feet off the ground, and wouldn't have known if he got the ball or not.
It's a shame but the refs don't have the benefit of replays. It's harsh but this will always happen until they do.
If the boot was on the other foot we would take it.
Breaking the skin, that's got to be the saddest comment this year. My daughter just fell over in the garden and grazed her knee, I'll call the police!!
Q) arnt the referees /officials meant to check all players are wearing shinpads before the game
The club are appealing.All I'm saying is I doubt the club will choose to appeal. And if we do, I'll be surprised if the FA does anything more than sweet FA if we did appeal.
A grazed knee is not the same as the injury you saw in the game. Don't belittle my comment just because it suits your rose-tinted agenda. What happened, happened and we will just have to manage without a key player going into the play-offs.
