Ref is having a bit of a shocker here

interesting

 

[Mr Smggles]

Fair play to the opposition, good gesture. 10 vs 11 doesn't really help anyone.

76: The Spanish side allow Albion to introduce an eleventh player again; Chicksen returns in midfield. #SGFC 1 #BHAFC 1

 

[TSB]

And we're back to full strength: Chicksen back on. Good on Gijon

 

[tomfitz12]

we've been allowed to put an 11th player on

Gijon letting us bring on an 11th player made me smile.

 

[We're the Stripes]

Anyone wanna have a guess at our formation now?

 

[glasfryn]

why can't they do this in the English championship

If that happened, we'd have to return the favour by bringing Harley on

So you did. Would be pretty pathetic to send off a player in a friendly. Especially for kicking the ball away[/QUOTE]

yes it would...oh wait

Get the impression that Gijon think it was a joke decision too, hence their offer for us to bring someone back on in place.
Don't think I've ever seen a red in a friendly

I'll have that thanks

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooooo

 

[forrest]

The refs abroad dont pull no punches in pre season friendlies, they still stick to the letter of the law. Where as over here they tend to have a quiet word or if its a tasty challenge that would normally warrent a red they usually ask the manager to sub that player off.

Is this a wind-up/joke?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Mightn't the ref be in trouble if he's shown a red then allowed another player to take his place?
