[Albion] That was a red wasn’t it?

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I thought it was a had yellow and then I saw the replay, definite red.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I thought it was a yellow personally.

I also thought their guy should’ve been sent off for a second yellow.

 

[Sheebo]

Footballs gone soft so I’ve decided orange…

 

[origigull]

Fortunately Moder caught him low ankle. A few inches higher and it would of been red. Forest will have plenty to say about it I'm sure!

That's also what I think. Any higher up the leg and it would have been a red. WBG's one was higher up as was the donkey from ManU the same day. One was a red and one wasn't.

 

[Berty23]

It was a shocking decision not to give a red. Absolute howler.

 

[martin tyler]

If Moder hadn't been fouled, then maybe his foul should have been a red.

But surely the correct decision would have been free-kick to us and yellow card for them to the foul on Moder before he then goes flying it?

Decent argument the other way. Not sure it warranted a yellow but the little nibble before made in half a second later than he would have been.

I havnt seen any replays of what happened before Moder flew in so can’t really comment with confidence. Maybe a free kick to us, yellow for them and a red for us?

the little nibble on Moder wasn’t worthy of a yellow but did make him arrive maybe half a second later than he would have done. Might have also been a deciding factor in VAR

Defiantly a yellow saw the ref give it !

Does this mean the ref should have given a red?

 

[METALMICKY]

Pretty much that - whatever the ref gave wouldn’t have been overturned. Personally I thought he was reckless and out of control and catches the ankle. Only thing I think has saved him from VAR overturning it was contact wasn’t higher up his leg

I think you may be right but it's a new nonsense get out. They used that on sky ref watch to suggest why Gilmore went but Maguire survived. For me today that's a sending off all day long

Looks worse every time I watch it.

Don't watch it then

 

[Bodian]

Had a quick look at the Forest Forum. They basically all think it was a red, but quite prosaically also accept that their guy should have been off earlier for a second yellow - so the feeling is that it was evened out!

 

[Questions]

….

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well if Ederson stays on for what he just did then yellow was the correct decision

 

[Deadly Danson]

Going by what Gallagher says every week on Ref Watch it's a yellow due only to the height on the yellow. We've seen a lot of these recently. However, I think it should be a red regardless of height as he's out of control and lunging. But, BUT, we are absolutely due one of these going in our favour so it's a bit of payback.

The thing with the nibble on Moder was that it was petulant after the ball had long gone - those are usually yellows, even though the contact ended up being less than it could have been. Moder should have just gone down

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I was astonished it wasn't upgraded, still am. Off the ground, nowhere near the ball, catches him flush on the ankle.

Way worse than Gilmours which i still think should have been a yellow.

Saved us the match that decision

 

[birthofanorange]

No question in my mind, a straight red, and we'd be screaming for policemen if that was the other way around.
Bearing that in mind, Forest should have had a man sent off, for a second yellow card offence, so it kinda balances things out, overall.
Still a red, though...

 

[Si Gull]

It was a shocking decision not to give a red. Absolute howler.

Wow, got lucky. Hard to find anything to mitigate against a red. Surely the height shouldn't be relevant when it's off the ground and out of control?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Don't watch it then

I can’t help myself

Things even themselves out over a season or so they keep saying. On another day a red but not today and 3 points in the bag.
