[Albion] The Dunk sending off

[dazzer6666]

Crap ref and linos, but the Dunk decision was correct. Idiotic thing to do when already on a yellow, he'd already been given the free kick.

 

[Husty]

Got the dunk decision right but overall it was a shocking performance.

 

[Machiavelli]

Can someone confirm how many games Dunk misses.

I thought one as two yellow's, but my friend tells me it's three, as it's his second sending off.

You're right, your mate's wrong. Two yellows is a one-game ban, and Dunk hasn't been sent off this season.
That officiating team were just dire. The linesmen, but especially the one on the WSU/WSL side were simply awful. That ref was the most pedantic I've seen, and made about ten non-/decisions that should have gone for us.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I thought it was a very harsh yellow for Dunk. It appeared he was just trying to get the Brentford player out of the way to get the ball back to restart the game quickly but the ref has interpretted this as retaliation i guess which i don't hink it was.

You see players pushing others out of the way to get the ball back to take a free kick when the opponent is deliberately slowing down play and i can't remember anyone ever getting booked for this until today. The Brentford guy fell over easily but i don't think he took a dive to get Dunk sent off and the push wasn't malicious, but the Brentford player looked to lose his balance and thats why he fell. The Brentford player was time wasting by keeping the ball mmaking it doubly harsh imo.

Not a yellow imo hands were not raised small push their player cheated by collapsing in a heap. Seen far far worse in the penalty box every time there is a corner

A di if it had been the other way round? You'd have been screaming for the Brentford player to go. Dunk was on a booking, he'd got the free kick and he pushed the player over. He cost us the game today. Simple.

Halford looked as though he might have picked up a calf injury near the end (?) ..so might see Hughes and Greer Wednesday

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

As a referee, I guess I'm best placed to comment.

They were pretty poor today, bizarre decisions all round. That said, the 2 yellows for Dunk were probably the only correct decisions given. First 20 minutes werent that bad for the ref, but it just went downhill.

 

[BensGrandad]

CH said Halford and CMS are very doubtful for Wednesday

Thats interesting because when he was interviewed by Radio Sussex he said he didnt know...but it wouldn't surprise me

Yeah leaves us a bit short at the back suddenly

 

[Justice]

CH was having a right go at the lino on a few occasions, the one in the second half when CMS was clean through was not offside because the ball rebounded of a Brentford player.

Ah well. Not all bad news then!

That doesnt put a player onside now, it used to but not any more.

That looks nailed on, and as BG says, CMS looks like he picked up an injury.

The secound yellow wasn't for the challenge, it was because after the challenge dunk ran over to the player and pushed him over with both hands. Which was at least a yellow. Also the first yellow was an obvious yellow .
so a deserved sending off. Dunk should of known better.

I agree though if the assistant had done his job and flagged for the foul as soon as it happened it would have taken the heat out of the situation and I v much doubt that dunk would have reacted as he did. As the lino did F ALL and the ref gave the foul a few seconds later led to the red mist descending on Lewis and a def second yellow. Shocking lino I'm afraid

Maybe you couldn't see it but Dunk did stick a rugby tackle around the guys feet before pushing him. Both of those incidents could have got yellow.
The ref was pants thou.

I wouldn't have thought it was a booking if it was the Brentford player instead of Dunk as i didn't interpret as anything more than trying to get the ball back quickly by trying to move the other player out of the way to get to be able to get to the ball and take the free kick to carry on with the game whilst the Brentford player was blocking him from getting it by kicking it whilst walking away (time wasting).

I thought the keepers booking for time wasting was very harsh too.

I saw where it looked like Dunk tried to head the ball whilst on the ground as the Brentford player kicked the ball away after the free kick was awarded (looked like Dunk wasn't aware a free kick had been given and was trying to prevent the player from getting the ball and a free run on goal by trying to knock the ball away by heading it) - but no i didn't see any rugby tackle attempt by Dunk, either at the time (happened bery near to me) and on any of the replays i saw at the ground after the match

 

[rgb]

Possibly deliberate by Dunk to clear his account before his transfer to AFCB?

 

[4-p]

Hah, from my booze tinted specs it looked like he handed the guy off when he went at him after the whistle and he made a meal of it. Haven't seen a replay yet but presumably i was very very wrong. What a pity.
