[Albion] Why was Fab sent off?
- Thread starter kevo
- Start date
Will be interesting to see what action, if any, is taken against Nuno and Gibbs-White. The former clearly screaming 'f***ing ****' at the ref repeatedly and the latter absolutely losing it with the officials and appearing to offer a punch up in the tunnel to our manager?

I've just watched the whole incident again and Fab seems fairly calm whenever he is in shot as do his assistants. No evidence of shouting and swearing unlike Nuno and the Forest ratboy, both of whom were in the faces of the officials wagging fingers and shouting abuse. The coverage didn't show Fab immediately after the tackle though so maybe that's when his "transgression" occurred, likely telling ratboy what he thought of his tackle. If I was Fab and I was only a few yards away when ratboy nearly snapped JP's leg followed by Jones saying he got the ball I might have said a few choice words in a slightly elevated tone.
As for the tackle itself, he did make contact with the ball but his foot slid up over the top of the ball and got JPs legs in a scissor action with the other foot. A red card tackle imo.

Noticed also that Fab had the presence of mind to pass a message off to Crofty and Dunky. He did this straight away rather than pointlessly standing there arguing

In my humble opinion from the get go the ref , ruined the game yesterday. Don't know if anyone else heard it, but pretty sure I heard the Forest 'supporters' singing "Rob Jones, he's one of our own" ?

Never mind.
Found the answer to my own question which was as I thought:
”… managers may [also] complete pre and post-match media duties, even if several of them can't stand it. However, they can not do a touchline interview as the rules outline that coaches are not allowed to be pitchside two hours before or after.”
Guess who you see at the top of the page when you open the link to the article quoted

I think Arteta should be shown a red if he actually steps INTO his technical area during a game.
Don’t think so. The Forest forum where worried when the ref was announced.
Was that before or after their player got a second yellow?

His dismissal isn't yet showing on their website (even though the player bookings have been added).
I'll look again tomorrow.

They did - after a stadium chorus of “you’re not fit to referee.” Thought theirs was a funny response
Ps. Forest thought he was poor too

Forest don't like Rob Jones. At all. Ironic, as that probably played into them getting every 50/50 decision going their way in the 1st half.

Silly old bat
I doubt it. Looking on Wikipedia (I know) Forest have made official complaints to Howard Webb about him, and seem to have been on the end of some awful decisions in various defeats.
Meh, they can shut up like all other ref moaners including ours.
If the ref makes a couple of bad calls, teams will simply have to use the 55-60 minutes of effective game time to put the ball in the opposition net. In every game every player makes a thousand decisions on where to move, how to play, what run to make - everything. These decisions are the important ones. The handful of bad decisions a ref will make in any game is a poor excuse not to win a game.
Forest are tinpot though and have spent more of the last few years whining about refs than they've done developing their football. Its a good way of getting absolutely nowhere.

Fairly sure it was "It's all about me, it's all about me, Rob Jones, it's all about me"
