At the time of seeing it I was angry just seeing dean getting a yellow card out, upon getting back and watching it on tv I can see why he showed a red.

For me this isn't the issue, it's the fact he has clearly changed his mind as a result of seeing the injury and I don't care what tosh he says about the assistant was the reason he changed his mind. He has been sent off for the injury he caused and not the tackle he made, that's why I'm so angry about the decision.

Shouldn't have been a red card.

Wasn't even a foul. Stephens gently side footed the ball - you can tell that from the short distance it travelled - it was Ramirez's mistimed swing into Stephens' boots that injured him.

didnt notice until just watching the clip here... thats spot on. it looked like a 50/50 at the time and initial replay looked like Stephens a bit high, arguably yellow card (though strictly speaking no offense committed)

i think it will be recinded as there's no malicious intent, and Ramirez batting away the card - itself an offense?

 

[Caveman]

Did CH comment on it?

Yes unhappy and wants to appeal.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Never a red.
But you will see reds for that tackle time and time again all over the world.

To see people use the 'he won the ball arguement' makes me think I'm back in 2005. Makes no difference.

You can't change your mind just because the injured man swatted the card out of your hand, of course the guy wants him to be sent off, he's in agony and the adrenaline makes him quick tempered and angry. It's the refs bloody job to put that aside and make an IMPARTIAL judgement regardless of the injury, instead focusing on the actions of the player who caused the offence. Was it dangerous? Yes. Was it a red card? f*ck off.

If they don't rescind the red my illusionment with football will truly be dis-'d

How that scrote Barton can get away with a premeditated assault on Beram, and Dale be severely punished for being better than that tosser Ramirez...

I will drink to Dean's early retirement, the arrogant ****

But it wasn't reckless either, he simply caught the guy out won the ball and the other guy kicked Stephens. It shouldn't even be a free kick.

Probably just about a yellow these days, and what I would call a European yellow. I struggle how Stephens is deemed responsible for Ramirez following through and not wearing pads.....

Mike Dean gave a red card for the injury....not for the tackle.
Total WANKER
If Gaston had worn shin pads, he wouldnt have got cut and needed "oxygen", and if he hadnt pulled his socks down, then Dean would have
stuck with just a yellow. ****

Yep, with characters like Barton, Dean and Ramirez football is rotten. Days like today just make me want to walk away.

I'd have left it hanging let people finish off themselves!

 

[perseus]

Yellow card for late Ramirez challenge option.

 

[The Camel]

Studs are up and they have caused considerable damage to the opponent.

I'm sure Sephens didn't mean to hurt Ramirez, but it is obviously reckless.

I think it is a red.

 

[Biancazzurro]

If two players clash heads and one cuts his head, is this a red card? Imo it's the same outcome.

What didn't help was the ref had to speak to gaston the ladybird and also Stephens 5 minutes before.

Badly got this one wrong ref.

Lovely Gaston the ladybird reference!

Then I think you would support non contact football? Roll on throwing a etc.

If you cleared the ball then I headbutted your boot on its way down, which cuts my head open, should you be sent off?
