[Albion] You're the ref: Morgan Gibbs-White

[Uh_huh_him]

It looked like a red to me

Feet off the ground
Forceful
Going through the bqck of the player.

Terrible initial decision from the ref, who was doing his best to lose control of the game at that point.

 

[Seagull58]

Next poll….should be on the red shown to FH for momentarily (according to TS) stepping on to the pitch

Arteta spent several minutes on the pitch given instructions to his players without any punishment in the Arse-FFP cheats match.

To me it looked like GW was out of control and once he committed to the tackle, it was clear all day long that he was going to endanger Pedro - which he did. Watching it on the replays after the game he only touched the ball by going through Pedro’s legs. The fact it was a scissor tackle which could have been a leg breaker made it a red for me.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

It’s pretty much a TEXTBOOK red card challenge. I’m amazed there wasn’t a ‘formal’ VAR check for a red.

 

[Deadly Danson]

There just isn't a world in which it isn't at least a yellow card. It was at least a yellow card in real time at the ground and it's at least a yellow on every single viewing at every single angle.

 

[SFO]

In my day get the ball then send the man into touch........but it isn't my day anymore so the after effect means it's a red

100% This.

These days, that tackle is a straight red card all day long.

The referee caused all the subsquent problems by first signalling that Gibbs-White got the ball and there was nothing too see, before being quickly reminded that this isn't the 70's anymore and he better rethink his decision!

...and then he even got that wrong!

De Zerbi's right, the ref's are *****

 

[zefarelly]

Better?

Straight red

If JP's right foot had been planted his carer would be over.

 

[Seagull58]

Straight red

If JP's right foot had been planted his carer would be over.

His carer would be on overtime looking after him.

If that's a red then both Arteta and Pep should have been sent off in the following game - both stepped on the pitch. To be fair, I can't remember the last time I saw Arteta inside his technical area.

 

[amexer]

Certainly min yellow but surely 1 game suspension will be increased as you cant have players walking of pitch and going head to head with 4th official in a threatening manner

 

[Blues Guitarist]

And now we cross to the Nottingham Forest forum to see the results of the poll there.

I wasn't sure what to make of it, but he does seem to play the man within the movement and is clearly not in control. So I'm guessing a second yellow. Looks like the initial angle the ref had suggested he had played the ball cleanly and he was corrected.

Even if he plays the ball, this is still a red card. Studs up, out of control, wraps his legs around an opponent, endangering an opponent.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Clearly a reckless / out of control tackle, always a yellow card.

 

[Algernon]

JP very lucky to not suffer a serious injury there.
Deliberate attempt to be an absolute c-unit, and he succeeded.
Very Jay Williams ish.
Thick Neanderthal pricks like that have no place in the game.
Red card-taken straight outside-shot.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Easy decision... yellow..... (in this case the second).... as easy as Espirito Santo being sent off for feigning insanity.

As for Fab..... red card for being too young to be a manager? I have no idea!

 

[trueblue]

Forest are banging on about it breaching the ‘referee’s call’ approach this season. Their usual PGMOL victim complex. Utter nonsense. The decision wasn’t “overturned”. The ref simply took the advice of the other officials present, as they always have, right back to the days of running over to consult the linesman. Anthony Taylor had a clear view so obviously offered a different opinion and the ref realised the ball wasn’t taken cleanly as he thought.

Anyway, yellow card for me (adding up to a red, as given). The scissor motion was clear and that type of challenge is generally a booking.

Yep, outraged Forest that the initially woeful decision by Jones was corrected.

Hold on! I thought they were blaming VAR? So now it's not VAR it's the naughty assistant refs who are the problem? Well, that's alright then....

 

[Bold Seagull]

He had to go through the player to get the ball. It’s really that simple. It’s a blatant yellow, whether he gets the ball or not.

I think that’s at least a yellow 30 years ago, he’s lucky it wasn’t a straight red and a 3 match ban. He left the ground with both feet at full speed, that has been a no no for a very long time in football,.

Show's how thick they are then, as the 4th official is part of the on-field refereeing team and it was he that got involved. And in similar to just like the Arsenal fans when the audio was released of Rice's red card, they obviously have no idea that the VAR Team's mic's are only linked to the on-field team when they need to contact them regarding a decision. Otherwise they are meant to be taken as two separate conversations.

 

[Milano]

On a slight tangent - how the f*** is Gibbs-White in the England squad? Bang average player.
