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

[Bozza]

What would you have given?

 

[LamieRobertson]

What would you have given?

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

 

[Hugo Rune]

He crunches Pedro’s standing leg/ankle. There is a video angle of the tackle that makes it look very bad indeed. It brings in the question of a straight red. Yellow was the minimum. Perhaps one of the ‘orange card’ discussions.

 

[Sussax]

Yellow for me. Looks like he got the ball through sliding into Pedros ankle, which was protecting the ball.

So, not a "he got the ball, no foul" which seemed to be the original verdict?!?

 

[Triggaaar]

Can barely see it, as it's almost over when the clip starts.

Therefore straight red for 3 Forest players.

Better?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Better?

Looks out of control from that angle, lucky only a yellow

 

[KZNSeagull]

It definitely wasn't a good tackle but then it wasn't a penalty and Welbeck didn't foul the player who jumped miles up into the air. But hey ho, he got the correct decision in the end in this instance.
If FH was sent off for stepping on to the pitch then that is ridiculous.

It’s the day for “no shit Sherlock” obvious polls

 

[Triggaaar]

Better?

f*** me. Yes, that's a lot clearer, thanks. That's red or yellow. It doesn't matter whether he got the ball, he went straight through Pedro.

Therefore straight red for 3 Forest players.

And a ten point deduction for Everton.

Tbh the ref digs his own grave. I thought he played man then ball myself and it looked like a scissors type tackle. I’d have thought a yellow.
However ref believes he played the ball second he suggests that he should stick to his instincts. He’s been influenced by something the way Nuno reacted I’d assume Anthony Taylor said something but no idea and it was a mess.

 

[Bozza]

Is it?

The ref orignally gave no foul. Stephen Warnock on 5Live thought it was a good tackle as, clearly, do most associated with Forest.

The yellow was ultimately given after, it seems, Anthony Taylor got involved.

A red wasn't issued, but it does look red-worthy.

So, which is the duh-brain obvious answer, please?

 

[Bozza]

They're all-but-certain to take care of that themselves.

He clearly decided to give a quick decision to stamp his authority on the situation and got it wrong. He shouldn’t have done that and it summed up his day. His team (which includes Taylor and the Assistant Referee) clearly advised him that it was in fact a foul and deserving of a yellow card and the right decision was made in the end.

 

[El Turi]

He was endangering an opponent. Clear yellow, borderline red.

No, I think the fourth official had a better view of it, and told the ref he needed to book Gibbs.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

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

I think he came to the right conclusion eventually. His rash decision making on it is what has caused the who thing to really kick off.
