Benteke's 2 yellows

Post by stripes » Thu Dec 17, 2020 4:40 pm

just seen these on SSN. both shocking decisions. obviously cant be overruled by VAR. can you appeal to get a two yellow sending off rescinded?

I disagree.
Pundits going on about jumping for elevation. No issue with jumping, however, twice he then spread his arm across the defenders face. He moved his arm out not in, on the way down!

Bad decision any day of the week but they can’t complain the lad from West Brom sent off playing against them was also a bad decision, it’s just evened itself out where you least expect it, you’ll see more oddball decisions maybe even tonight it’s that kind of season.

Referees adhering to the FIFA project to make the game unrecognisable for the true fan and all aided and abetted by many players who can't lose a ball wihout throwing themselves down onto the pitch to try to con the officials.

What was worse was the foul given against tarks on half time vs grealish. That’s as good a tackle as you will see. Absolutely shocking.

Why Grealish wasn't booked for shoving tarks over? Other way round Grealish would be still face down

agreed. shocking. surely only a matter of time before we play to a var whistle. the red seemed to be losing grip of the game as the half went on

It was given against Brownhill for pulling him back wasn't it?

No Tarks blocked the ball with the outside of his boot. The reason the ball went upfield from Tarks, Grealish didn’t dive but it was never a FK.
