CDMullins 498 Posted February 25, 2021 May not have changed anything but; Dalsgaard put a horror challenge in on a Sheff W player. Dalsgaard was booked (should have been red) and the Sheff Wed player had to go off for treatment - subsequently he never returned. During the time Sheff Wed had 10 men, Brentford scored their 2nd. Beyond me how a team who commit a foul can then have an advantage. They say its swings and roundabouts but we all know it rarely works like that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essex_Canary 6 Posted February 25, 2021 If a player is booked then the player doesn’t have to leave the pitch after treatment. If he was injured (which the fact he didn’t come back on suggests) then it’s strange that Wednesday didn’t immediately replace him with a sub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 498 Posted February 25, 2021 He actually did try to come back on but the referree stopped him returning. In which time Brentford scored and Sheff W replaced him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,204 Posted February 25, 2021 Bad form by the ref. You can understand why players are reluctant to leave the pitch for treatment when this sort of thing happens but the ref should allowed him back on if he wanted to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,965 Posted February 25, 2021 I’ve never understood the rule about leaving the pitch after treatment. If a team is disadvantaged by a foul by the opposition (TBF a player can be injured in other circumstances), they are further penalised by having that player temporarily removed?? Of course, if an opposing player simulates an injury against us as often happens because we don’t play like that 😉 (often as a distraction after a poor tackle), then it is absolutely fair. 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essex_Canary 6 Posted February 25, 2021 Ref got it wrong then, if he’s injured because of a foul that results in a yellow card then he didn’t need to leave the pitch in the first place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Wazzock 1,014 Posted February 25, 2021 It should have been a red card. Horrendous challenge with no chance of taking the ball. Perhaps we should tighten up on this 'taking one for the team' nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 246 Posted February 25, 2021 Maybe a 5-10 minute sin-bin for a yellow would help redress the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought it was introduced so players had to leave the pitch for treatment to stop time wasting but they still get treatment on pitch then have the pointless exercise if leaving the pitch to return.

Petriix 3,219 Posted February 25, 2021 The ref was pretty awful (as per usual). It really surprised me both how dirty Brentford were and how much they got away with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 25, 2021 The Ref for our game v Brentford is Tim Robinson who has done 2 of our games this season (home to) Millwall and Cardiff and he has done 4 Brentford games (all since 1st Dec). Brentford have won all those 4 games. Twist that stat to whatever agenda you wish 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
