Ken Hairy 4,206 Posted March 6 If that's not successfully appealed I will lose what very little faith I have in footballing authorities completely. Utter joke of a decision. I want to see Madeleys bank statement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,026 Posted March 6 Dont think we've got any alternative but to play wing backs for the next few games as they are our best attacking wide players... Gunn Hanley Duffy Gibson Stacey Nunez McLean Giannoulis Sara Sargent Barnes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,482 Posted March 6 It would be four I believe, which pretty much scuppers our playoff hopes with our wide options already paper thin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds legit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clever Farke 74 Posted March 6 We should absolutely appeal. Even if the clowns give him an extra game it won’t make much difference. Wasn’t even a booking let alone a red. I can’t believe I still watch football, the state of it. I gave up watching this game as soon as the red came out. Just beyond pathetic. I feel sorry for the paying public who have been cheated once again. This is not the game I grew up watching. It is absolutely xxxx what the game has become. Soft as xxxx. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually I'm in the camp of 'player was stupid for giving the ref the opportunity', and I was expecting to see it and think that it was soft but justifiable. But that's never a red. There's no change of direction or angle of the leg, there's no extension, no kicking motion or anything 'violent'. I reckon that's worth an appeal.

There's no change of direction or angle the leg, there's no extension, no kicking motion or anything 'violent'. I reckon that's worth an appeal. I think it's both. Definitely worth an appeal, don't see what we've got to lose. If he's out for four games that's our season over. One more for a 'frivolous' appeal won't make any difference. And it could well be overturned. But it was still stupid of Sainz. He flicked his leg at Howson, just like Beckham did at Simeone all those years ago. It's a classic 'don't give the ref the decision to make'. It's worth saying that the ref had already spoken to Sainz for his reaction to a tackle by Ayling. He'd given him a warning. Having said all that, the club needs to work with Sainz. He's just like Emi in that his edge makes him a better player, but can be a liability. Emi managed to learn to keep the edge without getting himself sent off. We can and should criticise Sainz for tonight, but he's a huge asset for the club and we need to support him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,777 Posted March 6 I think the reaction of McLean and Barnes was pretty telling but it's worth an appeal. It's very soft and had it not been for Howson's reaction the ref would have done nothing, but Sainz makes a secondary flick of the foot to to slightly catch the player. Regardless, Sainz is totally brainless and I suspect Wagner will be having words with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 736 Posted March 6 Wasn’t Sainz’s previous sending off for two yellows? I thought this 4 match ban thing was for two straight reds. I could certainly be wrong as Goggleing the rules only brings up waffle on about Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only seen the one angle and I don't see the flick, personally. I can't see how that equates to violent conduct in any shape or form. But I do agree with the final paragraph though, because even ignoring tonight, he does sail too close to the edge at times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's a three-game ban for alleged violent conduct and then an extra game because it's his second red card of the season. Hope I'm wrong though.

Hadn't looked up the specific games. But I fear that if we've played the previous four without him, the only difference he might make in that game is to Ipswich's season, not ours. We've just got no options in that position at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope I'm wrong though. Everyone seems clear about it but I thought it was two straight reds for the extra game suspended, not two yellows. I guess I’ve got it wrong then. 🙁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
