ossieram Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The treetards can't still be going on about this after telling the Geordies to get over it the day after 2 players were wrongly red carded!!! They wouldn't be so hypocritical surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Cant believe the Nottingham post refers to it as an x rated challenge. I haven't seen it again but looked 50/50 to me. Also don't really understand the ref playing advantage when we clearly were not in possession of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 X rated challenge? Worse than BJ punching Osborn in the nose or the vicious kick to the throat from Shelvey on Lansbury? Dirty dirty Derby Who won 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 My thoughts are. Bent left his leg trailing and it was caught .. I suspect he meant it to be caught .. It wasn't fair play, it was crafty .. It was borderline in my moral code. Definitely NOT a penalty and not a real offence but am open minded as to whether it was clear cheating. Practically speaking he fell over when his leg was caught but it was his own fault so no foul .. Stay on your feet when he allegedly "went through" whoever it was ... He didn't .. Two players at full stretch going for it. In technical terms it might have been a free kick but to make a book able offence" out of it is limp in the extreme, one foot was in contact with the ground, it wasn't reckless.

Phoenix Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 One comment I read on the Forest forum just after ther game (there are some surprisingly rational ones) suggested that the cards given to Bent and Perquis, only a couple of minutes after the Johnson/Osborn incident, were a bit soft (handbags, I think he said,) probably the ref trying make sure things didn't get out of hand. Having done that, he made it hard for himself because if he had then yellow-carded Bent (again) he would have been off the pitch, hence giving him the benefit of any doubt. Apart from 1 or 2 loud-mouths, most of those following the game via the forum, didn't seem particularly upset about it. Most of their vitriol, second half, seemed to be directed at the manager playing the wrong subs, in wrong positions, in the wrong system, with the wrong owner responsible for having the wrong squad. Later postings suggested that the reason their squad is so naff is all McLarens fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
