Midweek Football; 27-28th January - *SPOiLERS*

Robinson sent off?? Is anyone watching it?

got it on five live, didnt know it was on tv

 

[Shamikebab]

Yep, Park is still down. Didn't look too vicious, but it was 2 footed and he left the ground.

IIRC you cant. I thought you could only appeal a red and even then it would have to removed completely (ie it cant be downgraded to yellow) or it still stands.

Is that right?

i think thats right ive heard the exact same somewhere before

 

[Ripper]

Tevez 2-0

 

[red11]

Deserved red, bloody hell watching it in slow motion.

 

[5ingh]

carson for england

 

[Shamikebab]

Why did he go for it, it was clear Park was getting there first. We're lucky not to have another injury

 

[Shamikebab]

Well even Tevez couldn't miss that

Yup, was kindof tackle that's always going to get a red at the moment.

2-0, Tevez, Carson dropped it

2057: SENDING OFF (Paul Robinson, West Brom)
The Baggies captain is off and it is a very, very harsh decision. He and Park go for a 50-50 and Park gets to the ball first, but referee Rob Styles must think Robinson's studs are up and, to the astonishment of the West Brom fans, players and bench, he shows a straight red. "If that's a red, we might as well all go home," says Paul Jewell on BBC Radio 5 Live.

 

[Shamikebab]

I wouldn't say it was very, very harsh. Not that malicious but still dangerous.

 

[red11]

Paul Jewell can go eat a burger, reckless challenge to a ball he was never getting almost breaking Park in half.

Not sure really, it is little more than a mistimed challenge, but it's so badly mistimed that Robinson flies straight into Parks body (rather than a coming together of legs). In that respect I think it can be seen as a careless/dangerous challenge.

Its a clumsy full bore tackle, its the type of challenge that could do real damage, no intent in it other than to put himself about, but it was dangerous.

Nice to see its not "the players adapting to Bebatov" but "Berbaov actually putting some effort in" that is seeing him make an impact recently.

Neville has had a couple of great games recently, but tonight it sounds like he is a real liability, we could easily concede a goal ...or two....tonight

actually i think there has been some adapting on both sides, they seem to read some of his flicks a lot better now and he is putting himself more. also i think that's the first time you've called him berbatov.

tottenham....

the only team in the prem where you dont feel confident even with a 3 goal lead...

 

[Shamikebab]

also i think that's the first time you've called him berbatov.

[The Pat]

Did Bale start warming up or something?

I think it is the first time lol

Its definitely on both sides, and its really starting to work (and just at the business end of the season too)
