He made a lazy flick of his leg into the guys ankle after the ball was gone. Had the referee blown for many fouls including 2 in this melee and point of fact Perayra specifically chose not to pass the ball off when he could have done therefore one could say he premeditated a confrontation.
 
Bachmann was OK, very close, but the whole of the ball hadn’t crossed the line so he was good. Well judged by lino.
The ref had a mare, I thought. Wasn’t protecting our players at all, a couple of whom were proper scythed down. Easy decisions went their way and he had no control of the shirt-pulling and flagrant pushing (one double-handed shove left me speechless that he hadn’t blown - it was right in front of him and denied us control of the ball!!)
I agree Bachmann did well catching crosses and looked very much a quality keeper, so I guess the drop or poorly punched one that led to a goal for them was just a lack of match sharpness. But he was OK. I thought the young lad in the middle at the end did well, name escapes me.

But Gray has to go. He is just not a Premiership player. The trouble is, he’s on £75K p.w. and no one is going to pay him anything like that again, so mercenary sod he is, he just wants to see out his contract. I don’t think he’s bothered about game-time, winning matches with another team, or even honours - it’s all about the green in his wallet.
I think he has done what anyone trying to maximise their career did.. No blame in him for the deal he secured.
It was whoever signed him who cocked up IMO

True. I just don’t like him. I think he is a leech. Of money, positivity, decency... I’ll stop there. ;)

If he wants to run down his contract and we are over paying him thats down to us . Some we make a profit on like Richardson and i think we payed 2x $250k for Deeney But Gray is on a 5 year contract that still has 2 and 1/2 season left

Bloody hell, is it that long? :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
Pereyra appeal successful.

Replay next Tuesday so will be the same sort of team!
Interesting!!!!
why the hell did VAR not review this decision (and others where I felt Watford players were fouled - in particular the foul on success before the TR pen)?
inconsistent!!
 
VAR can review a yellow card and suggest that it should have been a red. Can it review a red and suggest it should be a yellow? I don't know the answer. Can anyone give information. The time some of these reviews take could mean getting a sent off player out of the shower.
 
We have had four or five red cards reminded in the Prem, but the stats still show more red cards than anyone else because the red card stats are not revised after the appeals
Double whammy
