Pedro was dumb for what he did And he def owes the lads a pint However Lets also talk about his goal Absolute quality
Cracking point is that after going down to 10 men on 13 minutes at Bristol City. Well done City. Ruben talking on RH is not happy with ref...No committal on sending off. But apparently according to Pedro he didn't touch their lad. Gaffer not pleased with ref on pen. Sounds as if the bloke fell for it. Singled out Pandur for praise. Proud of the lads and we have a decent squad. Said if it was 11x11 we'd have the 3 points.
If it’s classed as ‘serious foul play’, then it will be three. Club should appeal it though based on the fact Pedro pulled out of the challenge to avoid injuring the opponent.
personally i think pedro was full of adrenaline after the goal, and he jumped in to block the ball with his legs, instantly realised hes gone in way too harshly and backed out no malice at all from him but i also see how the ref sent him off without var good lad he is and i think it benefits us going forward, one of those 'defining' moments for me with how we stood up and defended excellently
Valuable point that today. Sounded like a very good team performance effected by some crucial decisions against us. Forza City. UTT.
I don’t know but appeals considered ‘frivolous’ can add an extra match to the suspension so a three-match ban would become a four-match one.
If it is a 3 match ban then we should definitely appeal it. It wont be seen as a trivial appeal and it may get reduced
From the Bristol forum - "No idea who he is and never noticed him before, but based on 90 minutes would sign him in a heartbeat! He did this weird thing where he caught the ball, will never catch on..." It's obviously a bit tongue in cheek with regards to catching the ball, but the thing is, I've always felt Pandur does catch more than most goalkeepers. They often commit to parrying or punching. He does occasionally too but he also catches stuff that I expect him to parry nearly every match. He also did this thing where he raced out to beat an attacker to the ball, Burnsy criticised him for not collecting it but I think he was actually using a clever technique that I've not really seen before. He tried to keep is body out the way and just kind of stab/punch the ball away from the attacker so as not to give away a penalty.
