A high boot at hip level, really! Also not sure how it was spot on for the decision, he looked a chunk offside, or does that not count whenagainst Arsenal?
That's the assistant's call. Jon Moss could only give the foul. And the boot caught him in the face - that's a foul all day long.
Agree with the assistant part Tom, but his head was very low whilst his foot fairly high. I see why that was given but it wasn't a dangerous tackle for me, id be well pissed off if that was against us. For me, total big club biased, again.
Just seen the Xhaka incident. Not saying he should have done this, but could a ref play advantage and then come back and send a player off when the ball goes dead or no advantage comes about?
No. Unless they have a clear goalscoring opportunity red cards for violent conduct or serious foul play must be given straight away.
Come on Tom? Do you really believe that? I am sure that I have behaved like that in past while watching a match, I am sure you have too. Maybe his reaction was not what you would expect from such an experienced and intelligent person, and it was an instant reaction. I think he apologised afterwards. But in no way do I think he is a "full-time" prick. On the other hand you are free to call any politician a pr***, as no one will argue with you on that particular score.
I'm not sure what happened to Jon Moss, but in the past 9 months he's improved massively. Maybe he was embarrassed to constantly get mentioned in the same breath as Lee Mason.
He has. I never thought he was as bad as Mason but he's now in that list of referees I have in my head where I'm happy to see that he's refereeing a Saints game.
Ryan Mason in intensive care at St. Mary's Hospital in Paddington with a fractured skull and an internal bleed on his brain. Hope the poor bugger pulls through, horrible to hear.
Awful. Makes you feel sick when they bring oxygen onto the pitch, especially with a head injury. Hope the lad is alright and no lasting damage is done.
