That Mirallas tackle

[Super G Ted'inho]

Draconian ****er

Always am, don't get me started on criminals

The problem is then, where does it end?

Do the FA review every incorrect decision in every game, every week?

In any case, seeing retribution handed out retrospectively doesn't impact on the game that was played, nor benefit the team that might have been wronged.

That's true but it's not what most of us are looking for. Speaking for myself I want fair punishment for a crime that went unpunished or punished too lightly, to send the right message that the game is being 'policed' [can't think of the right word] correctly.

I've just re-watched the footage, Dowd stands over Suarez for over a minute, Suarez gets treatment while Dowd looks on, Suarez gets up shows him the marks, limps away with the physio with Dowd watching, Lucas points it out - all the while Dowd is touching his ear piece and waving players away. After all this - nearly 3 minutes - he shows the yellow card. Whatever the physio whispers, the evidence of stud marks are there and seen by him - he decided to ignore it.

The fact that he's got stud marks on his leg doesn't necessarily equate to a red card anyway though does it. You can clash with a player & break the skin without it necessarily being deemed a sending off offence.

It's easy to say it should have been red, given the benefit we've had on umpteen replays, but he saw it once, from 1 angle, his assistants obviously couldn't offer him anything conclusive, so he went with yellow........................(cause the meff of a physio gobbed of as well like )

Maybe the game should adopt the tennis / cricket approach and offer each team three challenges that can be used during the game? obviously, this would mean using technology too. Least then, its up to the teams to manage the use of them accordingly.

Considering the angle they were running at, I'm not exactly sure how Luis could end up with stud marks on his knee without it being a dangerous foul. They didn't even land together either.

Both going for a bouncing ball with their legs extended, he misses the ball & clatters him. Foul, yes, yellow card, yes. Red card - depends on intent, dangerous play, out of control etc. Dowd's view obviously wasn't conclusive.

It certainly does if it's above the knee - that's an illegal challenge whether there was intent or not, it's been made illegal to protect the player from serious injury. There's no question that Dowd didn't see it, anything else, players surrounding the ref, physio remarks whatever shouldn't get in the way of the correct decision. If there were no visible marks then granted he's unsure how high the challenge was and will err on side of caution but he ignored the injury which he just can't do - or shouldn't do, that way in trying to avoid being biased because the physio told him - which is what you claim - he's being biased anyway, towards the 'guilty party' which is equally as bad if not worse because it was the wrong decision.

As I posted earlier, IF he saw the stud marks BEFORE he got the card out.

 

[Jonesey]

Not even close to what I said or intimated, try again.

**** off Tobes - this is EXACTLY what you're saying.

So don't try and be a condescending prick - it's not big and it's not clever

 

[Jonesey]

How're things on the job front mate?

Pretty **** mate. Not a sniff so far, but there MIGHT be an opening here, in a completely different section, but I'll know more early part of next week.

I've also heard that Rolls Royce are currently recruiting and they are only across the road from us, so I'm waiting for a contact name to send my CV into them.

Thanks for asking

 

[Jonesey]

A refs job isn't based on what he's seen on TV or been told/read in the papers etc its based on fairness and neutrality of the game he's officiating in at any given time.
If a ref doesn't abide by those rules his morals are worse than the player he's targeted.

^^^^ THIS!!!


This is exactly what I was arguing whereas the likes of Toblerone will NEVER base his decision on impartiality if the players name is Suarez.

This is still rumbling on?
How many different ways are there to say the same thing?

Just keep going. You'll get there

Good luck Jonesey

Good luck with that mate, I used to work for them - very good company to work for, great name to have on the CV as well.

 

[Page_Moss_Kopite]

Just wanna echo the sentiments of the lads Jonesey.

 

[Jonesey]

Thanks all!

We heard this week as well that my stepdaughter might well be made redundant.

It never rains but it pours.......

In that case, the **** should be ****ing sacked
