Bristol City 1 - 2 Wolves: Verdict thread

[Alan]

Batth's studs land flush against Magnusson. If that's not a red card I don't know what is.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He absolutely nails him Dan, he comes down on the Bristol players ankle. If his foot had been planted Danny would've ripped it off his leg. There's no need to go in that forcefully.

He's hardly flown in like Henry at Wigan.

Don't think we're going to agree here. As for the "if that was Jota, you'd be calling for a red card" chat (not from you), thank you for telling me what I think.

I have no problem calling our players out when they should be sent off. Alf at Blues and Bennett at Wednesday for example.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think by trying to relate it to other incidents (and Jota has been pulverised at times let there be no doubt) that is really missing the point. The ref isn't taking that comparison into account. He saw the challenge and he made a decision. Having watched it several times I think he was wrong, but I can understand where he was coming from. As I said previously though, we have got away with it because thankfully we won the game. Also we have plenty of defensive options so we can cope without Danny while he serves his ban (if we are unsuccessful in appealing it). I genuinely am glad we are appealing, but I also feel we haven't got a snowball's chance in hell because all the referee has to say was that the lunge was reckless and endangered an opponent.

The one I'd compare it to in recent times is Coady's red at home vs Brighton. Loose ball in midfield, both players go in strong facing straight on, Wolves player gets there first but goes in too strong.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Coady is two footed there. Touch and go whether he gets to the ball first too whereas Danny was clearly first to that challenge last night.

Bonus dumbass challenge from Scotty Golbourne for the pen on that video.

 

[Alan]

Poor Golbourne. He was no world beater but to this day I can't think of a good reason we sold him.

We had Tommy Rowe remember who once scored a few headers from corners for Peterborough so in Ken's mind was much better in the air.

I bloody love Jota's reaction to that equaliser. Absolutely love it.

Ah, yes, I also remember strength and power being very important to the manager who signed Nathan Byrne. :zytrafumay:

Yep, our Ken loved power. Then spent £3.5M on Joe Mason...

Having watched the incident several times, I still think the referee was correct in showings the red card to Batth. But if Wolves are appealing it, and win it then I will gladly hold my hands up and say I was wrong. But I doubt very much that any appeal would be successful.

And this is not trolling, but me giving my point of view.

Opinion is sufficiently divided that I can’t see how an appeal will succeed.

The appeal process makes little sense. Red cards that should never be appealed are withdrawn and fail for ones that should be. All a bit hit and miss.

We will appeal and I doubt the ref will say he got it wrong so it will stay a red.

Yeah me too!!

Said it last night but it's all due to it being a lunge,that tackle (well a winning of the ball really) without a lunge isn't even a card.
The lunge means "ooh it must have been late"
Basically, it pretty pointless any player going for a ball, if after they have won it they might follow through on a player who doesn't get there in time.

 

[Siggy]

So the debate rages on for the red card, whilst I don't think it's a red I can see why hes gone. Batth went in hard and whilst there is no malice and he did win the ball first if anything else is in the way it's being taken. I think the appeal is more of a public way of saying the club are behind Danny and I applaud them for that, they surely know we won't win.

As for comparisons the Milijas red card v Arsenal is similar but Nenad couldn't run fast enough to go in with more force.

I know we were the other end of the pitch but when Danny went in for the challenge i thought fuck straight away, i knew he was gone. A few years ago i think it's a great challenge and applauded but the game has changed whether that's for the best or not that is a different argument but I can see why the ref has sent him off. I don't think Danny has gone to try and hurt him but he has gone with a lot of force which has resulted in Danny's studs landing on Magnusson's boots in the follow through.

What i will say though is Danny has given the ref a chance to send him off for going in with so much force for a meaningless tackle. Later in the game Coady had to make a challenge but instead of going to ground he stayed on his feet got his body behind the ball and put his side foot through it, that's what Danny should have been doing or just getting in the way of Magnusson's clearance. As it is i think that now means Bennett will be back in and he's been better imo, i thought Danny was poor before he got sent off.

A day or so later I can see why the ref gave it but I do not agree with it. I think we were hyped and we made an early statement just like Jones did on McMahon back in 88. If Danny makes that tackle (was it a tackle?) in the 89th minute nobody would have raised an eyelid. Suspect it's a small price to pay if we don't want the thuggery of past times to counter the technical abilities afforded to the current Wolves.

spot on. a 50/50 or 60/40 has a good potential for damage so based upon refs’ reactions you have to go in pussy footed rather than robustly or risk an over-reaction on a decision. and imagine it happening on the goal line - how do you not try to stop a goal with a tackle. I don’t see a dangerous tackle from Danny, just a potential coming together. he hasn’t launched with intent to hurt, it’s just close to a 50/50 situation with an honest attempt for the ball.

no chance of winning an appeal.

Hadn't seen Jota's reaction before. Love it.

But if we are talking referees and inconsistency, you could argue we were lucky not to concede a pen yesterday for Boly's handball. Look at the one WBA got today.
