Sheff Utd (H) 17th April - Match Thread

[The Bear]

Might be in our favour, but makes you really ask what is the point of VAR

It wasn't using excessive force and it wasn't recklessly endangering the safety of the player. Therefore wasn't a red card.

 

[Templeton Peck]

2nd half please

Semedo Coady Boly RAN
Donk Moutinho
Traore MGW Podence
Silva

 

[Dire Wolf]

Abysmal. Utterly fucking abysmal.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

podence losing a lot of possession

Yep, but is trying to make things happen in doing so.

I think sliding your studs down someone’s ankle is endangering an opponent

 

[Derby Wolf]

Never a foul on Saiss in a million years.

 

[Nando]

Utter bilge. Boly and Moutinho the only ones even looking to try and move the ball with any tempo.

 

[The Bear]

I think sliding your studs down someone’s ankle is endangering an opponent

Any tackle theoretically endangers your opponent. In this case it usually means recklessly and with excessive force.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

This ref is very poor.

 

[t3ch]

we'd have been in trouble if he played that ball through a few seconds earlier like he should've, had a player wide open on the right

 

[Dire Wolf]

VAR checking to see if any of the Wolves players actually have a pulse...

 

[Jinky]

We’ve bemoaned a lot of refereeing decisions this season, but this chap has let RAN go over the ball with his studs up and somehow booked Brewster instead - and then Saiss turns in to trouble and falls over and the ref gives him a free kick.

This half of football has been abysmal. Bin off one of the centre backs - go to 4 and get MGW on behind Jose.

Del was absolutely on the money when he said we won’t learn anything at all from playing this team. It’s been shite.

 

[AndyWolves]

If we went first half West ham mental we'd easily win this

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Saiss knocking the ball into Podence's head on the half way line was genius.

 

[Carrotdude]

Bet all you locals are chomping at the bit to get back to see this in the flesh soon

 

[Jack Regan]

This ref is very poor.

Yet to referee ten Prem games having been promoted this season.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Total crap. One paced, boring, safety first, predictable crap.

 

[jlo]

It wasn't using excessive force and it wasn't recklessly endangering the safety of the player. Therefore wasn't a red card.

Need to see more replays but I suspect if the sides were switched we might have disagreed it wasn't a red.

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't think RAN was a red card, yellow at absolute most. Ref got it totally wrong though.

No foul on Saiss

He has let ampadu get away with a couple though.

CB for a midfielder please Nuno

You'd like to think if fans were there they'd be able to drive the team on a bit. Because they'd certainly be getting moaned at if not.

Captain Tom Moore had more dynamic movement than this team.
