You're making the assumption that the FA make logical decisions
If anything Trippier left the ground with both feet. They're very similar incidents. Carey's red card should be overturned with almost no discussion.
How are you coming up with this? More to the point, why? We've all seen the incidents. I've just watched them again. They're almost identical.
Trippiers was on De Bruyne's knee.
He reacted as he did because his team had gone from 3 1 up to 3 3 and he was utterly frustrated. Context.
3 for serious foul play
I’m not a Blackpool fan and it’s never a red card. It’s clearly a trip.
Well the game is all about opinions but the ref and the TV commentators who also aren`t Blackpool fans and I who definitely am, had no doubts it was more than just a mere trip more of an out of control thus dangerously high tackle. Maatsen actually jumped quite high but Carey raised his right foot quite high with studs showing to ensure he got his man which was why Maatsen was foolishly so angry and so they both had to be red cards but as I said above its all about varying opinions. It would be very dull if we all agreed.
Those tw@'s at the EFL will do their worst.
That's the joy of football. But all fans know it should only have been a yellow
When walking back to the car, we got chatting to a Dingle (normal number of fingers and able to communicate) and he said "Maatsen wora tool, tha' lad wa unlooky tu tak a red tho" (conversation slighly hammed-up)
Although they are two different leagues run by different bodies.
Lack of consistency is routine though. I didn't think Carey was reckless, but my belief is that if you decide to bring somebody down you have to accept that you give the ref a decision to make and you have to accept whatever decision that is. People are split on whether it was red or yellow. The ref chose red. I think it'll stay red because its not a crystal clear mistake. It's about interpretation. The issue will be the length of ban. One game or three. It's Blackpool, so expect three!
And one got told he got it wrong.
Appeal overturned serves 3 match ban
That's shit but its what they do innit. 3 matches is just plain wrong in my opinion. Same as Maatsen no doubt. Laughable.
Absolutely disgraceful decision, exactly the same as Trippier, Absolutely clueless and no consistency is there, the stupid bastards.
Whatever the merits or otherwise of the decision, the reality is that we're down to the bare bones in midfield, and there is a conundrum here in terms of whether we stick or twist. We may decide to gamble on what we have left, on the basis that players will return in several weeks time, or to allow for one or two additions, injured players may be left out of the squad altogether until January given the timing of the World Cup. It looks like a bit of a juggling act to me.
Did you mean to reply to a different post?
Dont think so - its the decision about Carey's red card and where that now leaves us. Seems like a conundrum to me but only because there aren't too many rumours around signings in midfield. Assuming that one or two do come in, the conundrum then is who to leave out of the squad. Virtue perhaps and even Keshi, given that he is a long-term absentee? Also what about Fiorini - if he is out until the end of October, he might not be available until after the World Cup?
8 weeks takes Fiorini to about 11th Oct and we play up to 12th November.
Thanks for putting this into context - I'm starting to see now where the club might go with this over the next week or so. Midfield definitely looks threadbare at the moment, so at least one of the "NEW NEW" ought to be in time for Saturday I guess. Also, If clubs are genuinely serious about signing Bowler, they probably need to sign him in advance of the next 2 fixtures to avoid the risk of injury, which should in theory allow us the time to bring in his replacement - Scully and/or Rogers maybe? Thanks again.
There is consistency. In the PL the referees are shit, in the EFL they are absolute shit, but they are both consistently shit.
My squad thing was rushed, it need looking at in terms if 433 and who play DM, AM, and left, right and central attack.
