Madines Challenge

According to Cardiff manager Mark Hudson Madine had told them at half time he was going to do Ng and that they warned the ref and the fourth official, if that's the case he's a very lucky boy and could have cost us big time
 
He is lucky to stay on. Funny, he gets lots of buffetting about and manhandling as goes with the role, has had well documented issues off field, but it’s pretty rare for him to get involved in nasty stuff on the field. My reaction at the time yesterday was that it looked deliberate and “non-football” so not sure how the ref saw it as a yellow but maybe it’s karma sorting the Lavery red at sheff utd!
 
It's anecdotal evidence, FA can't act on that, the ref saw it as a yellow, that's it.
Correct 👍.
However Gary is becoming a bit of a naughty boy. He did stamp on a Blackburn player earlier in the season which wasn't seen by the match officials so he got a retrospective 3 match ban.
Yesterday there was certainly intent but probably not a lot of contact judging by how quickly Ng recovered.
But the FA work on the basis of not undermining decisions made by officials on the pitch so it's not going to be overturned. He might be watched a bit more carefully in the future and probably will at the very least be on Santa's naughty list. 🎅

Same as their penalty shout when Robinson was booked for diving. Bowler at Cardiff last season. What goes around...
 
You don’t see challenges in Championship games that are not covered by Sky being retrospectively picked up on.

No reason for this to be, and the red had a clear view and made his decision.
 
We'd be absolutely furious at this if it was the other way round. Should have been sent off and went on to score the equaliser.
 
We’d be absolutely furious if a team as shit as Blackpool had turned up and the manager had failed to get 3 points and left us in the relegation battle.

Listened to some Cardiff fans walking back into the City after the game. They think they are going to be relegated - transfer embargo now in place.

i thought their manager was fairly clueless, he didn’t have an answer to the Poveda change at half time, which only turned us into a competent balanced side instead of the first half rabble.

Cardiff need to be careful here. By their own admission Madine was reacting (verbally) to something that had happened between the two players in the first half. Do they really want the truth about that incident to come out and risk their player getting an even bigger sanction than Gaz?
 
Yeah the ref fucked up and deemed it a yellow so no action should be taken.

Just making a comment on how we whinge about these decisions going against us, we also got away with a stonewall penalty!

It goes some small way to balance the decisions we have been on the wrong end of. More to come hopefully.
 
We moan enough about many ref decisions, let's just accept that he knew what he was doing.
Maybe he'd seen one or two things happening from both sides and took a decision which he thought was deserved.
Who knows??
 
Just like they did when Bowler was tripped by Wintle last season. Swings and roundabouts.
Wasn't he pushed in the back when he was just about to pull the trigger.
After the game mate of my mate Cardiff fan sat behind the goal shook his head and said we got away with one today.
 
TV replay: Ng rolled around like he'd been shot, paused, looked at the ref, then rolled round again He was feigning injury, having barely been touched.
Big Gaz was a bit naughty and the intent was there; however, I find it hard to believe that he was telling everyone at half time of an intent "to do Ng" as claimed by their whinging manager.
Without Gaz roughing up the opposition, our forward line would be toothless. His shoithousery is essential to our team.
These things all balance out over a season - yellow card, NFA, move on 🧡

Cardiff player" Hey Gaz the lads say you do a great Roy Keane impression. Gaz" Howay man let me have my half time cuppa first and I'll show you later.Cardiff player" Ok Gaz I love a bit of pantomime this time of year."
 
I fear the worst for him from the FA, It was a similar tackle to his tackle which resulted in a ban from them earlier in the season.

See earlier posts Curry; the opinion is - Gaz got a yellow and therefore cannot be further punished.
The previous occasion was missed by the ref, and therefore went unpunished during the game - hence a retrospective ban.
Note to Ng the big baby: Don't wind up big Gaz or you'll regret it 🤣 🧡

What a set of gaylord tell tales Cardiff are.

Blabbing to the ref, fourth official etc. Pathetic, just like their mascot with a French flag. No sense of irony about losing to England then?
 
What about last season against Stoke when JG was deliberately pushed into the advertising hoarding by Fletcher, who went on to score the winner. No foul, no retrospective punishment. Swing and roundabouts. What goes around comes around.

Spot on, and I'm really surprised that one or two appear to have forgotten that, and chosen to criticise Gaz for roughing the opposition up.
I wouldn't want to see Gaz do that every week & get a red card, but his challenge got everyone going and that eventually earned us a draw.
Hats off to the big guy 🧡
 
With players being red carded nearly every week for Blackpool . It was a stupid thing to do and he is one of our most senior players . We could have been down to 9 men with no goaly after Grimmys dodgy save . What is going on with these players . No wonder we are losing games when the opposition has more players. He should have been off.
 
Read 3 Sunday papers this morning (no I don’t get 3 delivered) and every one running with the story it was a deliberate stamp, he even boasted he was “going to get him” earlier in the game.

I’d be surprised if the FA/EFL don’t chase this story up and punish Madine.

He didn't boast. The Cardiff manager is the one reporting it. Snitch.

Which FA official heard him say that ? ? ?
It was just hearsay by the Cardiff manager. Big Gaz got a yellow, let's move on.

The ref called the pen correct.


Can see watching it back in slo mo, was already going down before he was near him.

If affine thinks his twilight is all about retribution then cheerio

FFS jaffa it's 3rd hand and means nothing. As already said the ref saw the foul and Gaz got the yellow... nothing more can be done.

Better get Scrafters writing stories after the match so we can a few players banned. Probably best to send him to watch Shef Utd on Boxing Day so they get banned before we play them.
May as well send John McD from Lancs Live and lets try and get 6 or 7 banned. 😂
 
I was there. It looked worse live than what I have seen on TV. It was hard at the time to see the exact connectivity. At the time I thought it was a potential red but now seeing it on TV - I will stick with a yellow
 
The most shocking thing about all this is our fans aren't saying ref's decisions do seem to even themselves out over a season.
 
We'd have been livid if that had been one of our players..
Maybe Madine wanted to spend Xmas at home.😉

The referee was our MOTM.

Not often we can say that.
