Match Thread Coventry v Leicester

Certainly not as bad as the commentator is making out. Actually think the penalty tackle was worse.

Yep.

 

[lazzer]

He has been a walking red card this season his luck ran out. That said theres is a red too.

Absolutely agree.

 

[homer]

Abduls an idiot for making the challenge in the first place

No need at all

 

[Miles Away]

Well, this will be a really interesting second half.

Sensible to bring on Albrighton for Casadei I think.

 

[TommyK]

He's been frustrated this half. Almost reacted early in the game.

He's been off form recently so a break might actually help him

If that's red then it should be ten men on both sides

Definitely. Think the ref bottles the Cov red because he’s given the penalty.

 

[glyn]

Just seen it again.

It could be a red to be fair but it looks a pretty harsh one. I still think he's late but he's not high or studs up so a yellow seems far more appropriate.

Can’t get too upset about it being given, but a yellow would also have felt reasonable. Hey ho, just keep it tight now.

Wasn’t in the game at all really.

 

[Micky]

The referee looks scared.

 

[Willlow]

If he doesn’t give the pen, he doesn’t send him off. Ref has reacted to the fans… so weak

I agree with this. He’s played a lot of football for a 19 year old.

And now he’s stayed home from the AFCON for 44 minutes of football for us. So imagine he’s very frustrated with himself now.

Yep. He’s in far over his head. It’s pretty obvious. More to come I fear.

 

[tedfoxxx]

He’s had one of those in him all season. Completely daft decision.

It would have been a yellow and a bollocking if he hadn’t just given us a pen though.

Agree that the ref is shitting his pants, doesn’t bode well for the second half.

 

[Micky]

If Abduls is a red, their centre back must get a red for his challenge on Dewsbury-Hall.

 

[Thefoxinoz]

Bloody hell, the bloke lunges into a tackle studs first and it's not a red card!!

 

[tedfoxxx]

Not this ****ing ballbag again. He’s obviously recovered from seeing Mavididi sit on an advertising hoarding.

 

[big_mac4824]

Have you actually seen it? I mean, o don't even know why it's a discussion. Ball or no ball, his studs are on KDH's thigh! The referee should have sent him off.

red card yes however, the defender played the ball into KDH, KDH did not have control of the ball, perhaps it was given for a serious foul in the box?

 

[Thefoxinoz]

If Abduls is a red, their centre back must get a red for his challenge on Dewsbury-Hall.

Can't agree, his was a follow through that you'd have to say probably wasn't meant.
