Match Thread West Ham v Leicester

[fitz]

That’s utter bollocks, the ref went to the monitor to be faced with a still image of his studs on the player’s ankle. Absolutely no concession for the fact he was barged and off balance.

Yep. Carefully frozen to make it look worse before he got the actual replay.

 

[Miles Away]

Any other player and

Exactly this. Its laughable. Imagine if that had been Ndidi. Everyone would have agreed, quite rightly, that it wasn't a red in a million years.

Bollocks.

 

[Matt_B]

Defend him all you want. If that was a tackle on one of our players I’d want him gone. It was dangerous.

Add in the fact that he’s absolutely ****ing hopeless 90% of the time.

What a shithouse of a player.

Why should we consider his performance when deciding if it was a red or not?

He was shit tonight....

.... still wasn't a red card. At all.

 

[tedfoxxx]

He’s ****ing crap but it was never a red card, if he’d meant to have stamped on the **** he’d have missed.

 

[popillius]

Bollocks.

Colour me shocked.

That's the rule though isn't it?

The ref cannot review a missed push, they can only review the challenge. Hence it's a definite red.

What went on before the challenge is irrelevant.

 

[Bobbins]

If that wasn't Perez half the people saying it was a red, wouldn't be.

Totally agree. It was very unfortunate. I don't think for one minute he meant the foul. At least he was showing some will and desire to get the ball.

Why? They can consider a foul before a goal is given.

 

[Polar Bear]

Who is this impostor standing in for Ndidi?

 

[Miles Away]

I’m discussing his merits as a player. There aren’t any.

It was a clear red.

which in itself is ridiculous. No context makes no sense.

He shouldn't have been directed to look at the screen then. Those watching VAR can see he is clearly pushed and the challenge is a direct result of that.

Feels a bit like if someone grabbed your hand and slapped a third party with it.

Is it. I thought that it had to be dangerous. That requires either some intent or negligence, if you are shoved off you aren’t negligent and you certainly don’t have intent.

 

[Miles Away]

Colour me shocked.

Mate, I’d be all over any of our players for a tackle like that, especially given what we saw a few weeks ago.

 

[alex]

It was a clear red card you bunch of ****s. Perez Is a prick

Yes. I thought that. The first image he’s shown. No context.

Exactly

You're confusing the two. Clearly and obviously.
