Is that a free kick for the nudge or a red card for the breakage? One is the action the other the outcome. Similarly, if a player dives in and clearly tries to kick or hurt the opponent but the opponent manages to jump clear, that can still be a red card even although no contact.

Vale clearly didn’t mean it but it was reckless, wild and caught him right in the haw maws. Clear red for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare Vale's challenge to the one which put Lennon Miller out for several months. The Aberdeen player went in on him, late, high and with intent. Referee failed to produce a card of any colour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunne got a yellow for a tackle that left Mika crocked for three months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Whether we think harsh or not I just feel this was a waste of money as we were never going to be successful unless Vale was wearing a Sellik or Gers top. We move on and hopefully Moses gets a chance but guaranteed it will be Nicholson to give another midfielder and leave Bair isolated...... overthinking SK will strike again. Ps. Oh and did I ever say that Bevis is a big nice guy? 😜😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I get what folk are saying about the appeal being a waste of money as we were never going to win it. However, sometimes you just have to make a stand in order to highlight an injustice and support your player. If we just roll over and let these things pass, then we will continue to be ignored and mistreated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we just roll over and let these things pass, then we will continue to be ignored and mistreated I’d pick more obvious injustices/errors to fight. While the sportscene crew were agreeing with MFC I think there were still a number of opinions that a red was correct, even within the Motherwell support. My viewpoint was that it was never going to be overturned and that it was a reasonable call. Perhaps another ref may have went with yellow but I can understand the red. Anyway done and over now and we just have to get on with it. COYW!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that our pen claim in the last Aberdeen game was unheld. Not that it helps us much. Personally dont think it was a pen, but they have been given all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtain a medical degree to become a GP, a UEFA licence to become a manager, or a teaching degree to become a teacher. However, that in itself does not automatically make those individuals good at their jobs. They can be qualified but shite. I think the most important takeaway from this ridiculous discussion is that Kettlewell doesn't fall into the above category. He's both qualified and good at his job.

Last time I checked teams don't get relegated on their managers win percentage. Points and league placings are what matter, and we're currently sitting 9th. And we're closer to 8th than 10th. That's a good job. Not a great job, but a good job, with room for improvement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
