We thought it was red all day long but the more I watch it the more I see the direction that Kenny's leg is going in and connecting to divert the ball. I've read elsewhere that the ref had a decent game. He was shocking. Got all the small shitty niggly stuff wrong .
From where I sit I couldn't tell if it was a foul or not. From that video I can't either if the ref can't from where he is he cannot send anyone off but it defiantly wasn't simulation.
Really? That the only option, 1980s football. How about playing it out without the suicide passes? Putting it into row z gives them the ball back.
Agree about the ref. Our midfield were really working hard to win the ball back and get us on the front foot, but ref looked to be making it a non contact game and was very fussy - probably why we were all expecting Dougal to walk.
I don’t mind Evans. It always seems like we beat his teams & when we battered them 4-0 he couldn’t stop singing our praises. The Dougall incident was brilliant. Straight away everyone was like ‘**** he’s getting sent off’ then he seemed to walk to Lindsay & I’m thinking ‘he’s going to send wrong man off’ & then he pulled yellow out for Toney & everyone just seemed to burst out laughing it was that much of an obvious red card. I doubt they’d have got anything from the game but with about 20 mins left against 10 men they might well have put pressure on us & you never know so I can see why he’s annoyed.
Evans didn’t mention the smack in the face of a Barnsley player that should have been a red card! I wonder why not!
I really dont understand this thread, if u whatch the replay Dougall clearly gets the ball, never touches Toney who dramatically throws himself to the ground. He doesnt even argue the yellow that vociferously. He knew he'd been sussed. We didnt get lucky or get a favour, we just unusually got the right decision.
Doesn't look to get the ball to me. He's diving in in one direction and the ball goes completely the other way in exactly the direction it would if Toney had tapped it forwards. Surely dougall wasn't sliding in and hitting the ball back in the direction he slid from? Straight red all day long for me. Luckily it took the focus off yet another pathetic **** up by Lindsay who had a stinker
