Correct decision....but 5 players surrounding the ref to get him sent off!! Why dont we fo thst then?
Oh no, not blaming Stendel. Just think as a full back, on a booking, 1 up away from home, there's bound to be a lot of pressure on him and sometimes theres a sense of inevitability about these things unfortunately
Frustrating I know according to dowie we were starting to turn the screw now looks like we will have to hang on
Probably a booking but their players’ reactions made sure the ref gave it. We need to learn to do the same
Two yellows is only a one match ban. Pinillos warrants a game anyway, he’s done little wrong - Fryers may just edge him for a start but not by a stack. Of all the players to miss, the left back is one of the most easily replaceable thankfully. And yeah a ban for five yellows only comes when you’ve five in the same competition so I think Lindsay is ok yet.
I thought that, these days, players trying to get others booked/sent off were unsportsmanlike & should be booked! Heard the commentary & just seen the incident - Accers players will probably be very proud of themselves - pathetic!
The second yellow was fair enough, but the first one he received was laughable. Mowatt was lucky to only get a yellow for his first have challenge though, so we could easily have been playing with 10 for much longer in the game. I think we improved with 10 on the pitch too.
Yep. To be honest I thought they were both just about worth a yellow. The annoyance was that the ref didn't produce that second yellow when he blew the whistle. He listened to the remonstrations of the Stanley players, walked over to watch the fouled player writhe around a bit and then produced the cards
