MK 1 - Wolves 2 - a better than Saturday verdict thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scandalous. Actually worse than it looked on the still from last night.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

It was certainly a very poor challenge, and really he should have been sent off.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That challenge is the most obvious straight red you could ever wish to see.

 

[Tony Towner]

It was certainly a very poor challenge, and really he should have been sent off.

We are going to lose a player for the best part of a year though Frank if the initial diagnosis is correct. Meanwhile the player ref and linesman will all be on the pitch on Saturday. Is that fair?

 

[Kenny]

That is a disgraceful challenge. How on earth has he escaped a straight red!!! Our injury prone player is lucky to have his leg still attached.

 

[Lycan]

What the hell was the ref doing there? He was in the perfect position!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

No it isn't. The challenge was disgraceful, and I am very disappointed that the officials did not take the only course of action open to them. Was the MK Dons player cautioned for that assault?

 

[Kenny]

He got a yellow

Yes, he got a yellow, so nothing more will come of it. It's always easy to get at you because your are a ref and on this occasion I really don't mean to, but he needs to be held to account for that. Ultimately we won, ironically the change it brought about probably helped us, but we now have a player that won't be on the pitch until 2017 and he's had zero justice for it.

There's been worse.

I would be very interested to hear what the assessor said afterwards. And even more interested to know why the player was not sent off. At the worst, the referee will get a couple of weekends off, but all referees are constantly made aware that challenges that are reckless, out of control or dangerous should always result in a red card being shown. That challenge was all three, and on this occasion I have no intention of defending the referee.

 

[Tredman]

I wish I could get away with a complete fuck up at work with only a couple of weekends off.

That sort of tackle could end a players career and all the referee gets is max 2 weeks paid leave?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I doubt it is paid leave, but he really needs to explain why he did not send off the MK Dons player.

 

[broughtonwolf]

Zyro out for 10 - 12 months

 

[Tredman]

I doubt it is paid leave, but he really needs to explain why he did not send off the MK Dons player.

Even if it is unpaid, the outcome could possibly be Zyro never being the same player again:

Zyro out for 10 - 12 months

Rank gross incompetence, would only be one outcome in a sane workplace.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

shit, he simply had to walk for that, dirty bastard!

 

[FrankMunro-371]

The incident at Milton Keynes last night is one reason why referees should be allowed to explain their decisions. The referee saw the challenge and cautioned the player. I think most people would agree that it was a red card offence. I would like to hear the referees explanation as to why he only cautioned the player.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Red card isn't justice. Should
Be banned For Months. It's assault and deliberate!

 

[The Bear]

Jeez. Terrible challenge. What did the ref even need to consult his linesman for?

 

[Parkins left foot]

Only had commentary on, but seeing the pictures of that the MK player should not be allowed anywhere near a football pitch for a long time

A studs up tackle at knee height can be nothing more than a potential career ending challenge
