But this wasn't last ditch. It was stupid. But I still think we are better having him at left back before anybody accuses me of attacking Naby! He was stupid, it was harsh but the ref can defend it under the letter of the law!

Are you saying because it was last ditch it was ok? it was the same type of challenge was it not? He's honest and committed in the challenge take that away and you don't have the same player.
No, I was responding to a previous point pointing about a similar tackle he made which was last ditch. It is a question of judgement around the risk surely from Naby's perspective. I accept there was no ill intent to injure. The same type of tackle, yes but the outcome - getting the man, getting the ball was different.

Possibly but he obviously felt that he could get the ball and you know full well as I do, defenders especially full backs like to make their mark early in the game. Also both JJ and Bowyer have told him to show a bit more nastiness and I wouldn't be surprised if those words weren't ringing in all the players ears as they left the dressing room. Taylor in fact is on record as saying we were regarded as a soft touch in the past. Anyway getting back to the actual sending off no red for me, hope it's appealed and gets overturned.
watched it several times, agree with point that we would of been up and shouting if it had happened to one of ours. Similar in my view to Pompey challenge on Lyle and didn't think that was a red either.
One footed, in control, not very late, but slightly high. I can see why a cnut like Kettle gave it but I don't think it was a red. Pillock's sliding double footer that just missed was worse, and that only got a yellow
this as well, commented to my mate at the time 'I guess he had to connect to get a red for that attempt'
He could have broken the bloke's ankle. Forget taking the conditions into account, he didn't slip, he threw himself into it. Forget it was only 39s into the game, a bad, late tackle is bad and late no matter what time it happened.
If that had been the other way round, I'd have been furious if the ref had bottled it and given only a yellow.
Hmmm, 63% plays 36% in favour of 'Yellow at most', wonder if there'll be cries for a second vote?
If it was a Wimbledon player the vote would be the other way round. You can talk about the sending off till the next fa cup match fact is the lino and ref give him the elbow. These refs now should be helped by technology. Dazzler21 has watched the tackle 321 times slowed it down as much as he could and told me sarr got the ball. These officials get one look at an incident at normal speed. No doubt in true CL tradition we will be discussing this till the cows come home.

At worst a yellow.
Also Waggy spoke to the lino... Ref spoke to the lino... this wasn't the best angle for the lino to see it from really was it.
Seen refs give yellows for worse and reds for less. I reckon it’s worth an appeal as three games is a big miss.
(And don't we all know that the Nabster is a bit of a pussycat anyway? Don't think he would deliberately go in to hurt an opponent).
