You can't judge that tackle from this photo. It's quite possible that Field smacked the ball first and it's rebounded off Ameobi before the follow through.
Anyone got a video or something of the challenge of Oshilaja by Ameobi? I was so far away I couldn’t tell how bad it was, although you can often get a good idea by the reaction of players. Taylor’s told me it was a poor challenge. Be good to try and find it somewhere.
You watch the video of it and field does get the ball first it’s then the follow through which that still shows, it’s late and is a red and a pen.
Ameobi for me was worse as it was a scissor motion and there was more intent in his lunge than the Field one. Challenge doesn’t happen if ref doesn’t bottle the red on Ameobi
Just seen both on Quest, Both tackles were red. I missed the Field one. However the one on our player by No 19 was horrendous. My initial thought was def a red then changed my mind to yellow was unsure if red. Now seen it on Quest and deffo a red. Player was going to def "harm him" come what may. This was worse than the one on Williams 2 weeks ago. Player went through Williams. I thought red but seen on replay, Yellow/possible red. No 19 on our player was a red on my initial thought. He actually turned into him and had no control. Could have seriously injured him. Thought ref was shit. Was this the one that was 4th official on Sunday and ended up ref the game? Purrington got hacked. No yellow. Lockyear gets yellow for something that was so soft. Cullen got taken out twice. No yellows and some of their players were shirt pulling and then no yellow. Linesman was also shit in front of East Stand. Gave a throw when ball didn't go out and somehow a foul when a ball bounced 3 times in front of their defender. No-one ner him but lino flagged for a free kick? What for? An invisible Charlton player must have fouled him but there was no-one there.
I think Ameobis was a robust challenge like the one done on Williams , take the ball and player , ref saw it and gave a yellow, he didn’t even give a free kick for that potential leg breaker/ penalty ... we got away with that

Ameobi was one of those orange cards, looked worse than it probably was due to the speed he flew in.

If the referee hadn't bottled that, the Field incident couldn't have then happened.
