He is definitely tripped but there is then some sort of intentional movement towards the ball to block it. His reaction to the card is also quite telling. Not much protest. Not much point in arguing, referees rarely change their mind over sending offs unless it's mistaken identity. Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any dispute that it clearly wasn't working? No, which is why it had changed by the 2nd half.. Link to post Share on other sites

Look, ideally, do I agree with you? Sure, we'd never play long balls and we'd play through everyone, but that's not who we are. We like the long balls into the channels, so I have come to accept that. It can be every effective and we're not (usually) an aimless long ball team. Last night though? Last night was aimless and it was in large part due to the pressure Luton were putting us under, so claiming yesterday didn't have to do with how Luton played is flat out wrong. It was a different kind of long ball last night Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,347 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I guess Brunners has gone back to just wanting to argue all the time 😞 Link to post Share on other sites

His back leg is pulled backwards and from underneath him by the contact just after he had shifted his centre of gravity and momentum back towards the ball, where else could he possibly have fallen?
