Humpty 3,261 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Pessimism has won the day. Get in I'm buzzing for Adama was never a red. It was a red all day long. Then why wasn't it upheld? Because the panel haven't applied the rules of the games. VIOLENT CONDUCT Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made. In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

tylergomez 53 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I reckon Tony has some compromising photos of Greg Clarke in spandex. That's 2 reds overturned that I thought we'd have no chance on! :D Just said this on another thread. Mad times Link to post Share on other sites

Betamaxman 14 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's good news. I'm pleased about that. Not because we can't score without Traore, but because I like having him in the team. Link to post Share on other sites

Looks pretty clearly like a push in the face to me. Hence his head whipping back. That doesn't happen if you get pushed in the chest. Link to post Share on other sites

Footballers whip there heads back when they receive a fair tackle so I wouldn’t put it against a footballer to make a meal of being pushed in the chest. Especially a bottom of the league club already down to ten men. Christ, Rivaldo flung himself to the ground holding his face when the ball was kicked onto his shin at the World Cup years ago. Professional ootballers are the biggest pansies in sport. Dele Alli spends more time on the floor than on his feet. Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,261 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's a very impressive reaction time if so.. Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,870 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's a very impressive reaction time if so.. Well what do you think they've been practicing on the training ground these past few months, cos it certainly ain't football :D Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's a very impressive reaction time if so.. How much of a reaction time do you need mate? Especially if he poked him in the eye, as claimed, then he's almost certainly going in there thinking "if his hands come up anywhere near, down I go" and then you don't even need to think.

Humpty 3,261 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 You're going the long way round to get that answer. Traore, as we all know is powerful when he pushes you, you get pushed. You don't need to fake anything. Link to post Share on other sites
