Match Thread Bournemouth vs Everton

[Azzurri]

Sadly in this day and age that’s a red. He’s been had off there, as soft and pathetic as the rules are. Although I’m not sure why Smith can also make contact with his head and not even get booked.

Is it cheating from Smith? Possibly. It is the sort of snide we could do with? Possibly.

Who's this referee? Never heard of him.

Lee Probert.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Why do the referees have an agenda against us?

Because half of them grew up creaming off over Dalglish and Hansen but then told the FA they support Leyton Orient.

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Not even a red for me. Tell them to pack it in, book them both and get on with it

A bit of pragmatism from the ref would be nice, wouldn’t it?

 

[hktoffee]

He’s been kicked about with absolutley no protection from the refs the last 2 games, I’d be frustrated too.

Can he achieve anything by doing these stupid head-butting?

 

[Goat]

What game are you watching

Arsenal vs West Ham.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

It's one of those reds that is worthy of a red for the sheer stupidity, but it's never a red in hindsight. If the little rat hadn't reacted and the ref saw it, he never would have given it.

 

[BlueToff]

Well surely that's the game now. Coleman has been woeful, Richarlison was hardly involved until his red card and Davies passes the ball back to Bournemouth every chance he gets. Was excited for this game, not so much now. Going out for the second half.

nice and committed

Why else flick your head into someone else’s but to hurt them?

If you want to hurt someone you don’t flick it.

 

[Harryflashman]

I’m annoyed at the decision and I’m annoyed at the player for giving the ref that option , like I was with Jagelka really .

 

[dancing llama]

Need VAR so Smith would also have been sent off for being a snivelling bell. Daft of Rico though.

 

[RomanReigns]

bring bernard on and let him run riot

It wasn’t a headbutt though was it?

 

[Azzurri]

I mean, that wasn’t to hurt him. Surely. It’s a red card, but it wasn’t an attempt to hurt Smith.

On the plus side all the chasing we are having to do by going down to 10 men should do wonders for our fitness.
