Just seen the Brentford red card. Never a red. And that’s not even thinking about the double jeopardy stuff. Just wasn’t a red card challenge.

DENYING A GOAL OR AN OBVIOUS GOAL-SCORING OPPORTUNITY (DOGSO)

Where a player commits an offence against an opponent within their own penalty area which denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity and the referee awards a penalty kick, the offender is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.), the offending player must be sent off.

If pushing is akin to shoving, it's a red all day long.

When push comes to shove it WAS a red.

Yesterday was magnificent, high scoring rugby all day, topped up with FA cup on tv, nothing to mad in the boxing late on, and no Everton.

Crackerjack!

Those rules seem pretty ridiculous. Can’t think of any occasions where a hold in the box has been given a red as well as a pen.

I may be wrong but just can’t think of any.

That challenge elsewhere on the pitch gets a yellow in my view. Yes denied a goal scoring opportunity but that’s why the pen is given.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Great excitement at the bridge......

 

[Aberblue]

Chelsea have just missed a pen.

 

[Sadken]

Chelsea have just missed a pen.

Why give it to sterling,he's crap .

 

[Brigadier2]

Sterling been awful missed three good chances and a penalty, blocked a goal bound shot, Chelsea should be 4 goals up here.

 

[Davideeyore]

Just an observation but 2 games that I've caught on telly Man City and now Chelsea, after the 3 goals, there was no 'limbs' in the crowd celebrating. It was basically everyone seated and gentle clapping. They're certainly no match for Everton fans that's for sure.
