The sending off

Yes mate unlike most on here I go to the  game.   From the kip, two footed, plain as a pikestaff.

 

I go too. That seems to be the only thing we have in common.

 

From the South, it looked a routine tackle gone slightly wrong. A yellow perhaps.

 

Game has gone mad if that gets you sent off.

If anyone follows Dale Johnson on Twitter they’ll see he’s posted a still of FF getting a full set of shin high studs.

 

Intent. No question

 

Definite red.

In the rules it's a red. Personally I think a yellow would probably have been fairer but sod it. The amount of times since Fernando arrived he's been hacked down only to be accused of simulation we deserve one to go our way.

The referee will quote excessive force. Thought it was harsh from the Kop, looked like 2 players diving in from where I was sat. 

Liked a good solid tackle to me

 

We'd be screaming for heads to roll if it was one of our players sent

[TrickyTrev]

It was a clear red card all day long.

 

He follows through straight into Fessi’s shin with his studs. 

 

Awful tackle.

Ipswich players were claiming he was faking it to the ref.  Personally I think anyone who has the temerity to tackle Fernando should be sent off.

Still think a red was justified. Have seen similar and worse only receive yellows so I guess the red is a bit harsh. Like I said yesterday though, it was a red and no amount of appealing and bleating will take the 3 points off us. Unlucky tractor boys.

Bad tackle, could have been reyt dodgy but for ff's quick feet. A player got sent off for diving yesterday, good. But not the same as diving in with studs showing

[oldishowl]

If their manager is so convinced it was a decent tackle and not a red then obviously he will appeal it.

 

Somehow I don’t think he will

Clear red. Could have done a lot of damage.

Correct decision and actually one of the best the ref made all game!
