Great save by Smithies. Don't think that was a red. Top cross by Smyth. Said Lynch FGS before game and laid on £0.
Here's to another season in the Endsligh Championship, Zenith Data and entry to the Anglo-Italian Cup. [Post edited 17 Feb 2018 20:14]

You don't think that a two footed lunge over and completely missing the ball was a red? My word! |  |

Thanks for posting, FDC.

Define lunge? Aren't all tackles that go to ground a lunge of some sorts. There seems to be an obsession with two footed. It's sounds dreadful but reality is, where do you put the other foot?
His left foot goes over the ball and makes no contact. His right foot trails along the floor and makes contact.
Free kick, yellow card for being reckless not red for excessive force. | | | |

Dixie,
when you see it in the replay, which actually provides a pretty good idea of the view that the ref would have had, it looks like a red card offense. There wasn't any attempt to take the ball, the whole challenge is feet up, sliding in sideways to take the player out who has otherwise beaten both defenders. It I think the severity and context of the challenge made it very easy to for the Ref. To b fair too, there is not much in the way of outrage or protest from any of the players involved, usually a fair indicator that he knew he got it wrong in the challenge. |  |

I’ve watched it 3 times on replay and am still not 100% it’s red. I sit in A block and it locked awful when he launched in but I didn’t see the full tackle.
Bolton were pretty toothless and didn’t really turn up. There was a general sense of apathy towards it all. No major protests from the players but at he same time Lynch’s shove is hardly one of ‘you’ve just tried to break my mates leg’
On a complete side note, NewsJack, the comedy show on BBC Radio 4 had a great sketch about the VAR. went via VAR to VAPyscholgist to VAPhilosper to VAFrenchPoet. Made me laugh. | | | |

Yeah, bizarre editing, that. Thanks for posting.
Clearly a red: he went in with both feet and didn't have a clue where they were going - he could have got the ball, he could have ended Luongo's season. |  |

I thought they were playing three halves... or three thirds. |  | | |
