printer Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just to add re my post above, IMO Sena (or is it Senna) doesn't use excessive force, is not out of control or doesn't lunge in. When he got sent off against Cove he did all three of these things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i saw the header pic on the twitter page . i am no ref , the opinion of some then was that he should have gone probably the same pundits who thought sena should go mind you . Its Sena not Senna i am sure . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a ref explaining why, according to the laws of the game, Gordon wasn't sent off. The point I was making was If Gordon's is a yellow then certainly Sena's is a yellow. While Sena's was rightly regarded as reckless because he stood on Ideguchi's ankle, a flying straight-legged stud to the ribs is hardly a necessary use of force or safe for Spence. If Sena was sent off last night I think it would be fairly likely we get beat 2-0, there's no change in result, if Gordon got sent off we'd have had 10 opponents for a long period at 0-0. Fascinating to see how the media pick and choose what to create uproar over. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougunder Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Forget the pudits. I'm a Celtic supporter in Western MA, US. I was impressed with the way Alloa brought the fight to us. Injury's are part or the game. That said it was no a good challenge from King on McGregor, both could have been hurt. I'll be following the rest of the Wasp's season. It's fun to watch a team that plays like they mean it. Should be a good game against Clyde on Saturday. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, see that buffoon of a Celtic manager is now saying the ref lost control of the game and that he told his players “ to stop tackling at the latter stages of the game”, absolutely bizarre comments. We all know Sena will get the ban, MSM have seen to that, you do wonder why they are so determined to go after little Alloa though, it’s not if it will affect Celtic in anyway whether he is banned or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Looks like Sena will have to take the ban, but let's not pretend it's due to anything other than the fact it was against Celtic and a by product of all the hullabaloo and tears in the fallout to the game. Charlie Gilmour arguably got away with a worse one against Queens Park earlier in the season with no repercussion. I don't recall any Queens Park fans flooding social media in the aftermath with gifs of all the bad decisions that particular referee had given against them in the past . Thank god we don't live this on a regular basis. It's always enjoyable to see Alloa testing themselves against bigger clubs but dealing with scores of utter moon howlers is something I'm glad doesn't happen often. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I really hate the idea of a retrospective red card for what was, purely, a challenge. Fair enough if he's skelped someone around the head and the ref has missed it, but the referee has decided, in the moment, it's a yellow. The fact that there's still debate about it afterwards shows that it clearly wasn't a stick-on straight red. What does a retrospective ban achieve exactly? It doesn't help Celtic at all. It has no impact on a game that finished on Saturday night. It doesn't help Ideguchi. And it's not going to make Sena think about how he acted...because all he did was challenge for the ball and mistime it. As you say @Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) other challenges worse than this will go in and go unpunished because they weren't in as high profile games. And that's not how it should be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, Jan, but I would argue that Sena timed the challenge perfectly. IMO this has been handled really poorly. Father Barrys.... first paragraph is absolutely spot on. Unfortunately this is the way things are now, decision makers (be it politicians, the SFA or whoever) knee jerkingly align to the loudest voices in social media rather than showing leadership and taking time to make the right decisions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing gravie Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Ast he only remaining true member of the Old Firm, I had lots of respect for Celtic who managed to win games without the aid of the Penalty Fairy that watches over Kinning Park utd. But after all the pish bring directed at Sena for an honest beefy tackle that the Celtic player crapped out of, I have lost all respect for them as a team. Based on the greeting here, I'm glad they won the tie, who knows how bad things would have been had they lost Quote 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetableman Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Surely the club will put up a staunch defence of Sena for this Witchhunt so called disciplinary review ? getting sick of it all .. how dare we stand up to the old firm though , who do we think we are ! wee diddy team take your medicine blah blah blah . they can stick thier 2 horse race of a so called premier league right up thier wastepipe . its as predictable as to bore the T*ts off you . Edit After checking the rules and reviewing sena's tackle i have changed my mind on my assumption that it should have been a red just to clear that up Edited January 26, 2022 by Vegetableman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
