No stray legs kicking out after winning the ball. Yes it was at pace but no way is he out of control, reckless or dangerous. Have to appeal that surely? How can you not say he's reckless or dangerous, the speed he flies in at and the fact he caught ajer who jumped meant it was highly dangerous Its a clear red card for endangering the opponent, the rules dont say "if you play the ball then any afters is fair doos" Stupid shambles of a tackle that he didnt need and cost aberdeen any chance of sneaking a result 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajer has made a meal of it and got him the red. As I said, the pace he comes in at makes it look worse but football is sometimes played at 100 miles an hour which is ok as long as the player is in control, which he absolutely was.

I said at the time I thought the red was harsh but if you’re traveling at that speed and then leave the ground it can be considered as being reckless and you’re asking for trouble, which is what he got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeMentalDavie Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Shout out to the sheep fan who sprinted down 10 stairs to shout at the ref after the red, only to be told be a polis to stop being a fanny and get back to his seat.

Though 'reckless' is a yellow. Excessive force is the step-up to red. Edited December 21, 2019 by cmontheloknow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect your opinion, have to agree though we have different opinions which is part of the game. I still hope it is appealed although not much point, if as was discussed on sportsound today Lawell runs Scottish football anyway. If that tackle was made on an Aberdeen player the only time I would be shouting for a red was if Morellos or Jack had made the tackle. Have seen a lot worse go unpunished anyway (see McGregor at Pittodrie last season straight legged into Ferguson). Now that was dangerous/ reckless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a surprisingly good tackle, its a tackle he didnt have to make, it was dangerous and given the speed of his lunge and the height he was off the ground he was clearly not in control of his tackle, if ajers leg is planted theres a good chance of a leg break at best, If they reduce the card on appeal it will cause chaos as you'll have every single player stating "i got the ball" and expecting to get away with punishment, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes he does have to make it because a pro should always give his maximum for the whole game and the ball was definitely there to be won. No point going round in circles with this though, look forward to appeal decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
