Bing.McCrosby Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Much better from us though, change of formation has really helped us (imagine that making a difference ) More trust in the players to actually play and get on the front foot. Its been a while since we've played a formation like this, and are doing it pretty well already. I've got a feeling were going to win this tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 1 minute ago, Donathan said: The commentators keep debating whether it’s a goal scoring opportunity or not. Had it been a bog standard foul, I’d agree that the covering defender mitigates it to a yellow. However, that was blatantly violent conduct. He should have been off without a shadow of a doubt and I hope the referee rewatches it at half time and bins him at the first hint of a foul in the second half. Yeah the covering defender is irrelevant IMO. It was a terrible challenge and he deserved to be sent off for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 If Ukraine walk out of here with any sort of points, I’ll be extremely irritated, but not surprised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it looked horrific live but on the replay it's nothing like what people are saying on this thread. Similar to Lumstrum's foul against Hibs when his red was overturned. No attempt to play the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirepud Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 The huge lump on the defenders cheek where he made contact with Adams tells you all you need to know. Dived in with his elbow up. Elbow missed so he followed through with his head. Shocking tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabFC Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) It’s one of those where refs have no understanding of the game they’re officiating. That sort of body check with that force is far more violent than the typical red card challenge you often see because of ‘studs’. Lucky Adams is pretty big and the defender not all that. Imagine a Lee Wilkie type doing it on a Christie/Gilmour. They’d never get up! Edited September 21, 2022 by ArabFC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Can see why the ref hasn’t given the red, must have been absolutely dumbfounding thinking you’re refereeing a game of football and one of the players lands a perfectly timed clothesline from hell. Enough to momentarily confuse anyone. VAR, as usual, is fucking awful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) First 20m Ukraine sat in and allowed us to pick a pass. They have pushed up a but more now so a bit harder work. The look dangerous on a quick counter. Anyones game. Lad got away with a yellow there cos the ball was near the other defender. Was it Christie that clearly brought a Ukraine player down by grabbing his head?! 1-0 to someone.

calcutta Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Assault maybe a bit harsh but was pretty much a rugby tackle. Pretty sure the fact he had absolutely zero intention to play the ball and he's clattered him should make it a red.That would have been a red card on a rugby field, even the egg chasers realise blatent body checks are dangerous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Surely that was excessive force and a red regardless of whether or not the full back was covering? NHL stuff that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Of our ten subs still on the bench, 2 are goalkeepers, 3 are defenders and 3 are sitting midfielders. Fraser and Dykes the only options if we need to chase a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
