I'm not sure where Lowe gets the idea Evans is somehow being constantly sent off unfairly by referees. He's had one yellow card in 19 appearances this season. He's in his fourth season at Preston in which he's appeared 82 times and been sent off once for a fcking horrendous 2 footed tackle at Wigan. That's his only red card for five seasons. |

Dykes doesn’t look at the player once. A yellow was fair for me. |  | | |

I remember watching Collina do a Monday Night Football once where he said the thing to look for in this incidents is the palm of the hand. If it's open and the fingers are splayed then it's likely the striker is just trying to use arm for leverage and it's an accident, if the fist is clenched then he's doing it deliberately to hurt the opponent. Think about it if you were slinging an elbow at somebody, you'd clench your fist. I think Dykes is very fortunate not to be sent off last night because he really does catch him, but the hand is splayed so it wasn't deliberate and might have saved him. |  | | |

I'm not sure if Collina's 'clenched-fist' test is all that plausible - I could give someone a slap with an open hand just as sincerely as punching them in the gob, no? A player doesn't get a bloodied nose as a result of a jumping colleague trying to gain 'leverage'. For me,it looked intended, and on another night Dykes could easily have gone, so I hope Marti will be having a word. Lyndon certainly needs to get meaner, but not in that way, and it was a reckless and stupid thing to do earlyish in the game. |  |

Well a slap vs a punch is a very different debate to intentional vs accidental use of the elbow. | | | |

You can talk about Ched Evans all you like.......Dykes is a lucky man and so are the R's...... | | | |

My point is that it looked like a deliberate slap/punch/call it what you like, and he was lucky the ref was lenient. | |

You've gone up (even) higher in my estimation, Clive! |
"dubious virtue-signalling in any event."
Yeh right
You asked Clive to censor his own football report because it offended you. |  |

TBF I took that joke out. It was too much and I should have known better, so I apologise for that. |

Worth pointing out that yesterday Sheffield United's Oli McBurnie received 2 yellow cards for 2 very similar offences. Given that VAR didn't convert either into a straight red I'm revising my initial assessment of Dykes challenge on Friday and now going with yellow as being the correct call. |  | | |

Blokes with your views on this subject, right ir wrong, are always going to get short shrift on this website. You’ve been here long enough to know that. | | | |

For me, it's the reaction of footballers which is embarrassing. None of these caants could play another contact sport for fear of snapping in two.
Nikki Lauda was basically burned to a crisp inside and out and yet, crawled off his deathbed and drove in the final GPs of the season and got within a hair's breadth of winning it (and at a time when F1 wasn't the sanitized bore it is now but rather, a deathtrap of a sport). Compare that with some prat feigning injury when tapped somewhat innocuously.
To be honest, I'd love to see a footballer give a right good chinning to an opponent and properly lay some caant out. |  |

The first McBurnie elbow was risky to say the least. Given he was on a yellow it was dumb to do anything again but thought the second yellow was very harsh when viewed in isolation. But the bloke has from which I think refs are wise too. Even by footballer standards he’s thick as two planks. | | | |

And? What's that got to do with virtue-signalling?

Very surprised that first one wasn't a red on its own, certainly looked a lot more deliberate than ours. McBurnie's a meathead, imagine getting away with that and then doing it again. | | | |

Isn't that exactly what virtue-signalling is..?
"the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue"
Its all irrelevant now because Clive deleted his joke and apologised for it. but just pointing out you took the moral high ground in that situation , you drew it to everyone's attention to highlight Clives mistake and your own position on moral correctness. Yet your happy to have a beer with Ched Evans (which is a bit of a weird thing to say.)
Anyway ..like you say ..moving on. | |
