One of the most ridiculous laws in the book. |  |

That doesn’t guarantee that they are enforced though. Take the five second handling rule for keepers. | |

I wasn’t being serious. It’s a dumb rule. | |

Sorry, that went way over me.
Yes, on days like today it didn’t help anyone including Probert. | |

Probert had no choice.
The rule may be a bit stupid, but not as stupid as players who take off their shirts knowing that they will get a yellow for it.
I understand why he did it yesterday, but all he had to do was lift his shirt up.
I remember a player in the play- offs a few years ago, on a yellow, scored. took off his shirt and was sent off. His team lost. It potentially cost his team the Prem. [Post edited 4 Nov 2018 11:18]

The rule is there for a reason and Probert was absolutely right to book him.
Some of the stick that Probert has been getting on social media is pathetic. It’s quite obvious that he has no choice. Rules are rules. |  |

Still useless. He was the only one who couldn't see the scummer handballing off the line. |  | | |

Just seen the replay, he looked gutted when Gray took his shirt off as he knew he’d have to book him. Give him stick for the missed handball by all means, but he didn’t have the option of letting empathy override the rule. |  | | |

We also don’t know if anything was said before the game either. For instance Probert may have spoken to his bosses about it and was told to stick to the rules. He may also have spoken to Leicester about it. |  |

So, what is the reason then? |  | | |

He could have done a Wenger and said knowingly afterwards ‘I didn’t see it’. I think he might just have been forgiven for that.
To slag him off is really pathetic though. |  |

Anyway I’m blaming the Scoucers,always blame the Scoucers.
Something to do with the dockers wasn’t it? [Post edited 4 Nov 2018 14:27]

I read on Twitter that Probert and his top brass had not spoken pre game about this matter. | |

I don’t see why they should have, to be honest. If officials start allowing some messages then it opens a can of worms. Obviously I think that he should have been allowed to show the message but like I said, if officials start debating what to allow and what not to allow, it could be a very tricky situation.
There were enough tributes during the week and pre game - players know they are booked for taking their shirt off, if he didn’t want the yellow he should have kept his shirt on. | |

They can show any messages they want just by lifting their shirt (ooh missus), so they are not booked for showing messages. They are booked because no one wants another Glggler rug or Lita waxjob on display. So yeah Gray was a total dick and if anyone deserves flak it is him. But probert could easily have just booked him and told him without waving a yellow card. | |

Puel said after the game that he didn't blame him.
They wanted to be professional and play the game. so the ref should be professional too.
Some people on social media just like a good chance to bully someone. | | | |

Childish to suggest anything else tbh. People love to be offended. | |

Give him and the linesman stick for ignoring Vardy being offside, meaning it hitting Bamba's arm was irrelevant. | | | |

Hypothetical scenario.
Probert shows sympathy and lets Gray off.
Cardiff equalise.
Gray receives yellow for fouling.
Gray scores winner.
Cardiff relegated by 1 point. | | | |
