Yellow. Not a red IMO. Not high, didn't leave the ground and caught him on the side of his boot. Ref reacted to two Blackburn players making it out to be really bad rather than the actual offence.
Watched the Varane challenge a few times now and its not a red IMO. He catches him on the side of the boot, not high, not out of control, just off balance due to a Blackburn player. I think the ref was influenced by Travis and the Japanese player who acted like his leg was snapped in half. Who knows what the result would have been with 11 v 11. We had the best chance of the half with Smyth who should score. The game as mentioned elsewhere looked like it had 0-0 written all over it.
That's not a red. His studs go in the ground and its his shin that catches him. He is not out of control, just off balance. The ref has reacted to that fvcking caaant Travis acting as though he has been shot. Ref hasn't been good.
Funny, I have muted that account as well. Gets into arguments over the most mundane things. Annoyed me to the point of turning him off. On the injury, its not ACL as bandaging would be different. Could be a meniscus tear. Recovery time for a meniscus tear depends on the type of treatment and the severity of the tear, but it generally takes 4–16 weeks. Hopefully on the early side.
If you notice he is trying to play Paal as an extra midfielder when we try and play out. It is always JCS who receives the ball out left as Paal has moved in field. Madsen pushes up a little and Field anchors. Its a one trick pony really but we are persisting with it. Agree though we end up playing it long down the flank of being shutdown. Also often we will place a pass into midfield and that player has someone up his arse. If he takes a touch or tries to turn he sometimes gets robbed. No need for that pass into a cul-de-sac. Not sure what the answer is as just don't want us to punt it up field all the time either.
I like the look of Varane more and more. Colback will be gone at the end of this year. I also think Dunne is not a right back and has never been a right back. Would really like to see Chair as a no10. Give him the freedom of the pitch.
