the "sending off" challenge

was so very, very red, it's almost incomprehensible to me. Studs up, foot high, very fast, misses ball. Genuinely dangerous. Just bizarre really.

Do any other fans piss and moan about decisions as much as ours? (NCFC) - Duck, Mar 14, 16:18:08
- It doesn’t. He loves to find a clever reason why the decisions are correct (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:22:43
  - He explains why the decisions were taken (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:23:22
- the tackle was reckless and deserved a yellow are two mutually exclusive phrases (NCFC) - pinkney, Mar 14, 17:46:13
  - the "sending off" challenge (NCFC) - paulg, Mar 14, 20:05:44
  - Yes the first pen has been glossed over. Commentator said “he does clip his heels” (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:26:35
- It looks worse speeded up...seeing our defenders still slow to the ball (n/m) (NCFC) - MonkeyPuzzle, Mar 14, 17:45:12
- I think you have to (NCFC) - Ghost Ship Belly, Mar 14, 17:39:49
- Agreed that Rashica dived (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 17:01:06
  - He didn’t. Watch it again at proper speed (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:25:10
    - That angle is rubbish to see what happened (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:26:40
      - It quite clearly shows how Ayling lunges in at speed (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 20:55:09
        
        He’s basically still tho when Rashica treads on him (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:58:12
        
        It does because his foot lands on the keg that has slid underneath (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 21:26:11
        
        wonder if we'd have gotten it if he hadn't made a meal of the fall (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 14, 21:55:44
  - How that was not a red is genuinely beyond comprehension (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 14, 17:23:59
    - You could argue it’s not a really reckless challenge (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 17:42:34
      - You just enjoy being a contrarian. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:29:52
        
        What about all the Norwich fans saying no pen (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:31:23
      - or you could say slid in (no control) and hit the players leg perfectly with a raised foot (NCFC) - pinkney, Mar 14, 17:49:15
        
        Defo seen them given (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 17:50:30
        
        Rashica lucky his left foot wasn't planted (NCFC) - jamesward, Mar 14, 17:59:54
        
        Yeah they do always seem to go against us (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 18:16:03
      - It does look a lot worse on one of the angles (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 17:48:06
- We were sitting with Leeds fans yesterday (NCFC) - camcan, Mar 14, 16:39:18
- I mean it doesn't explain anything it's just some blokes opinion. (NCFC) - stanleh, Mar 14, 16:36:44
  - This is the point though (NCFC) - Duck, Mar 14, 16:43:40
    - I freely admit I have no idea what is/isn’t offside any more (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Mar 14, 17:41:18
      - He was offside but wasn’t interfering apparently 🤷‍♂️ (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 18:16:47
    - It wasn't given offside. It's clear the offside rule isn't black and white (NCFC) - stanleh, Mar 14, 17:38:50
      - That wasn’t about challenging the ball tho (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 18:18:50
        
        Bamford is attempting to play the ball by running after it, he forces (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:28:00
        
        I don’t disagree and said so earlier (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:32:52
        
        So youre offside if you effect what the keeper does but not if (NCFC) - stanleh, Mar 14, 19:26:05
        
        Well it’s really about impeding him by standing in front (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 20:41:43
- During the match I was very much moaning about the ref (NCFC) - Charles21, Mar 14, 16:34:55
  - 2reds as Harrison stamped on Max. Why he didn’t go down I don’t know (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 14, 19:25:57
  - Yep, this. And the offside thing, where offside isn’t offside anymore. (n/m) (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Mar 14, 17:43:53
- Yes (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Mar 14, 16:31:53

  - Exactly (NCFC) - Duck, Mar 14, 16:22:30
    - Every club has fans that moan about crap decisions or misfortune... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 14, 16:42:32
      - It’s the constant insinuation that it’s happening to us because we’re a small fish (NCFC) - Duck, Mar 14, 16:46:58
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 14, 17:04:23
        
        I am pretty sure sections of Chelsea fans were shouting about being victimized (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Mar 14, 16:57:46
