Ipswich home thread

Great news - Seamus's red card has been overturned, just a shame we can't get the 70 odd minutes back that we had to play without him
that ref should be punished for it but hardly likely.thing is if J.C. had really kicked off about it he would be thats for sure.a manager hardly dare say anything to these knobs but i can.

In the good or bad old days before they started changing rules every season a foul in the box if given was a penalty cards yellow or red in my mind should be for dangerous challenges or persistent fouling through the game this new flag up for offside waiting for player to touch ball is an absolute nonsense and must make a refs job harder than it needs to be, in Seamus case this double jeapordy rule brought in 5 seasons ago I believe only counts if the ref didn't think the foul was intentional confusing or what not defending the ref who sent Seamus off but the rules are confusing and getting worse it should have been penalty save get on with it 11 players each ruined the game.
 
The rules may be confusing but shouldn't be for a full time professional, premier standard referee surely? After all, his sacking wasn't about his refereeing ability - the rules change in my job, but it's also my job to keep up with those changes or face the consequences

its the same in any industry as far as i know, yeh got to keep up with things or pay the price, these people are immune.:rolleyes:yet people like him could cause a manager to lose his job yet no comeback on them its ridiculous.

Well said Di.
Seamus went for the ball and wasn't “lazy” as was suggested.
Hardly justice for the club but justice for Seamus.
On to the next one ..... first name on the teamsheet.

That's my point agree they should know the rules but it's quite obvious that in all levels of the elite game they are consistently getting things wrong they can't even get things or agree on wether it's a right or wrong decision with VAR, offside,s because your fingernails are over the line constant fiddling with the rules are in my opinion ruining the game and not making officials jobs any easier.
 
Conneelly not sure it was a red card but it was a tired legs tackle.

The right decision this is what I said has it happened was a penalty and never a red Seamus has been cleared and hope he has a good game Saturday.

Not aimed at you Andy, but the right decision was a penalty and a yellow card - on the night :)

70 minutes with 10 men takes its toll and possibly, we lost a point because of that and possibly a player due to cramp.....

Lo and behold they are changing the handball rule yet again after last night,s fiasco in the Premiership, July 1st I believe hadn't got used to this one yet it's a joke it's football if you control it with your hand it's an offence least it was in the day, refs especially with VAR watching over them are probably even more scared of making mistakes, which lets admit it is all part of the beautiful game which is growing uglier every time they tinker with it.
 
it is i agree my first thought was VAR would be good for the game but no its ruining it more so with the clowns that run it imho.
