What's the point of them, its either a free kick or you're off in the modern game. No middle ground, no area where a foul goes beyond a free kick and doesn't require a sending off.

 

Its ruining the game now as seemingly the medias obsession with controversy and a talking point has led to a situation where players and fans in grounds are screaming red for anything which in turn then puts massive pressure on the refs. Ive had texts from two separate Spurs fans wanting to know where Skrtels red was last night.

 

Whats going on?

Yellows simply mean the FA can't ban you after the match, never been happier to see Suarez get a yellow last night. That was a 34 match ban coming up...

I said the same thing to a mate of mine last night, very lucky to get away with that. Saying that, I thought Parker walked a tightrope himself last night.

gerrard executed a perfect sliding tackle on parker last night without censure. it's possible, i just think a lot of the players are s*** at it, losing heads, or using it as a last resort when there's obviously more risk.

If you get a red for tackling, perhaps yellows can be reserved for dives. Like the one Bale executed infront of Agger last night.

There's been no acknowledgement that the red card is a disproportionate distortion of the balance of a match. Players are making a tactic of trying to get the other team reduced to ten.

 

The referee we had in the fa cup was really good, allowed things to happen without doing that early yellow card as a marker. I know it barely had a bad tackle in the game, but that would be a challenge to many refs.

I thought the ref last night was good too

 

Webb and Atkinson are two of the worst , they try and make the games about them rather than use common sense
