Ref sends Ronaldo off for sticking his hand in someone's face, not exactly GBH but it's a red card (imagine his reaction if the roles were reversed).

 

Ref has now been suspended for a month, will not be appointed to any further Real Madrid matches this season and is 'in grave danger of being relegated from the list of Liga match officials'. Bear in mind this is before they've even heard Real Madrid's appeal against the red card (wonder how that'll go...).

 

Absolute piss take

The guy went down easier that the cunt that Andy Carroll brushed his arm against.

Why should he have been sent off?

Spanish league in favouring Madrid shocker?

For Real Madrid, read West Ham. Epic World Cup winning cunts.

Why should he have been sent off?

As we often hear on MOTD etc, if you raise your hands to the face then that's a red card offence

Aye, but the game isn't governed by numb fuckers spouting shite on the telly.

 

Unsporting behaviour and a yellow perhaps, but certainly not a red for violent conduct.

Fair point. But if they'd just overturned the ban then nobody would be talking about it, it's the fact that they've come down on this guy so hard that's the issue. There'll be similar decisions several times a week through the divisions and I'm not having that every ref gets suspended/relegated

It does seem excessive, especially when Webb gets a pat on the back for a job well done after making a balls of the Carroll incident.

 

Still, it's West Ham, so justice will be done eventually.

Seems odd that the West Ham legal case thing isn't getting more media attention, it's pretty unprecedented isn't it?? Seems a slippery slope to me once we start crying to the courts over referees

They've lost their appeal and are NOT taking the FA to court.

Ridiculous it went to a second hearing.

 

More ridiculous still that they've had two stabs at it and still managed to uphold the original decision.

Are they not? My information must be duff/out of date

 

So where does it stand now? He's banned and West Ham aren't going to court?

Harsh. It's not a red card BUT it's also not a clear mistake. So it stands. Flores should also be banned. I hope someone breaks his legs and the ref waves play on.

Still fuck West Ham.

 

This is a piss in the ocean compared to the Tevez debacle.

Think it must only be me in the world who thinks Carroll had intent when he swung his arm back... Ok he only clipped his head but he wanted more than that after being climbed all over
