Premier League ( midweek ) Games 8/9/10 Feb '22

[Jack Hackett]

The ref has determined that insufficient impediment has occurred to warrant stopping the game to penalise the offence, thus the most serious offence then takes precidence as is the case in 99.99% of other matches ever refereed.

Precisely

Which of the yellows did you think wasn’t deserved? You could argue the first hand in the face was a straight red according to the rules.

Consistency is always the argument by all fans when a decision goes against their team and point to another decision and say “what about this”.

I don’t remember the Godfrey incident, so can’t comment, but if it is as you say then maybe it should have been a red card.

Its not relevant to Martinelli getting 2 yellow cards though.

I doubt you’d be so sanguine had it happened to a City player

If Martinelli gets given a yellow then Wolves fans cry conspiracy.

Because he was given a red, Arsenal fans are crying conspiracy.

Maybe not, but I’m more accepting than most on here when it comes to decisions.

I try to be as objective as I can be.

I thought both Martinelli’s offences were obvious yellow cards.

Perfect set of circumstances for a sin-bin, personally.

I’m certainly not Keith Hackett, if that’s what you’re asking.

Is he your dad?

I doubt Wolves’ fans would have questioned a single yellow, nor anyone else had that been the outcome. It’s big news because it was such an egregiously rare event.

People don’t tend to blatantly barge someone just after pushing someone in the face.

That’s why it’s rare.

As bon mots go, this doesn’t…
