EFL on Quest

Did I hear right, when the pundits were talking about the sending off, they said Saville had no chance of getting the ball and yet he played a nice ball to set up an attack before being fouled.
 
I maybe in the minority but I thought the 2nd one was a bit harsh. He did try and backout.

I actually thought it ruined Boro's 'flow' as we were the better side 11 v 11. We simply didn't know whether to stick or twist. I think had we had positive results in the 2 home games we may have gone for it.
 
It's a great programme on Quest but can't stand the host, it should be rescheduled as the Colin Murray show. An egoist who assumes that somehow the sum of all his individual parts adds up to his greatness and celebrity.

After the 2nd challenge the ref allowed the game to continue until booking Buendia,what would have happened it they went back up the pitch and Buendia had scored? Surely it wouldn't have been allowed to stand as in theory he shouldn't have been on the pitch
 
Also in the "can't stick Colin Murray" sector of that Venn diagram. Can't listen to the prat on the radio.

On the interesting question of allowing play to continue before sending a player off. My thinking is that the goal described would stand and the ref still dismisses Buendia? Am I right, has this ever happened?

I am sure that you are correct but can't rememberplayer ever scoring before being dismissed. There must be some instances where the ref has played advantage in this scenario and player to be sent off has either created a goal or made a goal saving tackle though.

I like Murray, just because he was involved in coverage of a lot of our European games so brings back good memories

Correct which is why when you do your referee training they tell you not to play advantage if you need to issue a red. The only exception is if a goal is certain to be scored for the team that has been fouled against.
 
I like Colin Murray especially the way he will challenge the pundits, albeit in a humourous way. Comes across as a football fan who understands what makes fans 'tick'. Compare and contrast Mark 'cardboard cutout' Chapman who just agrees with everything the pundits spout even when it is clearly complete b***ks, can't stand him.
 
Will always be a Murray fan after his principled stand as a Liverpool fan against Murdoch. He had a good job on talk sport but as soon as Murdoch bought the station out Murray very publicly said he couldn’t work for an organisation owned by Murdoch and promptly resigned. Went up in my estimations that day.

100% couldn’t agree more. I wonder if the Murray haters also read The Sun.
 
From the EDP;

Close attentions from Boro markers left him a frustrated figure. No arguments with first booking for a hack on Howson. Perhaps deserved the benefit of the doubt for the George Saville challenge, given both players slid in before colliding. Not helped by the histrionics of the visitors. Replays clearly showed Buendia attempting to pull out of the challenge. But a third red card in seven months tells its own story. Big miss this coming week with a two-game ban.

Histrionics: melodramatic behaviour designed to attract attention.

It's a good job you can 'look like you are attempting to pull out' if you slide in, out of control for a challenge studs up. As it clearly states in the laws of the game the ref will let you off.
 
I thought the Sky commentators told it as it was. 'If he stayed on his feet he wouldn't of committed the foul' The player went to ground and fouled Saville., 2nd bookable, off you go laddie.
