Hackney red card why no thread

No wonder the ref is booking him if he's running onto the pitch and making tackles.

I mean I know it must be frustrating at times having to stand on the sidelines and watch when things are going against us but he needs to show more restraint.
Well spotted. Next time I'll post before the wine runs out.:ROFLMAO:
 
Just watched it again and it’s a ridiculous decision. He wins and is looking at the ball and their guy runs across him and crosses his path. Referee ignored a much more deliberate foul by their no 5 after he had been booked.

He was awful. We were actually better with 10 men.

I can accept referees making decisions I don’t agree with but being entirely inconsistent to the degree of capriciousness like todays very poor official is hard to accept.
No way was that second one a foul, never mind a yellow. I totally agree, hackney wins the ball studs down, the lad then makes contact with Hackney by coming across Hackneys line.
 
I honestly don’t think the ref done much wrong yesterday. It’s a tiring old trope we constantly recycle about the refs we have every week.
Even ignoring the Hackney incident, the ref made a number of other very strange decisions yesterday. It wasn't a good performance from him.

The problem is it "looks" bad. Hackney plays the ball before the Cov player arrives and is bringing his right foot down which is why his studs look like they're showing. The Cov player makes the most of minimal contact and cons the ref.

Shouldn't have been a yellow and Hackney was unfortunate, but having already been booked he should have been more careful. His previous early bookings have all been rather pointless too. Someone needs to have a word with him. It's almost as if he isn't willing to trust the defence at times.
 
His red has been coming to be honest, he's commited a few "professional" fouls this season and for a midfield player you always then run the risk of picking up another

I thought the second yellow was debatable; I've seen worse fouls committed that don't result in a yellow, but it was a challenge he didn't need to make really and if you do you run that risk.

But I wouldn't blame him for the sending off, it happens.

If he was doing it regularly fair enough, but he isn't.

That’s your opinion, not fact.

Honestly it’s tiring blaming the referee every week and such a cliché.

As I mentioned, maybe our players should be flawless before we aim ire at other people’s shortcomings.
 
As with most yellow and reds you can always see why the refs give them and Hackneys two cards yesterday fall into that category, the second one probably harsh and the Coventry reaction will have swayed a ref as mentally weak as this one.

The ref looked strange to me as if he had no confidence in himself.

The problem for me is the complete inconsistency of most of the refs we see at the Riverside.

How many teams kick us about and only start being carded during the second half?

I don’t think we are a dirty team under Carrick yet the ref yesterday jumped quickly on a couple of errors by Hackney without any warning and the game was over after 20 minutes.

Despite what a few posters on here are saying, there is a problem with reffing and it’s more of a player and game management problem than the individual decisions they are making.

I pay a lot of money to watch live football and I don’t want games to be continually ruined by referees and I’m sure the supporters of other clubs feel the same. It needs sorting.
 
I sit in the East Stand.

Live it looked a yellow card and I’ve seen nothing that would change my opinion. I can’t see how you can blame the ref or defend Hackney. He did what you can’t do when you have already been booked.

When you have been booked you cannot dive in / lunge ike that. The sending off was entirely on Hackney.

He will have to learn from it and probably will. As posted above he is probably trying too hard and getting frustrated.
 
Accept he definitely didn't. I had eagle eyes on the ref because of all the pushing and shoving, and he one hundred percent didn't blow his whistle until after we'd cleared the corner.
Yes he did, I watched it on stream and blew the whistle just before the player took it - there was then a replay of the event and you could see he did.
 
Bentancur just dived in, in similar fashion for Spurs v Villa, nothing on the ball and no yellow.

Craig Johns reported that the ref pulled it back after we’d cleared it, several other people on here have confirmed that’s what happened but you keep telling yourself your right.👍
Bloody hell well if Craig Johns reported it then it must be right :ROFLMAO: I don't care either way - I'm just saying what happened as I'd watched it on stream where they showed a replay and he clearly blew before the corner.

Also he doesn't say even mention the ref blowing the whistle and it's you're, not your.

I concur. Either a split second before or after the kick was taken. 100% not after it was cleared!
 
The entire team bring it on themselves…..every game they come out and for the first twenty minutes to half an hour pass the ball about with the same half arzed conviction as the pre game warm up. You could virtually give every opposing managers pre game instructions………”Press them high up the pitch, get in their faces and make sure you take advantage of any wayward passes before they wake up”!!
Hackney’s problem is he loses his head and gets over zealous in a bid to retrieve the ball. Watching on Riverside Live Drury and Maddo knew straight away he was in trouble.
 
He made an error miscontrolling the ball. He then made another error lunging in like that to try and win it back. He should have been disciplined enough to think, I've just been carded so I better not give the ref a decision to make.
And if he doesn't make the tackle they have the ball in our half, with our players disorganised, something which has led to goals again and again and again. Our tactics yesterday were garbage.

When the opposition have done their homework on us and we are struggling to play out from the back, I can't understand why we just don't mix it up a bit more?
Get Conway, Jones or Lath, peeling away in the channels and go long a few times, it stretches the opposition and gives them something else to think about, go front to back quicker for a period.

We had a few players back covering. Their player would have had the ball out on the right wing facing away from our goal. There would have been no immediate danger.

What I'll ask is could you imagine Howson doing the same thing in that situation?

Hackney showed his inexperience but will hopefully learn from it.
