You're doing a bit of tacking the man rather then the ball yourself here. I bloody agree with you and have posted numerous times my opinions if you care to read them.

I'm pointing out that it was so bad and reckless it could of easily been his own player with career ending injury.

The boot hit Dael full in the face and missed his eye by a fag paper.
If it was the ball, it would have been different - because the game is football.
The Blackburn mans boot is attached to the rest of him and he has to take responsibility.
Intentional or not he was at fault and should have been sent off!

Me thinks there is a lot of straw clutching going on here. If the ref had seen it awarded a penalty no guarantee we would score! If their lad was sent off it might have altered the game. No guarantee as we were completely hopeless.

it just might of meant we missed more chances!

There are no guarantees of course, but if the penalty had been given, we would likely have scored it. When we go 1-0 up we tend to go on.
If the lad is also sent off then we have a 1 man advantage, which is likely to be important.
If both happen - as they should - then it is highly probable we win and certainly don't lose the match.

Your post makes no sense Nosmo I'm afraid.

We played poorly and were awful after they scored, but come on man, Penalty and 11 v 10 is extremely significant.

On first viewing I thought it was a clash of heads, on second viewing it was a high boot and because it caught Dry it should have been a penalty but not a sending off for me.

My problem about all this crying us that the elephant in the room is missed. How awful we were.

It was the same against Brum, ref to blame.

On first viewing I saw a player recklessly leading with a high foot.

It IS a red card, you cannot justify that it isn't. The law states endangering an opponent is a red card offence. If you were a quarter of an inch away from taking an opponents eye out, there are clear stud holes in an opponents face, and that opponent was 6 foot four and stood upright trying to head the ball....then there are zero excuses for it, he endangered an opposition to the point of almost destroying their career and indeed affecting their life out of football. Stop talking nonsense, take a breath, recognise the facts.

Dael fry is 6 foot 4 and got a stud an inch away from his eye. A red card for dangerous play is given when endangering the safety of an opponent. His safety was evidently endangered by the fact of his injury. It is a red card. It isn't open to debate.

You can even argue that the ref cannot claim he didn't see the contact. The fact that he and his linesman MUST have seen the player go in with his boot high, and Dael had clear stud marks in his face is enough to make it a sending off.

Because we should have been a goal up against ten men. We weren't completely hopeless in the slightest. Poor first 15 and after the goal, other than that we dominated. As I said, nonsense.

We should have been a goal up against ten men, that is indisputable.
But there were long spells of this match where we were absolutely hopeless and we didn't dominate anything. It was a bad performance.

If he hadnt been there Dael could have been subathing.
If he hadnt lifted his foot up face high in the area he might not have kicked Fry in the eye.
If,if ,if if if


He kicked Dael Fry full on in the face at head height and caused him to be taken off!

I'm not sure what your agenda is here Roofie, he's agreeing with you, just stating he could equally have hospitalised his team mate. Have a couple of minutes away and read through it again.

exactly, teams win with bad performances all the time, the performance very often does not dictate the result. This result was dictated by negligent officiating.

I dont have an agenda.
I cant be arzd speculating what could have happened - only what DID happen.
Lets leave it there and hope Dael gets well soon - and Tav.
We cant aford to lose two of our most reliable players if we can help it!
 
The refs just seem to get away with it consistently. It's like that Eltringham bloke. Every time I hear he's officiating us, I cringe. They never seem to be pulled up or questioned. Do they have assessors in this division? Making horrendous decisions game by game and not being made accountable.
 
It should have been a pen and red card. Also it brought Wood on who looked very shaky.

So it was basically a triple blow. That said we still had nearly an hour to beat the shower of sh*t. They really ain't that good and we've picked up 1 point against them.

We were shocking after the goal. No real shape or plan.

It's about the 3rd time in recent weeks that I don't understand the keeper banging it forward? We don't have a forward who can win anything in the air. I could understand if we had Kiefer Moore up top. Britt just jumps into the defender and gives away a free kick.

I still think a half decent forward has to be priority over a winger. Hopefully he's 6ft 4+👍
