[Tottenham Tony]

hate foy shocking ref but might be able to do us a favour today lol silva straight red next please followed by rooney for good measure lol.

 

[chrissivad]

Actually, on replay, he's off his feet, it's too footed with studs up, and he's not in control of it.

agree, going by the rules its easy to send a player off for that.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Wasn't dangerous though was it? Took the ball clean and Nani didn't even dive, go down or react.

That was as clean a tackle you're likely to see imo.

But taking the ball cleanly and not getting the opposition player doesn't actually matter for this sort of challenge.

 

[nightgoat]

Yeah, he gets the ball, but he dives in with both feet off the ground, so he can't really complain.

Either way, that tackle still wasn't as bad as Lampard's against Wolves. And if Kompany misses our game at City I don't really care.

 

[jushin3]

Get your bets in fellas, we're winning the title. There will shocking decisions and bad challenges, and depleted squads after this.

 

[srups34]

If that suspension gets held up does he miss our game??

Yes

 

[jushin3]

Remember they have two CC semi final games so he mate be back for us.

The second Carling Cup game is after us.

 

[cwy21]

Four games since he's already been sent off this year.

 

[mpickard2087]

That's a red for me. Two footed scissor challenge off the floor. Dangerous.

Barely dangerous though, it was scissor but barely off the floor... It wasnt one of those tackles where he jumped at Nani.

Actually just seen he misses the game against us.... in that case good decision Mr Foy!!! :clap: :grin:

 

[jondesouza]

I don't agree that he wasn't in control of it.

 

[Tryph]

Yes

But if this game goes to a replay then he will be back for us, no?

 

[C-oops]

Just seen Paul Scholes has come out of retirement for united. Thihngs look desperate injury wise for them. They have Arsenal, Chelsea and liverpool coming up in quick succession. Add to that City having Kompany and the Toures out for their match against us, things are looking a bit rosier for us at present.

 

[nightgoat]

Remember they have two CC semi final games so he mate be back for us.

Second leg's the week after our game.

 

[jimtheyid]

I was night duty last night... why the fuck is Paul scholes on the bench?!

 

[C-oops]

But if this game goes to a replay then he will be back for us, no?

Good point. Lets hope united do a job on them today then.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

I was night duty last night... why the fuck is Paul scholes on the bench?!

He's come out of retirement, jim.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

By the way I didn't know you could sign a player and have him registered so soon to play in a match. Unless he was never officially off their books??

 

[spursontheloose]

That's a red for me. Two footed scissor challenge off the floor. Dangerous.

yep. If he was let off for that challenge then makes a similar challenge later on and breaks someones leg then it would be a massive issue. The ref had no choice on this one i think.

On the BBC Live Text:

1318: The red card was a huge decision. Chris Foy may well have just given Chris Hoy a very busy afternoon on Twitter!

:grin:
