That was meaty, good call from the ref I suppose.

Pair of bams

 

[Boabinho]

That guy roly polyd right off the screen! I counted four before he disappeared. Maybe he’s still going…

 

[ssblue]

How do you decide who gets the free kick?

How do you decide who gets the free kick?

Drop Ball I'm guessing? Would genuinely like to know how it went though.

 

[UlsterScotGer]

I think it’s a brave call from the ref. See it loads where whoever gets the red is the one who comes off least worst in the challenge, when in reality both players are lunging.
The Fleetwood player is recent new Northern Ireland cap, Paddy Lane.

 

[Arkanoid]

That’s BS, 2 yellows for me and whoever you deem to have made first contact gets the foul against them
Cancels it out surely in the unwritten rules of the game that refs pick and choose when to follow

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

guy in blue looked like he came off worse.

 

[Papasmurf]

That’s actually a great call from the ref. There maybe should be more of this kind of thing.

 

[Main Stand]

That's an interesting one.

He thought he was an Easter egg

 

[alba73]

He thought he was an Easter egg

Or should I have said he identifies as an Easter egg

 

[Thomsons tackle]

The ref gave Gillingham (blue) a free kick. I have no idea why? Not sure the rule.

I remember one in a Scotland vs England game way back when.

Alan Ball and Billy Bremner went over the ball on each other. It didn’t end up with either being injured. They both ended up in a heap and the ball just sort of trickled away. Looked comical more than anything.

is in my ears and in my eyes

 

[StuGers]

The guy in the blue is actually in Dundee just now and still rolling.

 

[Macky]

Good call. Going by the rules of excessive force or endangering an opponent then both are guilty of that.

 

[Macdonsj]

gillingham player was reckless
fleetwood one was way worse

both deserve a red but the Fleetwood one should see more time suspended
