It would be nice but, as we've already seen, we get Yellows for the mildest infractions and Reds when we do bring the aggression.

Before the usuals start, I have no issue with Romero and Udogie seeing Red, the issue I have is that we get punished for doing it, whilst it's either a minor punishment or brushed under the carpet when we're on the receiving end. FFS, our manager gets booked for going out of his technical area once, whilst others don't even get spoken to when doing it multiple times.

We've been, and are still being, targeted when others are given a free pass.

Has anyone else received a Yellow for diving this season? Plenty of 'play on's' but no Yellows that I can recall.

I'm struggling to see how Romero can get a straight Red, yet Cash only gets a Yellow when he's injured our player with his follow through. What is the difference? How did Nketia avoid even a Yellow for his tackle on Vicario when there was no ball there to challenge for? How does Kulusevki not get a pen when the follow through brings him down? How is the Gil assault not deemed a pen and a Red?

It stinks and it's obvious.

Cash's tackle was worse IMO, because it was a boot directly to his leg without a fully inflated ball as a buffer damping the impact.
 
It's been leaked!!! VAR checklist!!


1- Is it clear and obvious?
2- Is the tackle dangerous?
3- Was the player in control of the ball?
4- Were their studs up?




5- Is it against Spurs?

Tbf we are not the only team that play like that. Dippers, toon and Brighton do as well. Both last two have lots of players out. We have one game a week. Sure other teams may be able to swap players around. We have subbed some of our players early in games. May be we need to play a bit more smarter. Switch the play more from wing to wing or hit it long some times. May go mid block during games and be more compact at times. Or they could just improve fitness. Half the players have not played many minutes any way so no way have they been over worked.
