Try watching the actual video footage. For me it's pretty clear that it's a lazy attempt to win the ball, there is barely any force, he almost pulls out altogether. He wouldn't do that if he were trying to injure the player. So yes it was a red card, but any claims of intent are ridiculous.
Honestly I struggle to believe some of the people on this forum are actually our fans, in any arguable situation there seems to be a determination to find a way to blame our players as much as possible.
the challenge was as careless as his touch that put him into that situation. he hasnt gone for his knee, its just a mistimed lazy challenge, hes misjudged the bounce of the ball if you actually watch it and not use freeze frames. if he went for his knee the ref wouldnt of needed to go to the screen he would of pulled out the red himself.
he really needs to sort his head out bissouma. might be his ego is too big as he did say he was the best midfielder in the league not so long ago. that or hes got problems with staying switched on and in the zone. either way it needs to be sorted asap as when hes at his best he is quality.
as nailed on as the Cash tackle was………

we're not talking about Bissouma or Romero's red cards, as has been explained at length by many posters, it's the general one sidedness of refereering and how consistently we've ended up on the wrong side.
We're getting a kicking every week and ALWAYS the ones to receive the first yellow. We weren't born yesterday, we know what normal reffing looks like.
I watched it live. You'd be frothing at the mouth if anyone got away with that against us.Try watching the actual video footage.

It was a trip
Cash tackle had intent and was somehow later
Bissouma just had his studs up. It was a red but the contact was definitely with less force if you watch it in full speed.
They aren’t comparable at all.
They do this weird virtue signal to show they are better than fans of other clubs who are too “tribal”…Try watching the actual video footage.

By this point surely even the most virtuous amongst them can see that being virtuous isn’t going to get us anywhere with these officials
LMAO no he didn't, he rashly caught him below the knee. He didn't deliberately target it, it was an ill-judged, poorly-timed tackle. No more, no less.
And yet big decisions have gone for us in matches against Liverpool and Man City.
I tend to think refs go with the home team or the underdog at times, which is why Forest’s numerous dirty challenges went unpunished.
There is no corruption, the officials are just mostly useless. If we were reading this content on a Liverpool fan forum we would fall about laughing.
Yes, the point I was trying to make was that if Bissouma was a red card then Cash should certainly have got one. His tackle was worse and actually caused injury which Bissouma’s did not. I am not trying to defend Bissouma either. It was a stupid unnecessary tackle .
And they also should show freeze frames to the official when they arrive at the screen.
Slowmo and freeze frame are the perfect tools if you want to make things look worse.
Freeze frames are just as bad, case in point this one
Just play it in real time.
I hope Big Ange feels some of the Academy lads might be ready for longer sub appearances than run the others into the ground.
We knew he'd be gone for January anyway.
......Yet I bet Twitter is pilling in on him as if he's actually got an 8 match ban.
