Definite shades of that today Any time that was any kind of contact, Portsmouth arms were outstretched |  |

We’re such a nice team, any other team would have stopped play and surrounded the ref until he sent him off, what did we do shrug and play on. We have to start playing the ref and start getting done dodgy decisions going our way if that means we roll around clutching faces of legs and surround the ref we should do it, as they say when in Rome! |  | |  |

Likewise, Johnson at Lincoln and his tendency to dive and don't give it unless it is absolutely 100% nailed on. |  |

There is a lot of truth in that. |  |

It wasn't studs up, in fact his studs were pretty much facing the grass, won the ball and took the man at the same time. If we'd had a man sent off for that we'll all be complaining that he got the ball. |  |

He also went in a bit naughty on Nolan after the whistle had gone. Thought Nolo was about to roll around but then bounced back up. Milk the sh*t out of it, because you can bet your last dollar the opposition would against you. |  |

No to be fair to Garv, I thought on initial thoughts it was horrendous, would personally describe it as a ‘little naughty’, due to force/stud showing, but looked as though he made solid contact with the ball. Doesn’t take away from the fact it was opportunity for the dark arts to shine through, something opposition players wouldn’t think twice about doing against us, see Grant Leadbitter rolling around.

I wasn't calling for it to be a red card but the galling fact is it was worse than Dozzell's tackle midweek and apparently not even a foul. |  | |  |

We’re always getting men sent off for challenges like that. I’ve no faith in officials at this level at all. It’s crossed the line from human error to something far more sinister. |  | |  |

That doesn't prove a thing really. We were done over yesterday, obviously. There's enough controversy in our games and football in general, frankly I don't think we need to bring things like this up. Did Lambert and co. even mention this? Maybe but I don't think so. You'd think he and Taylor would be the first to shout and scream if it was widely viewed as a red. We're all bored of nothing tackles being given as fouls (I'm not saying this one was that) and too many sending offs for breathing on your opponent, so a tackle where the ball was won I don't think is something that needs to be talked about that much. I winced as I watched it, I'll admit, but having watched the replay I concluded that it looked worse than it was. Appreciate I'm in the minority here though. |  |

It does show that “...It wasn't studs up, in fact his studs were pretty much facing the grass...” wasn’t actually the case. It calls into question the consistency of refereeing, where a lesser challenge a few days earlier results in a straight red card which is then upheld on appeal, yet this one, at best an equally bad challenge doesn’t even warrant a yellow card... |  |

I do wonder how much people would be talking about that one yesterday if we hadn't just come off the back of the Dozzell one. We can chunter all we want about Dozzell but it doesn't make yesterday's anymore of a red card. Neither one was for me. |  |

He's on the way down though, and ultimately he gets a huge chunk of the ball. The fact that he's fully off the floor (in that still at least) does support the argument however. I'm not saying it's never a red, but I don' think there should be uproar of it not being given. 'It calls into question the consistency of refereeing' - probably, but I don't really like the word consistency. Rarely are two tackles exactly the same, so how can you consistently give the same decision? Football isn't consistent, referees are humans so will always apply their own judgement, this is completely natural. There has to be an acceptance of an element of inconsistency. I'll end this by reiterating that Dozzell's was not a red card. I'd rather neither of them were given. Hypothetically, if we were able to appeal against the fact that yesterday's wasn't given, I reckon we would win, but I think it would still make both decisions incorrect. |  |

Seemed to be afters from Kenlock making the challenge on him as he shot just before the whistle. Also claimed a Town player had punched him, although not sure anyone saw that. |  | |  |

Not sure if you're joking or not but... He's 18 and I thought he was outstanding! The maturity and confidence he played with was top notch for me. Tackle and aggro aside, of course. |  |

From the Laws of the game: "Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play." serious foul play = red card. It's clearly a lunge, out of control. I suppose there may be question marks over whether it was excessive force rather than what we often call robust challenge. But more force was used than in Dozza's red card incident earlier in the week. At the very least it highlights inconsistencies. On the balance of it though, I think he was lucky to stay on the pitch. |  |
