I think some are forgetting what a yellow card is. It's a warning that means, "next time you're off." Pearson, of course, knows this very well. He earned himself a few more days off work, and does he care? He's getting paid regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if he was looking for the second yellow to happen. Yes, it’s almost like he doesn’t want to play against his old club, Preston, isn’t it? BM He doesn't want to play period.

The first yellow was ridiculous, setting him up for a second yellow which was something he probably had to do if it was a bookable offence at all. Don’t be a twat and kick the ball away and put yourself in the ref’s mind as a player he needs to watch….like bloody ground hog day though.

That's not what happened at all. You didn't see it, did you? Yes I did. Wasn't out of position (in fact he was just in place to force Diverjames to try his dark arts). Was shafted by the ref. End of.

I genuinely didn't think the second incident merited a foul, and I would happily say that if the teams were reversed. I can't see anything in it other than two players coming together very gently.

When was the other last time you saw "two players coming together very gently" in a football game? Maybe in a practice match between two lovers...

I know people want the game to become a non-contact sport, but that's just ridiculous. You're saying that shielding the ball out of play is a free kick. Attackers should be required to go around defenders, not trying to go through them and fall down like a sack of potatoes when they can't.

I'll have to ask your own question: did you even see what happened? The Leeds player is watching the game, not Pearson, and he does not expect to have to "go around defenders". Pearson has no time for football, he just steps in front of the opponent, and for no reason at all, because they're both away from the ball, which means the player did not even represent any imminent danger to Stoke. So it appears to be more a retaliation thing from some incident earlier on, or perhaps some game in the past. It's not a yellow card - it's a straight red.

I saw the incident, both in full speed and the replays. Pearson is hardly moving at all, just positioning his body to hinder him. Nothing dangerous at all. Hardly an impact to be honest. Players are required to see where they're going. You can't expect to run freely without knowing where a defender is. That's dangerous play, just like trying an overhead kick without knowing if a defender is trying to head it. I suspect James not only did know, he also went down as soon as he touched Pearson. And the ref got what he wanted - the big club (soon to be PL, so he can ref there) won. Compare it to the block on Junho earlier, that resulted in a free kick, even if it was done with much more force and maliciousness. Your hatred of Pearson is clouding your judgement. You wouldn't have thought this if it was Burger or any other player of ours.

I don't think it looks any better from the replay than it did live. He ran across and blocked a player right infront of the ref, on a yellow and after he'd had a bit of a melee in the minutes previous. It's a yellow all day long but in light of what we've seen from Pearson this season so far it's not unexpected. It was grossly unprofessional and that red could have seen us ship more goals than we already have and completely put us out of sight in terms of goal difference.
You really wouldn't get that behaviour out of a young kiddie and frankly, it's time he grew up and put his bollocks properly on the line rather than the halfway house nonsense he's dished up this season so far.

He’s a liability at the moment, all he needed to do was to keep out of trouble yesterday and help the team in attempting to stay in the game. Both bookings were utterly needless and as soon as he got the first one for his petulant behaviour you could write the script for the sending off. Utterly unprofessional and stupid.

Yes I did. Have you ever seen Pearson play or are you a radio listening fan? Anyone who watches him regularly and has the intellect of a coffee table knows that was never a game for Pearson. He is petulant, slow and ALWAYS capable of picking up one or two yellow cards especially against a quicker, superior team. Did you watch the game. Pearson was probably the main reason we were able to get a foothold second half. Every minute of it. Not disputing his above average performance. His temperament and discipline are the obvious problem. Completely killed our momentum. An accumulation of retarded actions and decisions will get us relegated. We are not learning.

You wouldn't have thought this if it was Burger or any other player of ours. I think you might be confusing two incidents. Can't be sure but at first I thought it was Wilmot in trouble as James had just run into him and gone down like a stack of cards. Then I saw a red after the yellow and Pearson walking and knew I'd missed something. Annoyingly of course you don't get a replay on red button but on the highlights there was definitely a block by Pearson off the ball as Leeds were breaking. It looked like a definite yellow to me. Can't talk about Pearson's first yellow as I didn't see what he did and it wasn't in the highlights. Some seem to be saying it was for kicking the ball away, should be yellow isn't always. Others say it was for putting his head into another player's, again usually a yellow but isn't always given. Although in some cases a player might not have got carded twice in those situations, by the letter of the law the ref was correct.

It all comes down to if you think this was even a foul or not. I do not. Wilmot blocked forwards several times during the game and was never penalized. As he shouldn't, because it's part of being a defender. Of course, if you want football to be non-contact, then I guess you could make a case for it being a foul. A yellow? That's beyond harsh. (Keep in mind, I'm not defending the first card, which was stupid)

Although in some cases a player might not have got carded twice in those situations, by the letter of the law the ref was correct. It's in the extended highlights now, at 8:34 and on. Still looks soft as hell to me, and I can't see him do anything else either. The ball was with their no.4 and Cundled tackled the ball back straight into the box and Iversen. Edit: You can see Pearson asking the ref 4-5 times "What for?" and he just walks on with a smug face ignoring him. No wonder refs in England have no respect. They're arrongant wankers.

Wilmott wasn't on a yellow, Pearson deservedly was and shouldn't be getting involoved in any nonsense. He put his shoulder into their player off the ball infront of the ref and he went down like he'd been shot, not a yellow but don't get involved full stop, let him pass, he was going nowhere. Burger was walking a tightrope and managed it. I like Pearson and he was playing well which makes it all the more annoying. It can't be denied that the bloke is a liability.
