No he didn't, Pearson clearly blocked him and it was a clear yellow card. The fact that loads of similar incidents don't get a yellow doesn't excuse Pearson's stupidity. It happened many times all game, and none of the others were yellow. He was carded because 1. He's got the rep 2. the ref is biased as fuck as usual and 3. James is a soft little crybaby fanny going down like a little boy. I'd be embarrassed if I was him. 1 He has 'earned' his reputation 2 The ref was not biased, inconsistent maybe but not biased 2 No-one else did anything as blatant and while James is often a disgrace he did little wrong here

Everyone knew apart from the Manager that Pearson is a petulant unprofessional little knob who should never have been anywhere near a shirt for this game. Fine margins will send us down. Fucking embarrassing. So you knew then Einstein… 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.

Pearson was probably the main reason we were able to get a foothold second half.

He was excellent when he came on and it was never a sending off. If you've been listening to Angela on the radio ignore what she said, she was totally wrong I saw the incident in real time but only saw the coming together, I didn't really see the detail. I based my opinion on listening to Sohail and Ange and they made it sound like he had deliberately targeted the Leeds player 5 yards in front of the ref. It will be interesting to see any replays to see whether Pearson adjusted his direction to deliberately block James or whether it really was just a normal contact.

I don’t know if it was a yellow, idiotic if it was, but it wasn’t as bad as the guy jumping into Campbell in mid air and not getting booked. Shame as Pearson had been excellent and would have started in Sat for me instead of Laurent who is so slow of thought. It was a yellow and was idiotic. I agree about the Campbell incident, dangerous, like the Wilmot injury last season, and these fouls too rarely get punished

I also think it was more dangerous.

My initial thought was that Pearson was being a braindead prick to get himself sent off. However, when the replay came on I was expecting to see a deliberate, obvious movement towards the player to bring him down, but was surprised at how soft it was. How often do we see a player shepherd the ball through to the goalkeeper by blocking off the attacker - Pearson's movement seemed a lot tamer than that.
It will be interesting to see Schumacher's comments on the incident and may give us a fair idea of if Pearson is in his plans. You could make an argument for Pearson either being stupid or unlucky (or both!).

Sooo, the attack in midair on Campbell that was deemed less worthy of a yellow (and not even a talking to) and the block on Junho which was done with far more force was also not a yellow. See a pattern here? Bias. 3. James went down like a british lass in fishnets on saturday night. He's a cheating cunt and should be ridiculed into oblivion. He made a meal of a situation that happens 20x per match and lost us the game. I hope he steps on lego tonight.

Poor touch, slow, poor passing, walking red card. Sick to death of the guy. Actually did ok when he came on, but as soon as he got his first yellow for kicking off over very little you just knew he would get sent off.
He shouldn’t play another minute, he just can’t be trusted in a relegation battle.

Shame it happened after him coming on and changing the game for us. The first yellow is the stupid one, booting the ball away. Not having the two make a red though, very soft in my view.

What the actual fuck? Have you ever seen a defender play? It's what you're supposed to do FFS Called it as it happened, he blocks him off the ball Pointless as it wasn't that dangerous a situation That's Pearson's problem, he gets caught out of position too often and makes stupid challenges that aren't even in dangerous positions. He's just not very bright.

The second yellow fouls like that go on in every game and unless it stops an obvious attack they are free kicks at best, not a yellow for me. You simply don't do that on a yellow Many players do and get away with it, his reputation precedes him.

We were all happy when we signed him because we all thought he was the nasty little fucker we thought we needed, instead he has become the nasty little liability we could do without.

Just lazy and sums him up since he signed permanently Think they do Neville down here another Man yoo player the other week watched dozens of games where the commentators have said players were lucky not to get a second yellow for tackles, are you saying you've never seen a player not get booked for what you believe to be a second booking? PS I think he's a grade A dick and lets us down greatly but just don't think it was a second card offence.

Potential hero to zero. Had high hopes when we signed him but I’m starting to take a personal dislike to him now. A liability in his overall performances and his discipline.

No excuse for either card. First one he’s 20 yards away and has no need to get involved. Second one the bloke is going nowhere, ref is 5 yards away looking straight at him, on a yellow. It’s blatantly thick as pigshit. Whether or not it’s a deserved yellow, you’ve given the ref a decision he didn’t need to make. Bollocks. It's never a yellow in a million years. The ref ensured the "big club" won to get back to the PL tonight. He'll be pleased. Maybe not but it’s so pointless to even give the ref a decision. Like, even if he wasn’t booked for it what exactly was he gaining. There’s absolutely zero need to do it.

I don't think whatever he does he does he will look like some great athlete. He's physically squat, and that ridiculous thatch of a fringe and minge of a beard don't help much. I think we have to take him as he is. Having said that he needs to stop getting booked within the first 5 minutes of every appearance, that's just plain stupidity. Well he ignored this plea to show some sanity and instead went for the full sending off. I'm speechless.

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.
