Trouble is I don't think they can appeal because it was a 2nd yellow.  Shocking decision. |

Looked lucky to be on the pitch after the 1st yellow - that looked like a straight red. I'm damn sure if one of our players had done that he'd have gone.

Foy the ref again. Didn't he ref us against ManU.
I believe he is making few friends among the other refs at the moment.

The penalty given against Swansea in the last minute of today's match was very harsh, and all the more surprising given Baadiff's treatment of Mike Dean.

yes shocking decision, like the palacios one, and if either of them get overturned I hope Marney/Dunn get a 3 game ban at the same time for being a lying cheating kinniving bastard
What Johnson did first though was straight red so justice eventually done IMHO

Having just watched the whole game again I don't think Johnson can have any complaints. He was guilty of persistent fouling throughout the game and, as stated above, could easily have been sent off within 10mins of his first yellow.
The 2nd yellow was harsh but seen from the ref's angle and in real time perhaps it is understandable. I don't understand why people think that Marney contributed to the sending off - he caught Johnson's shin on the follow through and I am sure it was pretty painful for him (Marney). It was an unfortunate clash with no player at fault. You could argue that Marney was not hurt and was trying to get Johnson booked but I didn't see anything to suggest that. It really is 50:50 depending on your view I suppose.

it looked to me like Marney cheated, his leg got caught and then a second later he twisted like a speared narwhal and fell to the ground like a bullet-riddled horse

Don't you just love football, game of opinions and all that. I have seen so many players this year get away with ten times worse than what Matty was sent off for at West Ham.

Sometimes the most innoculate challenges are the worst, do you remember Cisse's broken leg  |

Fuller has been booked twice this season for a similar offence - blocking the clearance and catching the man. In my opinion, it's absolute nonsense, especially when you consider that that diving cheat Andy Johnson does that every game and countless times this season has gone straight for the leg and caught the shin with his studs, with no action taken against him. The referees are cracking down on a minor infringement but missing the big ones.

Sometimes the most innoculate challenges are the worst, do you remember Cisse's broken leg I agree that Johnson could have not run into Marney's leg in the first place, but I think Marney made a big old meal of it. Cheating little bastard. That's another thing I love about our team - no rolling around on the floor feigning pain. |

"That's another thing I love about our team - no rolling around on the floor feigning pain."
We are not averse to a bit of diving though like most other teams. Having said that, I thought we were very 'honest' against WBA and tried to stay on our feet as much as possible. Contrast that with Hull against Portsmouth where one or two of their players didn't need much persuading to go down. Who was the Newcastle player who was caught late and then rolled over about 5-6 times just to make the point to the ref that it was a foul. The ref should have booked him for 'poncing' about!

We do have players who are happy to "go down" under inocuous challenges - Fuller, Lawrence, Delaps pen earlier in the season but i've yet to see one of our players feign injury or make out it's a lot worse than it is. |

I don't think we are too prone to that Beardy. Liam could (should?) have gone down and got a legitimate penalty after his run into the box against Boro (where he crossed for BT) |

Liam could (should?) have gone down and got a legitimate penalty after his run into the box against Boro (where he crossed for BT) One swallow doesn't make a summer matey ;D I've seen Lawrence go down way too easily a few times this season and he's 'probably' our worst culprit. The penalty for Delap, and Fuller's against Hull were both "go down after contact" rather than being brought down. Compared to nearly every other team in the league we're like angels where cheating is concerned but i despise cheating so i spot it when it happens that's all and i'm not biased. |
