Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
Hear hear.
I accept that Tiote is a robust defensive midfielder who did pick up 11 yellow cards last season (no reds though). That was a travesty, only made worse by the ref ignoring a clear handball in the penalty area two minutes later.
If I may quote from the Guardian's minute by minute report ...
"20 mins: Still no bookings, though Seb Larsson could really have been punished for fairly gratuitously kicking Ameobi in the chest. The free-kick, from 35 yards out, is arrowed towards goal by Cabayé – never likely to beat Mignolet, but impossible to catch as it dipped under the crossbar, so he tipped it over. The corner is put back behind his own goal by Gardener, but the referee thinks it's a goal kick.
25 mins: RED CARD FOR TIOTÉ! Tioté tussles with Colback for possession. Fletcher nips in front and takes the ball, and Tioté's studs take his shin. It wasn't horribly violent, but it was nasty. And the really strange thing is, it all ends with a Newcastle free kick.
26 mins: So Newcastle had been awarded a free-kick for Colback's hassling of Tioté before the stud attack that followed, making the red card offence even less explicable. Anyway, the ball is sent into the penalty area where Seb Larsson very deliberately controls it with his left arm. Newcastle appeal but neither the referee nor Sky's commentators are impressed."
Referree. Bent, bent I tells yer.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
They had a Senior Premier League Referee as part of the ESPN coverage on Sportsnet World. He said it was a straight red with out question. I'd sooner take that over some journo struggling to use an antiquated clunky live blogging tool for delayed minute by minute coverage.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
Tiote has got away with shockers before (like just about every other defensive midfielder), and it was definitely a booking, but I was genuinely surprised it was a straight red. I was equally surprised that Larsson wasn't booked for the (accidental) studs to Shola's chest/neck, and it took Cabaye so long to get booked (after Tiote was sent off though). I wasn't sure if it was black and white goggles, but I don't think it's my bias coming through?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
I thought there was some atrocious refereeing this weekend (and particularly today) in the Premier League. Clattenburg has obviously decided he will start his one man crusade on diving....

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
Let RDM know then!
Hopefully you're pissed off for the right reasons, that your team lost due to the stupidity of 2 players getting sent off in one of the most important games of the season. I do think RDM should have taken Torres off before he got his 2nd yellow though.
