It makes you wonder what people were watching and if they have a clue.

That is the problem can't see it getting much better.
We will get the odd win but if things dont change quickly we will get religated.
I am really gutted to say that thought this might be our season
Unless there is massive change soon I agree with you.

Never a red ( even with the awful camera work)

I reckon they did worse in the same game. They elbow on stevensons back looked nastier

I just don't get the inconsistencies.
If anything DKE foul/kick 2 minutes after the red was 10 times worse than Stevenson's challenge!

No matter how bad a performance a player has produced, you should never boo your own individual players. What good will ever come from it?
Booing the team as a collective is fair.

As I said earlier, for those sorts of incidents you usually get the opposition surrounding the ref, screaming blue murder and begging for a red card. That doesn't happen here at all.
When I saw it I said yellow.
The ref is a lot closer though for sure.
It certainly wasn't malicious on Stevenson's part.

Don't they extend it then if they agree with the ref?

A few observations from watching the highlights
1 - maybe it's just the microphones but the atmos inside the ground seems so echoy, the few noises of the crowd and players reverberating around the arena..was it like that live today?
2 - looks to me like Burge ought to have saved the first goal, or is that just due to a trick of the camera angle?
3 - f'ing sensational from Stevenson - great goal - that's his price tag upped by a few thousand!
4 - crap defending for both their goals especially the second with two fluffed clearances, Turnbull first then not sure who fluffed the second
Unfortunately with Willis and Turnbull in particular we're in the situation where we can't drop them due to lack of replacements but they have been making costly errors and must have low confidence by now, which means they may well benefit from missing a couple of games. Our squad is so thin that these guys are "undroppable" and we're being exposed as a result..

On what grounds could it be appealed? Its not a howler of a decision.

Would imagine so but will fall on deaf ears as camera footage is poor and refs rarely change.
Just to think Stevenson gets a red for that and Mckevely (or however you spell it) got a yellow for his Challenge of Lameires last season!

Noticed that all game long. We had the ball just outside their penalty box all game long, but only had Tudgay in the box. He was outnumbered about 4 to 1.

Does anyone think it was a red ?

Tudgay was so isolated today, he was poor but his team mates didn't help & the reaction to his subbing was bang out of order.

Unfortunately the idiot with the whistle did and to the FL that's all that will matter.

Nobody played off him or gambled on anything. Jones and reid should run in behind every time for the flick on.

I think it could be interpreted as serious foul play and thus a red. Unlucky, not a howler of a decision. He was very late, and slid in with force. In order to appeal we'd have to prove it did not fit the following and that's all down to interpretation. Plus the camera angle is poor and of poor quality.

Yep and that's why he tried to control everything on his chest and either lost position straight away or their CBs just headed the ball before he could get his chest on it.

Its about personnel and formation and tactics. Neither of them are interested in getting in the box, they are both hug the touchline type wingers. We then play 1 striker and hoping rose can get into the box. The whole way we attack teams needs a complete rethink. How do we want to play football? How do we want to score goals? Etc.

That's why they should be in a 4 4 2 if they want to do that.
Even when mcbean came on he stood up front on his own.
I'd have put a striker in for rose when he went off.

I have no reason why we signed him. Felt sorry for him when he came on today.

442, 41212, 532, 352, 4312, 4411, 4231 (with 2 strikers not 3 midfielders)))
Lots of options.

Unless there is an option to sign him in January the whole thing is pointless.
No idea as to what the thinking was, past doing someone a favour.
