Would say looking at that that Vassell was definitely a red. Baker howver looking at that from that angle seems to only warrant a yellow.

 

[Nick]

I am not too sure, Bakers was worse than I first thought and looks like a red!

 

[Otis]

when I first saw it I thought yellow. From that angle for me, that still looks like a yellow. Wasn't the same straight on lunge as Vasell's and he did try to come from the side slightly. It's all about opinions at the end of the day though!

 

[cornoccfc]

Thought ref was overly strict at the game and seeing the highlights only confirms that!

Football edging closer to becoming a non-contact sport unfortunately, I'd say Vassell and Baker warranted only yellows.

Also noticable that when Vassell flies in we protest a but and one of ours is even trying to help him up after Bakers challenge half the Lester side charge the ref demanding retribution, waving imaginary cards, pressurising the muppet of a ref into a decision. Its a sad reflection on football but it helped Norwich and a few other to success last year - are we just too nice?

 

[Macca]

both red for me

 

[Otis]

Fair enough.

Have often thought this to be fair, since the Prem days. It's something I hate to see, like over inflated wages and I'm proud to support a club that doesn't partake.






but yeah I wish we'd do it if it helped us out!

Vassell 100% a red.

Baker not a red, had Vassell not been sent off and not infront of 6000 screaming Leicester fans it would of been a yellow.

I'm sorry but that Baker tackle was horrible. WTF was he thinking? Their guy was going nowhere, we had 2 on him and Baker comes in from behind and hacks him down with a scissor tackle, nowhere near the ball and taking him completely out. If I were Thorn I would be furious with Baker, he cost us the chance to get something out of this game. The jury's been out on him since he joined and this is how he shows us what he can do?

I honestly think baker was a yellow and vassel deserved a red ive watched it 3 times and each time vassel looks worse.

 

[Skybluemilf]

Both yellows for me, both players over reacted when challenged and the ref was diabolical!

Agree. No doubt that Vassell's was much worse.

 

[georgehudson]

wellens was i think the bloke baker challenged, he is regarded by k/stitchers as the biggest 'wind up' merchant in the championship

 

[stupot07]

Bakers tackle looked horrific on the highlights. Both straight reds.

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah, I thought Baker's tackle was worse than I originally thought it was.

 

[Otis]

Be interesting to see if referees' opinions would differ if a few of them were asked to comment. Really divided opinion on here.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Both Shit tackles, Vassel left the floor a bit more and was more direct but baker can't feel hard done by if we are honest.

 

[Changeyourface]

Both fair decisions, Bakers was definatley a red

 

[kdp888]

Vassell's was worse, but still both reds for me! Delighted though that Baker now misses three games!
