The Davies sending off. (1 Viewer)

[woody11462]

Watching the game live (from pitch level might I add) I thought the challenge looked like it may be a red card so wasn't surprised when he was given his marching orders.

Having watched the highlights I still think it's a wreckless, pointless challenge that deserves red but I think that Andy Webster deserved credit for how he reacted. He doesn't make a meal of it and even appears to try to speak to the ref after the challenge and doesn't appear to be appealing for a red card. Too many players would roll around embarrassingly trying to influence the decision.

Thought exactly the same when watching the highlights Webster straight back on his feet far to many times we see players makeing a meal of it so good on him

Defo red card, reckless challenge and silly at that stage in the game

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Yep Webster reaction fabulous and excellent example to other professionals

 

[Steve.B50]

Fair play to Webster, that's the reaction of a proffesional.

At the game it looked worthy of a straight red. Puzzled why Davies carried on arguing, ref never going to change mind.

 

[Otis]

Yep, straight red every day of the week. No idea why he protested about the decision.

It was a clear and straight red card. Dangerous and wreckless. The guy has always been dirty his whole career.

Davies is tweeting that it wasn't a red!! Two footed, both feet off the ground, didn't get the ball, took the player out!!! I think he needs to read the rules.....

Definite red, even though I did think it was Christie who got took out. There was a group of players, and I didn't realise Webster was that mobile (to get up that quick!).

Typical scot; not one of these wussy type players who role around. And around. And around.

Davies has been a thug and totally overrated during his whole career and is probably the worst ever player to gain an england cap ( and we have capped some shit)

Never a sending off in a month of sundays. He never even touched the Northants Elephants player. Should have been a yellow for your man for simulation.

I met him in a pub back in London, we actually watched the England 5-1 win away in Germany together and he seemed a thoroughly decent chap to be fair.

Think that's a bit harsh. Him and Nolan for Bolton were a formidable strike force! I'm sure you wouldn't complain if he'd been in a Sky Bkue shirt!

Old school player. Just look at his goal. Knew where to be at the right place

I too have met Kevin Davies, and he is intelligent and a very mild mannered and quite shy individual, and certainly no thug.
He is however totaly fearless and as hard as they come on the pitch, its almost like two different people.
it was a stonewall red yesterday, but i believe it was late, rather than malicious.
Genuine nice guy

Davies is a good player but a nob, the tackle was a straight red 10 times out of 10, no question.

Webster acted like a man, not like these weak cheats that have appeared in our game copying the continent.
