BLUENUT Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Did he deserve to be shown a 2nd yellow for trying to take a quick freekick while 3-0 down away from home? Have you ever seen anyone sent off for this before? Absolute joke in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barn Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 He should have gone a bit earlier but you're right that was one of the worst desicions ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofty Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Funny (but not really) thing is, no sooner did I type that Deco looked like he was trying to get himself sent off after another stupid foul, then the ref sent him off for .. whatever the hell it was he sent him off for. It's as if the ref thought to himself .. hmm I should have sent him off just now but I'd forgotten I'd already booked him. I know, what the hell I'll send him off now. Either that or it was in the script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUENUT Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Either that or it was in the script. I've started thinking along those line's, especially after seeing the penalty Gerrard was awarded last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) I dont think he should have been sent off...he should have been subbed much earleir and I can't believe I'm typing it but I would have rather left Malouda on and brought Belletti on for Deco on the night, that way at least the players would have been more clear of their roles.

clubhappy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 He was on thin ice since the first half and dosent learn does he. He has a nasty habit of leaving foot in and clumsy challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Scolari should have taken Deco off after he made a clumsy challenge while already on a yellow card. After that he was walking on thin ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Chelsea Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 just a jobs worth ref trying to make a name for himself with eufa implying the letter of the law to the maximum to a top footballing name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chippy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) Although he was on the edge for his tackling a second yellow that late in the game at 3-1 down for a quick free kick is a ridiculous decision, worse still he can't even appeal like if it had been a straight Red.

ChrisC Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mind you, our record for late reds isn't great when you consider Drogba's CL Final card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethicalstrategy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mind you, our record for late reds isn't great when you consider Drogba's CL Final card! That's hardly relevant here. Of course he shouldn't have been booked for taking the freekick. It's true he was lucky to stay on the pitch after an earlier tackle but that doesn't make it right.

PloKoon13 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 It was rubbish. First yellow should never have stood, it was a spectacular dive (one of many) from the Roma man. Second yellow was just a joke... What other foul was this that you're all talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moos Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 What I can't understand is why the club hasn't appealed against the red card yet (or maybe they have and I have missed it?). I think Scolari said that he thought it was a strange sending off and couldn't understand why Deco got a 2nd yellow, so surely he will ask the club to complain agains the sending off? Because it wasn't a 2nd yellow. I can't remember the first he got but PloKoon said it was a dive from the Roma player and I wouldn't be surprised if it was. They were diving all over the pitch that night. And then to get a 2nd yellow because he took the freekick too fast!? :lol: You see people doing that in every single game (more or less) and so far I haven't seen anyone get a yellow for it, let alone being sent off. The worst thing that has happened is that the freekick have gone over to the other team. I'm pi**ed off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4EVERCHELSEA Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The ref shoulda used some brain power. chelsea is down 3-1 with no real hope of coming back and all deco does is take a free kick quick. have some common sense, ref. that was rubbing salt in to the wound from our view point.

dkw Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 ive never understood why the attacking team has to wait for the defending team to be ready for a free kick. why shouldnt the attacking team take advantage and play a quick one, after all they are the ream that was disadvantaged by the foul. now, i was shouting and screaming aling with the rest when henry scored a quick free kick against us. but after thinking about it i think he just scored a very good goal. its ridiculous that a player gets a yellow card for trying to take advantage of a free kick from a situation were they were maybe going to get a chance to score. another stupid rule made up by muppets who never played the game to a decent level.

PloKoon13 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 This reminds me of the incident against Lille (of all teams) in the Champions League a couple of seasons ago, where Ryan Giggs took a quick shot from a free kick before the opposition was ready and before the ref had blown. He was congratulated for this, and gave his team three points... Deco, on the other hand, gets sent off. This is the bit where I remember how much I hate Man Ure...

Lofty Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You know how it goes, the rules are there to be bent. And you don't get any prizes for guessing which teams/players are most likely to get the rules bent in their favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
