Yep, Shaw's time is done here

Hippo’s trying too hard to be Stretty/RDD.

It’s a bit pathetic when normal people are actually trying to discuss a topic.

Yep, Shaw's time is done here

.....

More to the point, hopefully so is Youngs.

Hippo’s trying too hard to be Stretty/RDD.

.....

He has also aligned himself with Nobb, so his agenda is crystal clear. See RK's earlier comment on youth.

You're an idiot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you are too simple to understand this. let me try one last time:

a player plays well for thirty minutes - he even scores a goal. he then proceeds to lie down in the centre circle and he goes to sleep for the rest of the game, would you say he had a good game? of course you wouldn't.

well being sent off is exactly that.

even worse, because you can not sub that player off.

the first job of any footballer is to not be sent off. it's the minimum requirement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, let's use you little fictional narrative, but change the sending off time to 93 minutes and the score line to 5-0. There is no way he could have played well in the previous 93 minutes?



Now change the red card to a possible red card that didn't get given

I'll stick with my factual statement, you are an idiot
----------------------------------------------------------------------
again, why bring up the one in a million case?

99% of the time it won't be someone who scored a hat trick and it won't be in the last minute.

if you get sent off on 70 minutes, that is still terrible for your team.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let it go, judge the player on his performance not a potential red card (that wasn't a red card in reality or the laws of the game).

Depends when and how you get sent off, Hippo. If he scored a hattrick and got sent off in the last minute, I don't think many would say that he had a bad game.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yes but how often does that happen?
------
That's beside the point.

Ole was sent off preventing a goal. Don't remember anyone saying that was a bad game.

So, your point is null and void.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
again, why bring up the one in a million situation that happened twenty five years ago?
------
It isn't one in a million and more likely than someone sleeping after playing well for 30 minutes.

It also takes into account of what happened. I also mentioned Ole's own red card when he played for us.

"i got a babysitter in, she left the stove on and nearly burned the house down, but she was nice to the kids, so i was pleased with her performance"

this is the level of thinking by you morons on here.
----
No it isn't. Are you stupid?

the red card is part of his performance though isn't it?
---------------
Literally not, in this case.

This is Hafi levels of nonsense... We now have to judge a player's performance on whether they did something that could have got them a card?

the sleeping thing was an analogy. a player who goes to sleep after thirty minutes is as useful as a player who gets sent off after thirty minutes.

i can not think of a single other time something like that ole sending off has happened, so it's an irrelevant anomaly. saf was furious about it back in the day by the way.
-----
Do you know why SAF was furious?

Hippo and RDD really are turning this board to shiiiiiit.

Good thing there was VAR, Hippo. Helped the ref make the right decision and not give a red.

obviously yes? i feel like i am in bizarro world on this threade. how on earth is this up for debate? of course you have to judge a player on this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are saying that you have to judge a player's performance solely on whether he might have got a red card. It's imbecilic. This is why you feel like you are in bizarro world, you have made an imbecilic point on a thread containing non imbeciles.

Don't sweat it, mate.

so what is the logic here then? if a player punches another player and the ref misses it, that is totally fine is it? that is just good play, he didn't get sent off after all?

The logic is simple... You judge a player's contribution to the overall match.

If he karate kicks the ref after 1 minute, he's probably due a bit of criticism.

If he scores a braces and gets sent off in the final minute, you weigh up his overall performance and maybe take into account the game/s he will miss.

If he has a good game and makes a tackle that the ref and VAR think is not a red card, then he's had a good game.

Was wondering how he played as I didn't get to see the game, cba to ready through 3 pages of this shiyte though.

playing a good game of football = doing stuff that makes it more likely, that your team will win

playing a bad game of football = doing stuff, that makes it more likely that your team will lose

if you go down to ten men, you usually don't win.

so if you do something that could get you sent off, then you have played a bad game of football, because you have done something that could have made it much, much harder for your own team.

this is why people often say a player who gets sent off "let his team down"


how on earth is this hard to grasp.
----
So if the ref sends off a player due to mistaken identity, has that player let his team down?
What if the player gets red carded for a yellow card offence? What if the red card helped the team win (Ole example already given, and Suarez at the world Cup another). You have to be an idiot to not to understand this point.
