    Gone down SO easily. Absolute disgrace.

    True. But Cresswell shouldn't have given him the opportunity. He's seen what they've been like all half.

    The ball is clearly travelling away from goal anyway. Ref is a clown.

    After seeing him wink, I hope his leg gets broken.

    You.

    Whatever, this ref is a total joke.
  • alderzalderz
    It was a blatant foul on Bowen before they broke too. The ref is appalling

    Hasn't this ref been done for match fixing?

    Harsh but IMO, unfortunately I think there was enough intent and contact from Cresser to support the decision,
  • WHU_Champo_league_in_7_yearsWHU_Champo_league_in_7_years
    Zouma should've been bolting it back

    Obviously Cresswell mistake, but Zouma should've been there

    Contact is allowed. You are allowed to touch opposition players.

    It was a stonewall red

    Last man and a blatant foul

    Shocking ref, Cresswell should know better

    Our inexperience showed there

    Absolutely disgusting. European football desperately needs some refs with a spine.

    These teams just flop around screaming and the refs lap it up. We're being made mugs of because we have some self-respect.

    Hes wrong side of the player, he clearly grabs him, and he's last man

    Dont see the controversy

    Whether Bowen is fouled or not it's irrelevant
  • yoyoyoyo
    Nieve defending. I would expect Antonio to go down as well, can't blame the forward

    I’m sorry but that is never, ever a red card. He’s barely touched him, and it’s running wide of the edge of the box. At worst it’s a yellow, but honestly I wouldn’t have been shocked to see a foul not even given.
  • HamstewHamstew
    This ref is woeful. That's just a fact.

    No it’s not, if we are encouraging red cards in 1/4 finals of European tournaments for that, we may as well go home
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    And now Moyes gets a yellow
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    DM gets a yellow as the Ref came off

    I am staggered you think that was a red.

    Again, contact is allowed. Unless the contact legitimately forces a player to go down, it isn't a foul.

    Dembele has felt a touch, fallen down howling and then had a little wink afterwards to confirm he's a cheat.

    In the modern game, it was a foul. Not a red card offence, but a foul. He will have seen how fussy the ref has been, so was asking for trouble, IMO.
  • Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_MoyesJorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes
    I also thought they'd tightened up this rule, so that if the ball is travelling away from goal it isn't a red.
  • EXETERHAMMEREXETERHAMMER
    Not a red. He was running away from goal.
    Cresswell pulled him back however and was looking at the player. Yellow only.
  • stevesteve
    Just have to get on with it ,Backs to the wall and all that
  • ScotHammerScotHammer
    Not a red card IMO, but this throwing yourself to the floor for anything needs stamped upon. We touched someone’s foot earlier and the Lyon player went down holding his knee!!
  • alderzalderz
    Outside of the red, I think they’ve had plenty of control of the ball but we’re dangerous on the break. Benrahma has had plenty of chances to open them up and failed to do so, and I’m sure he’ll be off at halftime for Johnson. Two banks of four, play for set pieces
  • MIAHammerMIAHammer
    CBS Sports are showing the Dawson pass and Benrahma shot about 40 times. Anyone would think this was the only highlight of the entire game.

    Football should not be encouraging players to do that to benefit.

    Sorry, it’s just simple stuff. You don’t encourage a player, who is clear into the box, to dive to get a fellow competitor sent off. He should be trying to score. It’s rubbish.
