Never quite sure about this, is it possible to get a red card for serious foul play or reckless play if you fly into a challenge but don?t make contact/make minimum contact with the player - ie. the challenge was reckless but you didn?t cause an injury?

If the targeted player manages to avoid the deemed reckless challange, would you let the offender off to have another go?

I'm the same really. I really respect what he's done there and he does come across well in interview but by Christ I would be gutted if Town played like his teams.

i took my daughter for the first time last night, knowing how biased i am towards town i asked her what she thought of bromley, her reply "they were awful, they were a waste of time, there was only one team trying to play football".

Just watched the highlights, the goals looked better this time round, hopefully we can now push on.

Absolutely 100% red card. (Both of them).

I was watching them again at 5am great stuff

[clarevoyant.]

What an absolute pleasure that was.
After 6 or is it 7 years moaning about that sh..house club, from the way they treat away fans to their anti football tactics seeing the man responsible for these anti football tactics being dragged away by security(?) whilst trying to get to Webby was a delight. Then seeing him peering out off the hospitality window like some prisoner in Stalag 13,for the rest of the game, shear poetry.

Well summed up. Very satisfying indeed, get f**ked Woodman.

Was a bit dubious it was a red last night but no doubt today as led with studs up

Was it Webb who upset him or Paddy Byrne?

Yes,I said to a bloke near me,that they're so drilled in the art of time wasting that they don't know when to stop.I bet they do it in the club car park, getting to the exit then getting out to check the lights and tyres 😅.

I think it?s continued at 1-0 in a paradoxical way to when their either drawing or winning. If they?re holing on fir points it?s in the belief that the ref won?t add on the correct amount of time, whereas if they?re 1-0 down it?s done so that the ref, if adding on a large chunk of time, causes the nerves and panic in the other teams fans and players, we?ve all seen that before in a narrow 1-0 lead. Either way it?s done to disrupt and break up play. Thankfully last night it didn?t work.

Looked like Webb but all in close proximity so could be wrong.

Having already got a red, will he get a second retrospectively for violent conduct, what's good for the banks is good for the woodman.

Something else I noticed while woodman was being dragged back, Webster (their unused sub)returning from a warm up was having a good laugh at the demise of his manager(???)and also shared a joke with Cookie. Not the thing to do I would have thought.

I spotted that too and said to me Dad that he's had a joke with Cook and gone for a chat with our lads 😆

Exactly, you'd have thought, with him being a centre half and his team mate just having been red carded, he'd have been expecting to get the call, it was asthough he wasn't bothered. Trouble in camp woodman?!!!

I watched this closely and literally couldn’t be sat in a better position to see, Webster wasn’t having a laugh with Cook he was stood in front of our dugout laughing and pointing at Paddy Byrne saying look look he’s taken his glasses off now ��

Webster is a massive dickhead but strangely I can’t help but quite like him.

Edit - Also, it was 100% Paddy Byrne that they wasn’t happy with, he was the first to jump up and got in Woodmans face as soon as the red came out he must have said something to upset them because they kept going back at him, Webb was walking about swinging arms about with no real purpose other than his tiny spat with one of their bench (assistant?) can’t help but love him.

My own view is that it should be a red card, but was unsure about what the letter of the law was

One of my reasons for asking was I?ve seen Lisandro Martinez make those odd two footed jumping/blocking challenges which seem to me to be very close to a red card, but he gets away with them

Mandy looked a bit out of his comfort zone hugging the touch line, was never able to get the better of his man

[JonB]

Defenders know with mandy that he isnt that quick so can give him a bit more room. He's not a tricky winger type, more good technical player that can make things happen.

If a would-be murderer fires a gun at somebody and misses, is he completely innocent and allowed to go free?

Stonewall red. Stoods up, out of control, could?ve been a leg breaker.

It certainly didn't work yesterday lol. I haven't any problem with the ten, or nine men as last night, behind the ball, but it's the dark arts that gets me. The young lad Pepple has been sent out to see if he can cut it in league 2, and up to now, he's been mugged by defenders but nothing like last night. The ref,apart from the on-field red card, let a lot go and the two Bromley players who were in the refs ear, during the goalkeeper con incident,should be ashamed because they were after a red card, but Pepple never touched him.
I'd love them to go straight back down,but that won't happen. Refs sing to Woodman's song, but it was satisfying to see him sent off last night for a change.

Not sure there was much intent, he had his studs up but made no contact, it looks worse than it was, definite red though

Mandy does what Mandy does best. He never truly dribbles, but has a way to run with the ball and avoid any tackles by cutting off his defender, running in front of them and not giving them a chance to take the ball. There was an example when he was involved in our first goal. Then of course he mostly finds a team mate.

Long may he be here.
