No complaints about any of the reds for me. I love Clifford's tenacity but he does like a lunge and that red has been coming.

Great cross and finish for our 1st. The other 2 were a bit messy!

For those who said they didn't think the 1st was really deserving of a red, I think this shows how definite it was. Look at where his arm/elbow are.

Just watched the highlights. Still not entirely convinced that the first red was warranted. Some referees would have given a yellow for it. Clifford's red was a definite; if you go in with two feet there is only going to be one outcome. Bizarre goalkeeping for the second goal!

I was sat in line with the keepers error, he took it a yard over the line, but, on tv replays its looks like he doesn't!

The linesman couldnt have been more certain - flagging like a devil immediately. Definite goal

Agree with this (after seeing the BP highlights).Looked like Corr could have claimed the third if he'd wanted, too.

I see things exactly this way as well.

Anthony Strucker ??

Diving in like that so soon after arguably a controversial red for them was madness, especially as the ref was no doubt looking for a chance to even things up. I love the bite Clifford gives us in midfield but he needs to start using his head a bit more otherwise I fear he'll see red a few more times before the season is out.

just watched the video for the Hurst goal, really impressed with the passing. some slick movement and although a nasty deflection, was well worth the goal.

Not to mention his knee.

That's exactly what I thought. I thought the ball had crossed the line and immediately looked the lino. I was surprised it was given because I was surprised a 'keeper would make such a basic error, and because I didn't think the lino would be alert enough.
