Any of you refs at the Valley today?

Can any of you tell me the difference between the disgraceful foul on Benson which required two minutes of treatment, and didnt even merit a yellow card, and Benson's foul at Colchester that earned him a straight red?

Benson took a lot of stick for his red cards and today we saw that it's not that simple. I accept refs missing things but the inconsistency in decision making is less acceptable.

    Was BWP offside? Looked like a Leyton Orient situation to me.

    Were Racon's hands in front of his face or above his head?

    What was that advantage about where the ref allowed play to go on for about 10 seconds and then called it back because the player lost it? It's not rugby.

    It was Reid actually. And this is CP's view:

    Chris Powell had no complaints about the decision to award the second free-kick - Kyel Reid blocked first shot with his hands (MW)
  • Didn't think the foul on Benson was anything like his sending off so no comparison.

    Jimbo, deliberate fouls have never been red or yellow cards.
  • "It was the correct call because it looks like our player wants to be in goal the way he handled it," said Powell.

    Powell once again putting across a high opinion of Reid !

    Yes, but what would he know?
  • I would like to see what occurred first half as it looked like a deliberate body check on Benno that led to his injury and therefore could have been a pen for violent conduct

    No, would have been a foul, or if a red card issued, serious foul play.....

    *gives up*

    ok but if it was deliberate then it would have been a pen and it was strange the rush to stop play and then give them an uncontested drop ball. Other than that I think the ref had an ok game

    Sorry, wasn't there - does sound odd now you've elaborated.
  • 2nd half - break away by semedo and their bloke just chops in down with no intention of making a legal tackle - is this not a professional foul?

    Thought the ref got easily swayed by Huddersfield today.

    Oh well that's me bang to rights then...care to elaborate, or am I not worthy?

    Unless you are Wayne Campbell..
  • Benson dived in, both feet off the ground.

    The town player went to clear the ball but Benson nipped in the take the ball and the defender caught his ankle. A foul, maybe a booking but not similar IMHO.

    And since you've gone into one I'll remind you that you asked and so I replied. Nothing about putting you in you place FFS Richard.

    The Colchester away one, I'm talking about. That is not how I remember it and we can go and look at the archive, I guess. And yes I have had several beers and an indifferent Indian in the Bengal Lancer in Chislehurst..

    There's no such thing as a "professional foul" ....... just media speak.

    The offence is being in breach of the laws of the game, to prevent a clear goal scoring opportunity.
    Otherwise ordinarily there is "serious foul play" or violent conduct".

    With Prague on the fact that at Colchester it was not a red card
