le boss Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Better side won but the bobbly pitch was the real winner. Clevedon keeper is a bit of an angry young man too!! Great facilities by the look of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 It was a superb ground and yes, Helston had the chances to have closed the game half way through the second half. A very entertaining and exciting game as I have have tried to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomersetObserver Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Despite the very bobbly surface a cracking game of football especially the second half. Helston would have been gutted if they had only come away with a point as especially after the red card they were utterly dominant and even before that were the better team. But fair play to Helston they never got desperate they kept playing their football and eventually got their just reward. Colwell and Shepherd the two standout players on the pitch for me, Colwell every time he had the ball used it well and Shepherd was a thorn in Clevedon's side all afternoon the only way they could stop him was to constantly foul him.

Foul Throw 3 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Surely Matt hasn't been given a straight red for celebrating? That's outrageous. The effort and time that goes into running a team at that level and he's sent for enjoying one of the brief moments of ecstasy. That's what it's all about!

Foul Throw 3 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I understand the law but a red is too harsh. A referee albeit a difficult job needs to impose some form of humanity to that situation and have understanding at the elation. Was Jose Mourinho sent off at Old Trafford when he raced down the touchline when his Porto side beat Utd? I can't remember now but an infamous scene.

le boss Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 94th minute winner against the top side in potentially a title decider. The ref has clearly never played such a game and they wonder why they get such bad press. No doubt the FA bigwigs will be delighted for him leaving his discretion at home.

BrummyBarry Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 It isn't covered at the end of the clip about the Helston manager but that is surely a good case as any to appeal as looking at the list of sending off offences that hasn't come close to it I can't even see where you could warn or give him a yellow. I can only think that he has done something else that the video doesn't show as theres surely no way a ref is sending him off for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Hocking Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Mikel Arteta was given a yellow for "excessively celebrating" Declan Rice's 97th-minute winner in Arsenal's game vs Luton earlier this season and closer to home Jake Ash got a yellow for excessive celebration of Mousehole’s 97th minute goal vs Bemerton Heath Harlequins in December. Both of those cards felt (to this Arsenal & Mousehole fan) like ridiculously over the top killjoy behaviour. A red card for celebrating a goal and I’m joining the “game’s gone” club.

Railwayman in Exile Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Based on the clip, there is a lot of speculation to why he's sent off. You would need to see more, and a full run from the start of the goal celebration, but having stood behind Matt at games in the past, I did wonder if he'd been sent off due the actions of another. It's safe to say I could stand close to the dugout with my grandson, whilst others I don't feel happy within a hundred yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourhavingalaugh Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 ‘SENDING OFF Sending-off offences include (but are not limited to):’ says it all really. He could have been sent off for anything as it’s unlimited. So the referee has decided to send him off for reasons currently unknown and forum users have given their own opinions on the matter. It would be great to see referee’s match reports (made public under the Freedom of Information Act - FOI) on such matters so we can all learn something. Opinions are only opinions and forum users shouldn’t be so defensive. St Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinions are only opinions and forum users shouldn’t be so defensive. The FA are not a public authority and as such can't be served with an FOI. Whilst the list is not exhaustive, it is close to a full set. There's not a great deal more that could be added to it. Obviously it would become a problem if after every goal managers and coaches were bolting down the touchlines and would expect the rules to be made specific in this scenario. Top 2 clash, won in the death, providing there are no other offences, I think that gets overlooked in most cases. Of course, teams could help themselves, where they want the manager to be involved in the celebration, perhaps take the celebrations to him. Not sure if you are aiming the defensive comment at me, but, I was simply answering a question about if there was a rule about leaving the technical area and seemed to be immediately judged as suggesting the decision was correct, which was not the case. Further comments were made about the rules this, the rules that (still without having read them). I know they can't have, because they would have realised I was pointing to the fact there is no offence of leaving the technical area to celebrate a goal. Make of that what you will...

Without seeing the full clip, which I doubt is available, it's pure speculation or guess work to why he was sent off. It doesn't help that Steve's commentary says he been sent off for celebrating as that sets the hare's running. I did wonder at the time if it was two separate events as the assistant and referee are going back to their positions to restart play, no indication to suggest an offense has been committed and that Matt had been sanctioned for an action of another of which he takes responsibility. Again speculation, it's like trying to solve a mystery with the first piece and last piece of action, with anything that happened missing..

Matt certainly seems to suggest via his twitter post it was for that, which adds a bit more context. "Jose Mourinho type celebrations are not allowed though" But you are right, the highlights don't give us enough to draw conclusions on whether anything over and above the goal celebration was done that caused the referee to send him off.
