Was it really a sending off?

[vanderlaans_header]

So in the cold light of day for the challenge on Bent was it a sending off?

Having looked at it I don’t think it was. the defender impedes the player but doesn’t foul him. Bent went to ground for no real reason he wasn’t tripped or shoved. The ball was running away from Bent and the keeper was there. Also there was a defender level or maybe just in front near the centre.

'My Opinion' was it wasn’t a sending off, but the ref did make 2 mistakes.

1. The defender attempted to impede Bent and it was a yellow card.
2. If he wasn’t going to book or send of the defender he should have played advantage and Ince would have had a goal out of it.

So I don’t think it was a sending off but we were robbed of a goal by impetuous and inconsistent refereeing.

Yes in hindsight he should have allowed play to continue and booked the player afterwards.

Still, the ref didn't pass the ball straight to a Wolves striker or punch an easily catchable

and yet he'll sit there this morning with his assessor. the bloke will say to him 'ooh I think you got that one wrong ref' 'oh yes...I did didn't I? tee hee'.

and that's the end of it.

there has to be more accountability. like someone else has said, sometimes refs get things wrong. they may miss fouls, that I can accept. but giving the foul when he was clearly last man and not so much as a booking? completely unacceptable.

But what do you think he got wrong ... Not sending off or not allowing play to go on to see if there was an advantage?

He should only have blown if he thought it was a sending off offence - if not he should have seen the phase play out ie waited for advantage and awarded the goal.

He blew then decided he wasn't sure it was a sending off so did neither...you could just tell from the Wolves' players reaction that they were expecting either a sending off or a goal...just the same as Bournemouth and Sheff Wed at home...at least in those matches we benefitted from a sending off and a penalty both of which ultimately won us the game.

I know the Wolves game is history now so this is the last I'm saying about it.Just watched the high lights again & I'm even more ****ed off now than on the night of the game.The closest Wolves player to Grant when he punched into his own net is Danny Batth!! The same player who pulled Bent back & should've been sent off!
Who knows now but maybe a different result if he'd have gone?
I'm still ****ed off about losing to them but I'm also still confident we'll get promotion one or or another.
COYR!!
Just had to get that off my chest. Cheaper than therapy

well essentially both.

his initial mistake was not waiting for an advantage but as I said earlier I can accept that. that's a mistake that can be made. if a player runs through on goal and gets tripped a ref can be forgiven for blowing his whistle immediately because of the importance of the situation.

but the unacceptable mistake is not send

Sorry Yamyamram, but you can't blame Batth for the injustice of the disallowed goal. Contact was minimal if any, and I think Bent decided to go down because he couldn't get to it. What followed was an injustice for Derby and the goal should have stood as Wolves keeper messed it up. Looking at it from another view, take the Bent/Batth situation in isolation and he might have been
