Today’s Games 2023-2024

It’s one of them. Should Dunk get sent off for being abusive to the referee? Yeah he probably should.

But so should everyone else who does it. And I guarantee there’s footage from a different PL game this weekend where a player has called the ref something awful and not even got booked.

Yep, no sympathy for Dunk. However, refs need to be consistent and I think more players should be booked/sent off.
As Captain, Dunk should be allowed to approach the ref, but with that comes more responsibility and he cannot use foul and abusive language.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Definitely a straight red.
Opta have it as he gets a yellow, followed by a straight red.

Think he managed to pick up his 5th yellow and then (unlike Lemina) not dodge that suspension by getting suspended for a red instead! Think he'll have a 5 yellows and a straight red suspension.

Certainly appears to be the case

Yerson Mosquera scored a late winner (94th minute) last night to put Cincinnati into the semi final of the MLS championship playoff.
They obviously don't realise he is a wolves player though, as VAR looked at a possible offside , but have the goal

I didn’t watch MOTD so I can’t say whether you are right or wrong but I know from experience that you often hear a multitude of comments when players crowd round but it is often difficult to differentiate who said what .Players and fans fail to realise that the referee is there to arbitrate , keep control and do his utmost to keep 22 players on the pitch but I agree if it is clear who said something and they fail to act that is unacceptable in my view

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

It was a straight red for “personal abuse” after the initial yellow card.

(He called our friend Antony a “****ing bell end”)

Having watched the game, I’d say it was a fair critique by Dunk.
A game littered with odd decisions and a ref that lost control of it.
Every decision had multiple players from both teams surrounding the ref, so booking dunk in isolation for it - was a bell end decision.

Book everyone, or no-one - but don’t pick and choose what you apply, when you apply it and who you apply it too.

After he’d given the Brighton penalty, he lost control. Was affected by the crowd and the players. As a neutral, it was a pretty shocking ref performance- and not one you’d expect from ‘supposedly‘ one of the best in the PL

I don't think you can make much of a judgement on these to be honest. I thought the pen he gave against Wood was correct, pulled down a player in a dangerous position. The one he didn't give onfield, that VAR told him to, was much more dubious for me.

I did get the impression that he lost it a bit, but Dunk obviously said something pretty out of order first time, got a yellow and just carried on (but presumably worse). Yes players use bad language all the time, but the line is generally drawn between, "that's a ****ing awful decision" and "you're a *******". They've been told to crack down on dissent (rightly IMO) so Dunk can have no complaints for me and the whataboutery on language when we don't generally know what's been said is a bit silly.

I suppose you’re right, if you’ve got 4 or 5 players shouting at you you can’t really book them all.

I just worry, like Lemina last year, it’s opened another can of worms for the refs. Brighton fans especially will be demanding that every time a player clearly swears at a ref they get sent off, and we all know it won’t happen.

 

[clivewolves]

Spurs vs Villa could be a good game today. Villa ain't as good away from home, but Spurs have their own squad issues. There could be plenty of goals.

Everton vs Man Utd is another interesting one. I nearly always enjoy United getting beat so that would be nice. An Everton loss will be funny though after Luton and Bournemouth winning yesterday.

 

[Woodsetton Wolf]

Don't say this as @Woodsetton Wolf will get fidgety

I should have bet on them to win (-;

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

The spurs injury list is actually a joke. No centre back today. At least they had dier against us!

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Definitely a straight red.
Opta have it as he gets a yellow, followed by a straight red.

So he got a straight red for dissent ? Wow

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

That’s an accurate description though. Should be rescinded !

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

VAR working well in Scotland, bit of a shirt pull and outrageous dive wins Rangers a 93rd minute pen to equalise.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Rangers with their 7th penalty in 4 games.

Which made me think - Have we had 7 in the last 4 years?

 

[Southdownswolf]

So he got a straight red for dissent ? Wow

Not dissent - foul and abusive language.
Yellow for dissent, red for f & a l

 

[Aimless Balls]

Fun start to Spurs-Vile! 4 legit chances already!

 

[Southdownswolf]

Thought this a couple of weeks ago and today confirms it.
The Spurs really slow version of when the saints go marching in really is the most boring and cringe worthy song in football.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Should be 1-1 already

 

[Sedgers]

This is the type of game that makes you fall in love with football.

 

[ombyman]

how have Spurs not scored yet!!!

 

[Southdownswolf]

Spurs really are terrible in front of goal. They should've had about 5 by now.

 

[Matt]

It could genuinely be 4 or 5-1 to Spurs already.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

1-0 Spurs.

To say that was coming would be an understatement.

 

[ombyman]

well that one was worth the wait

 

[manchesterwolf17]

That looked well offside

 

[92WWFC]

Some of the 'defending' in this game is diabolical.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Jared Gillet - Who seemingly officiates in every single football match.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Ridiculous

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Only took 3 minutes to establish what seemed pretty obvious to the naked eye.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

How to ruin the flow of a game. **** off

 

[Aimless Balls]

Why is the world is it taking so long. It’s well off.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

Why is the world is it taking so long. It’s well off.

They're petrified of getting it wrong.

 

[tamwolf]

You could see that was offside on the first picture. It's ridiculous it takes this long.

 

[manchesterwolf17]

You could see that was offside on the first picture. It's ridiculous it takes this long.

To be fair the other angle made it look pretty close. For me goals like that should always just be given, like they would be in the sane world of football that existed before all of this crap.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Why is the world is it taking so long. It’s well off.

Looked level from the other side of the pitch

 

[Clipboard]

Jarred Gillet on VAR. Got there in the end tho.

 

[Pagey]

Cash is one of those players I instantly disliked when Villa signed him, he's a ****.

 

[RosehillWolf]

Villa are just dirty *******s.

 

[tamwolf]

To be fair the other angle made it look pretty close. For me goals like that should always just be given, like they would be in the sane world of football that existed before all of this crap.

The other angle was looking at it from a diagonal though. It was clear from the one along the line and if that was given against Wolves just because it was pretty close; everyone here (including you) would be fuming.
