Routledge sending off

[Romford Hoop]

Red card overturned as appeal was successful, have not seen it on TV but looked to me as that he wanted to punch and kick Henry, that is surely agressive action regardless of whether he connects, not so sure Barton would have won that appeal.

I thought the red was harsh but did not expect it to be overturned as Routledge definitely had a little kick at Henry when he was on the floor.

Compare to Shaun Derry's infamous red, which was not overturned, and tell me which one had the better case for being rescinded.

I thought it was a red. Henry was doing a good solid job & Routledge lead his head in (very lightly but still did) lashed out & looked like he was going to do some weird angry umpa lumpa karate kick. A red for me

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

At the game I thought bang on. After watching it on MOTD I think the ref gave the card to the wrong player.

Henry was very lucky to stay on the pitch. Literally went through Routledge. In fairness to Routledge he had a right to be aggrieved & only nudged Henry with his leg, didn't draw back & kick him. Right decision overturning it I think.

Henry got the ball, I thought he would get a yellow though. Routs sebding off was wrong.

Getting the ball doesn't mean you can upend someone by going through them I'm afraid. Them days are over.

Same as scissor tackles, tackles from behind, still could get the ball but illegal.

Fact is Routledge did kick out at Henry on the floor, regardless of how much contact there actually was, the intent to do harm to Henry was there.

Was just as much a red card as Giroud's on Onouha

Agree with this totally!

Whilst I feel Routledge's red was harsh, he definitely did have a kick at Karl Henry and by the letter of the law, he should have had no real case to dispute the red. As someone else said earlier in the thread, had that have been Barton there is no chance whatsoever of the card being overturned.

In my opinion there is no consistency when it comes to how the league manages disciplinary issues.

Was that rescinded by the WFA again��

[Kit]

Right to be rescinded but also correct that had that been Barton, no ####ing way would it have been and that is what is wrong ! Think may be a little retribution here for the Refs decision with regards to Green, again wrong but it looks that way !

Probably

Poor tackle by Henry,never a red for routledge.routledge never kicked out in the slightest, poor decision by the ref who gave Swansea the benefit of most calls

Thought the ref was a disgrace.

Like most weeks.

Is it only us that gets p!ss poor officials every week, or do every clubs fans say the same I wonder.

[West Acton]

I never thought Henrys tackle was that bad myself seen plenty worse

Wayne had had a go at Henry off the ball prior to that by all accounts not caught by the match officials and henry had an evener. If you dont like it don't give it
