What on earth was you thinking CISSE!

[rangerforevereastcote]

You had 2 broken legs you'd prob react the same wsy

[jmelanie]

Wonder if he would have been sent off if this had happened in Italy. Hopefully he will learn from this and avoid it happening in the future.

[bushcelt1]

bad mistake by him, before it happened i think we would of gone on to win easy.

agree robbo....the game was ours to lose before the sending off.

[gravesendhoop]

he would have been better off putting pressure on the ref to show a red card. oh well he'll still collect 50 odd grand over the next 3 games for doing nowt and if we go down? no skin off his back just find another club!!

I'm sorry but I really don't see that as an excuse. He's a professional footballer and if he wants to continue plying his trade he can't react every time he gets fouled. Apart from anything else the challenge wasn't a leg breaker, it was the sort of yellow card challenge you see every game in the Premier League.

Cisse has cost us 3 points today and gifted 3 points to one of our nearest rivals. I hope when Hughes has watched the tapes back he has the balls to tell him that!

[TexasRanger]

Cost us big time. Keep you're f***ing cool man!

[Stanley]

Yes Cisse was stupid to react but did the challenge which went straight through him get cautioned, no.

yes it did, he got a yellow for it.

Another soft red card ruins a game, why cant football learn from other sports. This isnt working.

We will not see Cisse again until Bolton away in mid March, he will probably have grossed well over £150k in that time.

Make's your wonder.

[jmelanie]

Do we know if he will definitely miss three matches?

I would call it stupid, not soft! You just can't grab a player by the throat 5 feet away from the ref and not be sent off!

[northampton rs]

Why oh why did he not just stay on the floor and roll around like most would, then the defender proberly would have got the red. Poor jugement by him should know better a player of his experience.

Soft not in terms of what the rules may be (im not sure), but in terms of what the result of cisse's actions were. Yes they can be deemed as intimidating but they are all grown men and in no other sport would he punished as much as he was in football. If cisse does the same thing in the 90th minute then the punishment is suddenly a lot less, does that make any sense?

It's clearly violent conduct and soccer has defined rules for that, yes he did nothing to hurt him but you can be sent off for a lunging 2 footed studs up tackle that completely misses! I play ice hockey we get away with all kinds of rough and sometimes dirty stuff but that's irrelevant, this is football and Cisse's stupidity cost us 3 valuable points IMHO!
