Forest vs Stoke Red Card

[Justylove]

This one in the EFL cup last night.

Referee didn't initially give a foul, however on the say so of the 4th official brings play back and sends Goncalves off. It's a prime example of why fans and commentators always cry "but he got the ball"

Shocking challenge, only won the ball because the Stoke player feared getting his leg snapped in half

I agree, even as a Forest fan, it ticks all the boxes for an early bath for me!

It's that jumping motion with both feet off the ground which is a signature of SFP

Great work by the 4th. And its easier with comms - without comms, then as an AR/4th you're simply faced with the fact that the referee apparently saw it clearly and just disagrees with you.
If you think the ref's view is blocked it's easy, get involved.

But if his view looks clear? hmm....
