The performance today was very flat. We were getting much more joy in the first half because they were committing bodies forward but they became very defensive and hard to break down after the sending off, which was one of the softest I've seen. Put it behind us and move on to the next one. HH.
{Ed007's Note - I still can't see why Kipre was sent off, Kev.}

He was silly and the ref made an asss of it thinking he kicked brown.
{Ed007's Note - I can't see why Brown's getting the blame for it either right enough.}

It spoiled what was an end to end game until that point.
{Ed007's Note - Murderwell camped in for the second half and we just couldn't break them down, at times we spend too much time trying to walk the ball in for my liking when we should be bombarding balls into the opposition's box.}

There were chances for balls to be squared rogic and Sinclair but at the same time carson was good can see why rodgers wanted to sign him.
{Ed007's Note - Sinclair made the wrong choice there, Sammy. Maybe he was trying too hard to get a goal for himself to boost his confidence rather than see the bigger picture.}

Just seen the highlights Scott Brown had a wee dig at Kipre with his arm and Kipre had a wee retaliation a la Beckham, a sort of backheeler, wouldn't have amounted to much but one of the officials seen it,9 times out of ten, it wouldn't have raised an eyebrow,
{Ed007's Note - It's the raised eyebrows we need to keep an eye on.}

Was thinking that myself although I do think Rogic should've squared for dembele as well with correct decisions today dembele could have had a few tap ins.

I was thinking the initial challenge from kipre was a bad one, looked to go right over the ball, but i think his reputation git him the red more than anything else.

i said during the game it was handbags, a bit of big girls blousing by both players and the game shouldn't have even been stopped, its a mans game get on with it its a contact sport, it wasnt a full on boot.

A good referee would have given them a talking to, and told them to shake hands and just get on with the game, .

Red card for the kick out and the ref caught it, it's not the ferocity of the challenge, but the intent to lash out, (intent) .
Broony did not help things with his reaction, but if it was the other way round, then the other player would still be rolling about and broony off.
The ref dammed of he does and dammed if he does not, in all fairness yellow each. ( depends who you support ) .

If You feel Jozo deserved a red consistency on your behalf would mean Kiprie would have to go this week . Similarly if you thought Jozo was unlucky and shouldn't have got red then neither should Kiprie .

Down to the individual ref's interpretation. Personally i thought jozo put his arm up to block but not to inflict.
Again a yellow would have been my shout in both cases, and let the game commence.
Any Ref's out there, or on here, who's know the rules and can clarify.
