Smyth’s elbow 08:11 - Oct 19 with 4074 viewsdannyblue

Off the ball again. After he didn’t get a foul.

Retrospective ban again?

Ref didn’t see it. Stopped the game for a throw in. But game restarted with a free kick?

Odd.

Yeah, should of been a straight red. Deliberately went in with his elbow onto the players head.

Right below us in SAR but at the time didn’t look as if he made contact though the intent may have been there.

Plus he’s so small I’m not sure he could have got his elbow up that high without a trampoline.

He might’ve left a bit on the fella after being kicked about all lunchtime but I’m not calling that a deliberate elbow

Love Smythy’s attitude and great that he’s a chippy little fckr at times

I’d be more concerned on Mbengue’s stamp to be honest
He’s kin mental that fella

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

Silly thing to do, the guy milked it massively though. The restart was odd, he stopped play for a head injury, and Millwall decided they would restart with a free kick - which he definitely hadn't given initially.

On the stream you could see that the ref didn't give a free, but then gave it after one of the Marxist Hunters complained.

Isn’t that a good thing then?

I don’t remember but if the game restarted with a freekick for this incident then it means the ref saw it. If he saw it he didn’t deem it violent…..
Nice

The way the 'wall bloke went down, I thought they'd have to put him down.

Imagine my relief not to see the sawn-off coming out of the 'wall dugout. Just glad he and their keeper, who also looked like it was going to be a mercy to put him out of his misery, both recovered and will now get to spend Christmas with their families.

Honestly, we're such brutes!

I love Smyth, but really stupid.

Of all the times to lose the chance to play… pick your moments Smyth. Just as Poku and Chair are available. Not sure he’ll get back in very easily now.

Petulant.

Yes I thought their keeper might have had to have one or both legs amputated as he looked in such tremendous pain after we scored our goal. Thank goodness for the supernatural powers of the magic sponge.

Yep, that pretty much summed the ref up.

I didn't need to see a stream to know that he hadn't given a free kick at the time. Watching it at the ground told us that!

I don't know, but suspect that he might have changed his mind after seeing marks on the Millwall players face. Being present or watching a stream wouldn't tell you if that was the case, but he can change his decision until the game has been restarted.

I missed it Norf, not like me!!!! I just saw defending dying on the ground and get up a few seconds later as 'right as rain'!!! And the ref giving Millwall a belated free kick.

Any video's??

I noticed the two medics who ran onto the pitch didn't even attempt to massage the keeper's leg to alleviate any cramp. They just knelt down beside the incapacitated keeper and healed him through the medium of prayer. Hallelujah.

Only saw it once out the corner of my eye but I think it was more Smyth barging into the defender with a shoulder to the ear, as they both were getting up. FWIW I thought it was an initial foul on Smyth.

As the ref belatedly did give a free to Millwall then surely the matter was settled on the pitch, so no retrospective action? (But who knows, the rules don’t seem to be applied consistently.)

I don’t think it was a full elbow swing so not violent conduct? A yellow if the ref had actually seen it?

I didn't even see the alleged elbow in the slo-mo replay. All I saw was Smyth brush into the player as he walked by him and the player doing the usual screaming and rolling about to suggest he'd been stabbed.

That said, it is incredibly dumb, stupid and petulant of Smyth to make deliberate and avoidable contact with a player.

Literally every game now I see EFL refs giving decisions based on screams and reactions or after a player falls over when it's obvious the ref could not see the incident due to their position. Their default position seems to be if in doubt, blow the whistle. Ironically it's usually one of those short half-hearted "toots" on the whistle too.

Anyway, with that sort of refereeing you simply can't be doing anything brainless and unnecessary.

The two physios looked like two film extras going through the motions. Pretending to look concerned and making small talk . Pathetic beyond belief.
Still we do it as well so no point in being hypocritical about it .
If it’s not a head injury. The ref should tell their captain to get an outfield player to take the goal keep and the keeper stays in the ground.
Pretty certain the keeper would soon get up .
Health and safety probably doesn’t allow that though .

When the keeper has 'recovered' the opposition should select one of the keeper's team mates to leave the pitch for the regulation time. I think that the time should be increased from 30 seconds to 1 minute in the second half.

Why has this not been done before.
This is up there with the Refs white line spray as a game changer.
Cracking idea.
Presumably you'd have to nominate a number of players before kickoff to serve the time out, as otherwise they'd waste even more time discussing it.

They did actually spray the back of his leg a bit, but didn't bother taking his sock down first, so not sure it would have been that effective
