Stephen Robinson hitting out with "if we didn't get a man unfairly sent off we would have won that game" chat

A bit of a cheek given how his team plays. They could easily have lost a player before the clash with Casey. But although Robinson is a bit deluded I think he raises a valid point.  I don't really think it is the 20 minutes with 10 men that is his main gripe.

Let's be honest here. The second yellow card was a joke. So the sending of was an error. As was admitted by Collum and his team

Having been punished unfairly at the time and having to play with a man short it does seem unjust that the player wrongly dismissed now has to sit out another game. Funny but unjust. Surely in a case like that, the acknowledgement of the error should cancel the ban. Like it would if it had been a straight red. The system is broken. We would be equally upset if it was our player.

Another 15 of these and they'll be half way towards making up for Dunne staying on the park after his assault on Mika.

I loved Robbo when he was with us (for the most part), but he’s evolved into a one-dimensional thuggish moron. I wouldn’t worry about what pish he spouts these days. 

The Irish kettlewell.

Of course, had he been shown a yellow card for pushing Gordon into Balcombe, resulting in Gordon being replaced, (Not shown on BBC highlights), then he would not have been on the park to be sent off when he was. What goes around comes around.

Despite my snark, I do agree with the issues around yellow cards. I understand why they are in place, however, as without them, there would be 100 yellow card appeals every week from across the leagues.

I don't think there is any need for yellow cards to be reviewed in game by VAR. Otherwise games would last for four hours. So let's continue as is on that front. 

But where two yellows add up to a red, if retrospectively it is accepted that one of the yellows was a joke (as in the case Robinson is bumping his gums about), then it is an even bigger farce that the player involved then misses a further full game. In addition to whatever minutes he missed in the initial game. We would be saying much the same as Robinson if it was Miller, Slattery, Armstrong etc that had to sit out a match unfairly. Unless the rule is changed we will suffer at some stage as will other teams. It is simple enough to ensure similar situations do not occur.

Which is pretty amazing since he gets rid of so much using his mouth and yet, there you are, he’s still full of it.

He should have had two bookings long before his "soft" one he got sent off for. The referee allowed the physicality to go on too long unpunished. Robbo is delusional. 🥵

Olusanya is not sitting out a game unfairly, he got 2 yellow card so it was red and he walked. The ref made a call on the day for the 2nd booking, Var are not involved so in his opinion the red card was justified, and therefore a suspension for the next game so all legal and above board so far.

Referees, the KMI panel, TV pundits, journalists etc re refereeing the game and deciding it wasn't a 2nd booking is just bullshit, he was a dirty bastard on the day and should have been off long before he was, along with Gogic and Laccoviti, as for Robinson he's full of shit.
