Title: K STROUD - Preston v Fulham
Post by: TheThingFromLewes on Tue 10 Dec 2019 20:25
Denis Odoi really makes my blood boil... disgusting challenge on Bauer and deserved to be binned.

However, how Stroud hasn't dismissed Pearson for a two footed lunge right on the side of Onomah shin high is ridiculous. That challenge certainly ticks the box for endangering a players safety.

Definite red for Rafferty.... however why did Stroud play on and then issue the red? I thought it was an immediate stop in play for a red card challenge.

Should be 10 v 9 at half time.

Surprised Stroud had to go and check with his assistant for the first red, should have shown it quicker to avoid all the confrontations.

How Pearson didn't get a red, shocking challenge, I know you shouldn't pre-judge a player, but his discipline record is awful, he's not a player that should be given the benefit of doubt to.

Shouldn't have played "advantage" for the 2nd red.

Pearson should have gone for a second yellow despite not being sent off initially. He clearly went down the back of Knockaerts calf in a raking motion which was missed.

It's understandable how he's had 48 yellows in his career....

A real mixed bag from Stroud tonight.... the headline being the non red to Pearson in the first half.

Another game affected by a poor decision.
