Nottingham Forest - Stoke City

[optimistic_red]

I don't understand why it's a penalty. Samba had the ball, hes getting blocked, pushs him away (admittedly he shouldn't push his head).

Samba sending off...

Nah, just seen it. Straight red for me.

Yeah I understand the red card, but why also a penalty?

That's what I was wondering. Stoke bloke went down like a sack of shiiite too!

Yates Goal....

Totally brain dead. At time I thought red card. He has to now finally learn.

Johnson Goal.....

[Plymouth red]

Very silly but i don't think we should let it overshadow the overall performance - i think 3 games in 7 days certainly showed and perhaps a little fortuitous to get a draw regardless of Samba's shenanigans. That we still came back and drew however shows enormous character. 

Horvath now gets his chance so hopefully this time he takes it. And samba can have a bit of reflection time

Thats what we were asking too? I assume because the ball is still in play but a red AND a pen is harsh.

Anyhow justice was done in the end and can’t grumble about the result.

I appreciate Samba made some invaluable saves today, but his stupidity (again) undid all of his good work and nearly cost us dearly!

Would Stoke have scored a second if Samba hadn't been a Bell end?

Apparently, some Blackburn fans have reported him to the Police following an incident on Wednesday night, which has also been reported to the EFL and Forest.

If the Police report has any truth in it, along with the stupid things he does (Leicester's goal, todays episode etc) he is becoming far too much of a liability.

He is a bloody good keeper, but he is far to undisciplined and will continue costing us goals and points if his behaviour is not checked and acted upon

Spot on Tricks.

I was wondering having not seen the incident and read what people had put whether we could appeal the card but nope that’s more a back elbow then a push with the hand :/
