barry'sboots Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Surely Herd should be found innocent if there is a lack of evidence rather than guilty? There's a lack of evidence to support the claim that I started WWII, but that doesnt make me guilty. Judging by Saturday's efforts, I think Dowd could get you there! :winkold: Ridiculous that they can get away with a decision like that without having to make any public comment to explain themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 agree, its part of why the respect campaign has failed miserably, they have to be made accountable, how hard can it be to do a 5 minute interview later in the week explaining his decisions? doesnt have to be an apology just an explanation instead we get gallagher, poll or at worst winter coming out with utter bollocks, personally listening to gallagher on SSN most weeks justifying a terrible decision only further convinces me they watch a different game to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think any club who has a player sent off incorrectly should be awarded a point if it's overturned. Only absolutely clear cut cases such as this one will be overturned anyway. The cost of losing a player during a match for a club is such that being the victim of such a miscarriage of justice should carry some kind of compensation. It seriously could mean the difference between relegation or survival and while hopefully not but if we went down due to less than 2 points I'd love to see what a court case would make of it.

Stevo985 Posted October 24, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not really Dowd's fault anyway is it? Don't get me wrong, Dowd's an idiot. But if his linesman tells him he's 100% sure that Herd kicked Olsson when he was on the ground, Dowd doesn't really have any choice but to send him off. agree, but as someone else said in the dowd thread he should have taken his time to establish what really happened rather than sending him off straight away without consulting anyone but a brief radio chat Who else is he going to ask? He's not allowed to ask the 4th official, so...the other linesman?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If Herd and Clark played every week we wouldn't concede so many "set piece" goals, and we would score more from corners and free kicks. We would probably draw less matches, although we would also give away the odd penalty or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I would love to see what Delph could do with a DCM - Herd - alongside him and an ACM - Ireland - in front. This looks like a better balanced midfield to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I would love to see what Delph could do with a DCM - Herd - alongside him and an ACM - Ireland - in front. This looks like a better balanced midfield to me. It would probably be one of the weakest midfields in the entire Premiership. Absolutely no experience. Energy alone wins you games in the Conference perhaps, not the Premier League and thank god for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
