So when Luke Jacobson came back on,
matched
a lot of us were pretty confused as to what decision did they come up with here?
matched
Because in the moment when he handed out a yellow card, I think most of it would have marked down in our jotters that, okay, you know, Luke Jacobson got a yellow card, which was quickly upgraded to a red.
matched
It was...
matched
it was a tucked arm, it was a shoulder to the head, and even if you look at the replay, there's a little bit of an elbow coming out there just at the point that the contact is made.
matched
I know James Ryan is obviously there in front of it, but it wasn't like he was very, very slow to get out of the contact area.
matched
It was a tackle, and he actually was trying to move out of the way at the time as well.
matched
Um...
matched
Yeah, and one of the things that annoys me around some of these incidents, particularly when the decision is red card, that the argument you see some people putting against it as well,
matched
Well, what's he supposed to do?
matched
There's no other way to get that player out of the way.
matched
I think for a lot of people, there's this idea that you always have a divine right to be able to win the ball.
matched
Like sometimes the defensive player has got into a great position and has won that ball.
matched
And ultimately, if there's nothing legally you can do to get them off there, you've lost the ball.
matched
You've given away the penalty.
matched
You've conceded the turnover.
matched
just because it's very hard to move him out of the way, it doesn't really mean that, oh, well, you kind of have scope to catch a head here or tuck the arm here.
matched
You've lost the ball.
matched
You've lost the contest.
matched
Yeah, and at the time of speaking, it doesn't look like a sighting is coming as well.
