Dermot Gallagher on Jacob Ramsey red card
Newcastle will be delighted that the decision did not cost them dearly in the game. They had to play 45 minutes without a key player, and it could have easily cost them valuable points. The manager will be frustrated with the situation, and the player will also know that he made a mistake. It will be interesting to see if he can learn from this experience and bounce back strongly.
Ramsey has been an important player for Newcastle since joining the club, and he will look to establish himself as an asset for them. He was a very good player for Aston Villa as well.
There have been speculations about whether the officials’ decision was right.
Speaking on Sky Sports’ Ref Watch, Dermot Gallagher explained (h/t Chronicle): “I back the referee because of the angle.
“Does he have to do that? Is he caught? No. He goes down so far after the incident has happened, and I don’t think he needs to. I would also suggest that if he hadn’t have got a yellow card for that, people would be screaming and saying we don’t want diving. So Peter Bankes has taken positive action, so back him.”
Newcastle win despite Ramsey red card
Newcastle picked up a 2-1 win against Manchester United thanks to a late goal from William Osula. They have been quite poor in recent weeks, and the win over Manchester United will give them a huge confidence boost.
It will be interesting to see if they can build on it and finish the season strongly.
There was no intent to dive. The replay shows some contact which when players are travelling at speed and trying to avoid collisions, it is easy to lose your footing. Will Osula nearly lost his just before the goal so easily done. However, var should be involved in such decisions in the same way they review tackles which may result in a card. It will be another loop hole in the rules as to why they didn’t….
CORRUPTION!!!at its best
if he dived he would of appealed for a pen which he did not, he just lost his footing and gt up and was walking away. no way was it a card
That’s exactly what I said how many players drop to floor and look for a penalty and not carded I’ve seen a few getting away but it’s different for a black and white shirt
I’m sure the linesman would of had a good enough view, do the ref and linesman not communicate during the game surely the linesman would have had a perfect view
