Its been a strange day of football with some perhaps odd refereeing decisions, ive named a few of todays premiership incidents and would like to see how you the armchair referee would have called them.
1. Leicesters Matt Elliot elbowing Birminghams David Dunn... deliberate or not? deliberate must surely mean a red card... i think it was deliberate myself.
2. Leicesters Ian Walker handling the ball 10 yards outside his goal area... yellow card or red card? im not 100% sure on the rules of this one but i thought a red card was a little harsh... Birmingham were not about to score.
3. Danny Mills stamping on Di Canios head... deliberate or not? again i think this was totally intentional... he should have been sent off, he got very lucky that no-one saw him (hmm)
4. Wayne Rooney pushing over a Pompey player (unsure who it was sorry) Rooney did walk off the pitch expecting the red card but Uriah Renny only showed the yellow card... right or wrong decision? despite being a big fan of Rooney i think the card should unquestionably have been red.
Just a fun, slightly different thread... will be good to read other opinions on the above incidents :)

I can’t comment on all these, the only one I have seen is the Rooney incident.
He should have gone. He over reacted and pushed over a player right in front of the ref. Now, I thought that any act of violence towards another player was a red card offence. He did not unintentionally push him, how could he?
All I can say is that I hope he learnt a lot from today, as his manager said.

I fully agree with you on this.
He pushed the player over right infront of Uriah Rennie with sufficient force to send the player tumbling backwards onto his bum (he floored him!!)... Rooney then walked straight off the pitch knowing his actions were unacceptable yet the ref only produced a yellow card... very strange decision... i just hope Rooney learns from this incident but im not overly confident he will... International players in the European championships and future World cups will all be aware of Rooneys potential hot headedness and will undoubtably play him on that in a tactical war of attitudes... Rooney really needs to sort this aspect of his game out if he is to realise his true potential and not be a soft touch for rash actions and red cards.

The Ian Walker one just made me laugh out loud. Just dont know what must have been going through his mind! Did he just forget he wasnt in his area or what?!
Rooney should have been off, but i remember Robbie Keane getting away with just a booking at Old trafford for doing the same thing to Beckham.
John Terry is still the man though! What an OG!

You've got it in one mate; he's playing right into their hands.

The Walker incident was amusing, and i feel the red card was just. As far as i am aware, any keeper who handles outside the area should be sent off in the rules, yet i have already experienced times this season where the keeper has got away with a yellow.
Walker though handled 10 yards out of the area, clear sending off if you ask me.

I was at the Leicester game, and Walker's incidant was a heat of the moment thing he could of got away with a yellow as he wasn't stopping a goal. But I agreed with the ref and the red was right.
Walker should have been sent off for handling 10 yards outside the box just for the sheer stupidity of doing it in the first place, forget the fact of it stopping a goal opportunity or not.
When pressured he doesn't think I remember him picking up a back-pass against Wolves last season.
stupid or not hes better than david james by far
