Moore Red Card

Have to disagree, definitely a red. Threw his head at him in a headbutt motion. Not sure on any contact but you can't threaten a headbutt either way. I'd be amazed if they even appeal, let alone get it overturned.

Stupid thing to do over a throw in, at 4 nil down and with only a few mins left from someone who is one of our more senior players.

I stand on the East, just behind the away bench. Moore did make a small movement towards the Wigan player, but hardly any contact. However, I accept the red card. The Wigan player though might reflect on his own actions. Why dispute a throwin when you are leading 4 nil in the dying moments? And he kicked the ball away. I would not want to see a Rovers' player behave similarly.

Agree with you completely - except for the word "threw". It was not that violent an action.

Unfortunately, regardless of the simulation by the Wigan player, this Red card will stand and be deemed 'violent conduct' so a mandatory three match suspension.

I did not see the incident as I was following the ball, and I suspect the referee did not see it either. However, it was close to the Wigan bench, the majority of which demonstrated their recriminations of the ignored offence from their own player. Clearly both opposition player and management team were seeking to have Taylor-Moore sent off. A decision probably given on the fourth official's say so.

At the time, fans around me were adamant that their player had a hand around Taylor-Moore's throat - so should have been Red card for both offences.

It did not change the result, just further compounded the misery of an awful day at the Mem. Taylor-Moore has been an excellent signing thus far, but this will now give Connor Taylor an opportunity of starting at Peterborough, something which his own cameo performance sadly did not reinforce.

Players should know by now that you cannot do any action which allows the pathetic standard of referees to make a decision. Stupid action by an experienced player who should know better and therefore deserves a three match suspension..

Slight movement of head towards the Wigan player. Guess that's enough to get you a red card now. The ref seems almost apologetic in sending him off.

Ridiculous thing to say.  

I guess you feel proud of yourself for yet another (unwarranted and unjustified) derogatory statement against one of our own players.  

That will continue to happen and continue to get worse whilst the authorities choose to ignore it - both the on field match officials and the FA who should take retrospective action in these type of situations. Regardless of what happened to Moore cheats and experts in “dark arts” as everyone likes to glamorise them as need stamping out - retrospective bans for diving and feigning injury will stop things quickly and send a message to grass roots and youth football that this type of behaviour is just wrong. At the moment the authorities and match officials are basically rewarding the S Housery. 

Maybe he needs a few Saturdays off... (I am joking...)
