Wigan

meanwhile in the real world they dropped to their lowest position since very early on and aren't even in the promotion places

  since Blackburn lost to Rovers (how ?) they have a better record than Wigan

and

March 4th we have Bank of Blackburn v Bank of Wigan

The red was a borderline one for me. What caused the controversy was the ref pulling out his yellow. He should have given himself a bit of thinking time.

Definitely.
And you can have all the VAR you like but those sort of decisions can be debated all day and all night and you are never going to get a consensus of opinion.
As per this forum. Can’t understand falling out over it. 
It’s just opinions. Right or Wrong. Usually there is no such thing.

I had to laugh at a comment on the BBC article about this talking about the split opinion, it said something like "70% of people in a vote on the site agreed it was a red, so it was obviously a 50-50". I know what they were getting at but it still made me chuckle.

I can see why the ref gave the red, he came in with some serious force with feet off the ground and studs showing, slightly different positioning and it could have been a broken leg.

red card all day long. if it happened the other way around, man city would be screaming from the rooftops for a red.

Where is the consistency though?
Last season Rojo did similar tackles within the space of two or three games and got two yellows. A straight red and three game ban. Two yellows in different games and no ban.

Pep complaining about what he has been complaining about!
