Keates sent off again

[TWREX]

Going back to the title question, do we think opposition Managers will now see Keates as an easy target to wind up so that he gets sent off.We all know this can affect the team ,most Managers would do this to gain any sort of advantage I'm sure , What do you think??

It’s a weakness he needs to correct. More time in the Directors’ Box will give him a better view and allow him time to reflect.

He’s been a silly-billy, but no need to crucify him. However, if it happens again...

You can see what I mean though he's wet behind the ears compared to some.

I agree, DK needs to learn to not let his emotions get the better of him and allow the 4th official to manage any provacation. DK managed it as a player and as far as I'm aware didn't have a poor disciplinary record, but having run a local team for years, I know it's 10 times more frustrating than being on the pitch even with 1 man and his dog watching. He's passionate, determined and above all shows he cares so we have to give him our support.

I always support him and would say he's the best man for the job but I'm just pointing out what other managers are aware of.

Has anyone considered that over the season we may have benefited from marginal decisions going our way as a result of "game management" from the likes of Keates and Pearson? It is well known in the game that referees can be influenced in this way

It’s professional frustrating and clever when other teams do it. If we dare do it some are ever so quick to pillory the person involved.
