Roberts sending off - Page 7 - RedPassion.co.uk

Could be a blessing in disguise.
Raven will slot in at Right back with Carra on the bench.
Be nice to see a footballer who can actually control and pass a ball rather than a hit and hope merchant.

All 3 have their limitations at RB.
Carra as a midfielder likes to let the ball drop so that he can control and pass but there are times when it just needs to be headed clear and out of danger and he needs to add that to his game.
Whereas Raven will attack the ball but doesn't offer much of an overlap going forward.
I think Roberts seems to have gained in a bit of confidence but it still average in the air and prone to indecision in attacking the ball and lets it run past his or to the byline.

I think in the last 5 games that Ravens experience could be vital but a lot depends on the midfield then in front of him.

Andy Davies was at The Rhos Reds meeting last night. We aren't appealing. He said the rules state that any video evidence has to prove that the ref made the wrong decision. Apparently the camera angles of the incident don't prove that.

Yes, to be fair Roberts is probably the easiest player to replace when banned.

Couldnt be at the racecourse for Boreham so watched Sutton v Bromley on BT. The ref(Hair?) disallowed a perfectly good Bromley goal, for offside when the player was a good two yards onside and the lino didn't flag. He gave a penalty for a blatant foul by the goalie who was the lastman by twenty yards,but didn't send the Sutton goalie off,( they didn't have a goalie on the bench) and throughout favoured Sutton in a lot of dubious decisions. Its the first time I've heard the commentators criticise the ref to the extent that they wanted to interview him after the game but said that they weren't allowed to. Referees are killing this league, and soemthing has to be done about it!

Was the question asked at all if he was sent off for racist comments? Only one poster seems to think, via a 'confidential source' that this is the case.

Are we all so saintly that we would not have become indisciplined on Saturday. I think our lads knew they were getting nowt off the ref. Doesn't excuse the poor start we made, however.

In work where I get paid then at times I have to be a bit more saintly than thou and cannot say to clients what I really think.

So yes when the players are on the pitch I expect a certain level of professionalism.

No mention of racist comments whatsoever. Grabbed his nuts is the verdict!
