I do not believe it 2 weeks in a row.
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
I'd argue with it. That was a clumsy attempt to get the ball, so never a red card under the new rules.That's a penalty and a red. Can't argue there. Rowles, you're a f**kwit too. How stupid can you be?

No it's not - red card was mandatory there. The commentators are right - the yellow card option doesn't apply to a push. The Laws specifically state that It's as clear a case of DOGSO as you'll get.Yellow and penalty. Red card is an overreach by a rookie referee and a shit call from VAR.
Unsurprisingly we get f**ked by it but Rowles shouldn't have put himself in that position.
The entire foul was the arm in the back. You can't call it anything other than a push. And the pushes are excluded from the new laws...so, ref really had no option whatsoever there.I don't see that as a push through. His arms weren't really up (compared to Taylor on Simon for example), he was trying to get into a position to make a tackle and made contact with Krishna, who took the chance to go down. It was clumsy, but it wasn't a professional foul. It seemed like exactly the kind of foul that doesn't deserve a penalty, red card, and suspension that the rules were introduced to fix.
Is there anything that defines a push though? Both real time and on the replay it looked like a clumsy attempt to play the ball, nothing worse than that.No it's not - red card was mandatory there. The commentators are right - the yellow card option doesn't apply to a push. The Laws specifically state that It's as clear a case of DOGSO as you'll get.

Let's say it wasn't a dive.I don't even agree with the characterisation of it being a push, he put his hand on his shoulder (not back) and Krishna went down like a sack of shit
