Ryan Babel - has he turned the corner?

Wow, I came on here thinking the majority would support Babel....
He didn't deserve a red card. It's not like he slapped him and btw did u guys notice that Luisao was holding and twisting his hand.
 
Mok - no chance ... he was the only one who tried to stand up for Torres. As Bunny siad in the match thread, it's not his fault he's a pussy. I just hope Rafa puts him in the next league fixture - It will at least let him feel he's got Rafa behind him. Well, and he's far better there than Yossi.

True.

The players and Rafa will back up Babel. He's suspended in the return leg so I don't see the point in dropping him against Birmingham.
 
Why are people saying he didn't deserve a red card?
He raised his hand to an opponents face not once but fucking twice.
He let everyone down.

Mind you we were lucky he was one of three people who could have been sent off and not make a lot of difference

That's why I said not make a lot of difference as opposed to no difference Spidey 😉

I'm sorry- but the term PROVOCATION used to be used. Was there PROVOCATION? Yer man was coming at him through the fucking ref!!

Babel did not deserve sending off at all.
 
Torres does that! You think 'prat' then you forgive him coz 9 times out of 10 he's winning you games.
Babel does it you think 'twat' because he does fuck all else to help the team and is only now playing because Yossi has been injured, Riera has exploded and Aurelio is made out of muscle injuries.
Fuck Ryan Babel. Once again.

In terms of aggression and logic, no he didn't. In terms of knowing you can not raise your hand to an opponent, particularly right in front of the ref, twice, yes.

So you don't deny having huge feet then?
 
It was a red card Doc. You can't do that, particularly right in front of the ref.
Babel was stupid but I would like Rafa to show good man management and get behind Babel. Try and get some performances from him, he's been doing ok of late. Then if we get another offer of 10mil+, sell the fucker.

It was a red, and I think the fact he did it twice made it easy for the ref, but the law is shite. By that reckoning Torres should have walked for his playful slap to John Terry's face.
 
Yeah, I'm pretty sure we all agree the law is stupid. Especially considering their captain only got booked for kicking lumps out of Nando.

that referee was cunt all night. babel nearly gets his head taken off, no free kick. lucio gets right through the back of torres, yellow. hand in the face, straight red. the cunt (ref)!

He was a cunt Neil, I agree, and the law is poor, but Babel was stupid too, at least in doing it twice. Nice sentiment and all, I know we all want to see him showing more character and fight, but that was once again a bit brainless, even if his heart was obviously in the right place.
 
It's like taking shirts off in celebration, or running to the crowd, or kicking the ball away as a reaction, and getting booked for them, it's daft in most vases , but everyone knows the rules.

The problem with the raising the hand bit is ......when is it a playful slap and at what point does it become a punch ?
So to get over all the debate players do not put their hands near opposition players faces....simples

The ref was poor....oh Neil, you forgot about Carra trying to take the chaps shoulder out of his socket in the area, he missed stuff on both sides

regards
 
To be fair its hard to argue with any of the three decisions both pens were correct and the sending off is just stupidity from Babel, do not raise your hand to another players face!!! The ref did his job protecting Torres, yellowing Lusiao and Luiz(?).

its true, there was no bias with his incompetence as agger could and probably should have walked for his CONSTANT moaning.
 
Aliadeire (sp?) got sent off a cheeky slap on Mash last year, maybe the season before. I don't remember these boards lighting up too much about it. He raised his hand and was sent off, rules are rules.
 
As Peatcheo says , he did get most of the big ones right.
Although I think the guy could have gone for hacking Torres.
There was some inconsistancy too, the foul that Insua got carded for was very mild, compared to a second bookable offence by the Curly haired guy (was that Luiz?) late on on the far side of their box went unpunished

That's because the ref misread a number of fantastic tackles by Agger as fouls.
