Red Cards & HIA
-
I watch a lot of rugby league.
They have similar issues, but the officiating operates in a different manner.Nelson Asofa-Solomona just about made himself unemployable for a series of similar tackles to the one on the weekend.
I dont think he was actually sent off this year, but sin binned and reported several times.Referee just penalised and/or binned him for each incident, reporting him to the review panel each time.
Each game as a spectacle was not overly affected.
The incident went under the microscope at the review, and suspension followed.
That is a more practical way of officiating.The individual player was unable to adjust his technique, and put himself out on the street.
And there is no interweb thread discussing the inconsistent officiating of red cards.

@antipodean after you telling me in the Fra v SA threadre illegal action doesn't get mitigation, this popped up on social, I genuinely didnt realise that*...still hate cards though


*that makes sense, but I do struggle with most of these contacts being accidental so ruling them as foul or illegal doesn't seem right, filth is different
-
its a very clear flow chart and one i try to mentally follow - it actually confused me with regard to the Ireland red card last week though.
- Given that it was foul play, Beirne was at fault, there can be no mitigation because he was always high and therefore never legal.
- Therefore red card must surely have been rescinded based on it being not high danger because the impact wasn't too hard - possibly because Beirne was a bit passive in contact (which is usually considered a mitigating factor, which shouldn't be applied!).

But it's the vibe. It's Mabo. Yeah, It's the vibe.
Or more correctly:
It's media darlings and whinging in the press. -

Should've
attempted a tackleworn a green jersey. -
Seems a bit rough but acceptable if it leads refs to start policing tacklers who lead with one shoulder and wrap with the other arm and also stamping down on other similar illegal techniques like grass cutters. But as it didn’t, even in the same game after Lood’s red, I won’t hold my breath.

That is ridiculous. WTF
Good grief. We agree. Far too short.

Oh nice it seems you guys are finally starting to understand why us AB fans are so disillusioned with how incredibly inconsistently this stuff is being applied. Will you accept that Cane and Kolisi should have been both red or both yellow? Or not quite there yet.

Maybe. I’m more inclined to think there is a north south bias with world rugby.
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you. -
