Got carded for "excessive celebration" then another card for saying something else to the ref after Carter challenged him.

Gotta be one of the softest reds you've ever seen. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

This is the new rule, if you gesture for a booking, you get a booking.

What a joke of sending off.

Who made these rules up FFS

Maybe he’s watched the replay of the elbow on Trav in the first half and decided he needed to make right

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Nearly 2k travelling Rovers fans today.

The fuck is Szmodics doing kicking the ball away?

Players.

And club not signing a striker.

Tactics.

Get Szmodics off!

It's always been a yellow card for gesturing that a player should get booked - just few referees ever follow through with it. 

As their GK has just found out. You can't beg for a player to get a yellow card because he's hit a first time cross from an offside position.

Needs to come off

[Bethnal]

Ah, I see. This is not a football match anymore, it’s performance art, to protest the new rules/regulations. I suppose we just have to applaud.

[ItsRoverZ]

Szmodics is a fool! He's lucky to stay on, kicking the ball away now is meant to be a clear bookable offence 

[B16Rover]

This is chaos, he's on the verge of taking 'his' ball home and saying we're not allowed to play with him.

 

Feels like the type to have a rough time at school and then take 'revenge' in the police force.

You're right, Szmodics missing a penalty, having no strikers and our other forward players being awful doesn't come into it.

[chaddyrovers]

Come on Rovers. 

Ennis, Hedges and Brittain coming on

Leonard, Markanday and Travis off

How can we leave Szmodics on? 

[OsloRover]

Three subs on, how can Sammie remain on the pitch?

[Neal]

Been extremely poor so far. They've just watched us pass ourselves to death. As much as we have high hopes for Leanord we need to give him a chance by giving him something but he's not been in it today. Markanday non existent. Moved it way too slow. Needed to take off Markanday, push JRC up and put Brittain on. A lot our problems still present, number 1 being the lack of mental toughness. This lot will fold week after week if they keep conceding goals first.

who are you on about??

[Dreyski]

Szmodics and the ref in a contest to see who can have the worse game.

Madness. 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Can't believe Szmodic still on.  They are Mowbray subs.

[yankfan]

Did Dolan just duck under that cross instead of heading it on goal?

[Tugay-is-God]

Don't actually think it's a bad rule change, I've said for years they should do it. 

You'll have a few weeks of this sort thing, it'll cause loads of social media outrage especially when it happens to a player from a top club. Then players will get used to it, and start keeping their mouths shut a bit more.

Sammy goes, this is on JDT.
