Me too. Blocked him off, free kick and a yellow.That is how I saw it. A free kick and yellow card 'for the team' as they say. If their bloke had been six inches taller it probably wouldn't have been any card at all.

The sending off was right in front of me in upper 4.Bolger looked at the guy as he started to run run down the line and then brought his arm/elbow back and crazily put it into Whaley’s face. For me it was always going to be a red, it was a mad thing to do, ironically I thought Bolger and Shackell were having a good game at the time.
Whaley absolutely milked it, but sadly can we say Andrade wouldn’t have done the same thing. For me the virtually no contact sport we watch, encourages simulation and mass exaggeration.
Heard tonight that Bossie's injury is now seriously long term and that we won't be seeing him any time soon.
Bolton bury + international weeksVery unbalanced league table at the moment. We are now the only team to have played 14 games and have played up to four more games than a couple of teams (well, until today anyway). So how did that happen/ how did the fixture people work that one out? Assume it’s a combination of factors, including Bury/Bolton fiasco. Either way makes us look a little better than we possibly are once the other teams catch up, assuming they do). We need a win to maintain our mid-table status. We’ll get one. UTI ?
No team is too good to go down unless they prove it with results on the pitch.We are too good to go down . Need some confidence to get the points to sneak in the play offs. No need to worry.
On last night's showing, we certainly aren't too good to go down and neither are Shrewsbury. We won't, but have to do a lot better than that virtual no-show.No team is too good to go down unless they prove it with results on the pitch.
The push you refer to goes on evry match. Walker was being manhandled and wrestled away from the ball all match last night. He even got thrown to the floor on one occasion and got nothing. The challenge for the red (that happened in front of me) was one 90% of defenders would have made and taken a yellow for it IMO.The speed of the camera is too fast to see what happened, so I will take your word for it.
I will add though that earlier in the game it was clear that Bolger gave a clear shove on the attacker that he nearly kicked in the head for the clearance on the edge of the six yard box. It wasn't a bump, or a tussle, it was simply a straight armed push and if that had been seen by the Ref, I suspect it may have been a penalty. If you are going to do these things, the law of chance says that eventually you will get caught for them, so I have little sympathy if Bostwick comes in and Bolger finds himself sitting out quite a few games.
