Yes Pearson, this is aimed at you.

I really admire the way you play, but what on earth is the point of earning yourself a yellow for having a go at the Ref? We need you a lot for this next half of the season, yet you're looking at a two-game ban. Do you honestly think that you having a go at the Ref is going to make him change his decision? Knock it off. Just shake your head, walk away, and carry on playing good games.

There really is no excuse for our players earning yellow cards for dissent at this point in the season. I understand the point about showing a bit of passion, but to do that in the Refs' face is just plain stupid. Save it for the players that we're playing against, not the officials.

He didn't get booked for having a go at the referee but was for the foul.... at least that's what I thought.

Heard an ex player speaking on the radio, he said when was the last time you saw a referee change his mind, so no point at all in arguing.

Will someone tell Pearson, or is this why we are after Ledson?

I wasn't there, but read that his yellow was for dissent. If I'm wrong, feel free to delete my post.
 
It's easy for us sitting here
He's under the cosh against some real bastards he's grafting like fuck probably playing injured. I agree far too many yellows, far too many, but today I'm not going to criticise he battled like a soldier!
 
He gave away a very silly foul and the referee didn't hesitate to book him so assumed it was for the foul.

Maybe it wasn't... would like to add that Neil was ready to take Pearson off after he took a knock early on, he battled on and gave his all.

That said the referee gave some odd decisions today including a farcical booking to Hugill, who got booked for having the ball kicked into his back by the goalkeeper.

The referee being, Jeremy Simpson, from up here, in chronic Carnforth.
 
Pearson always gets slated for his bookings but Hugill has also picked up 8 yellows, 3 of which have been very foolish indeed, including the needless one today.

His booking today was never a booking in a million years.

He was outside the penalty area walking away from the keeper like all strikers do. There goalkeeper than ran and booted the ball in his back, he wasn't looking and made no effort to play the ball.

That said I agree with your general point, people seem to have it in for Pearson with regards to bookings.

Maybe we are giving BP a disservice, maybe he know he had picked up an injury to his knee that would put him out for 2 or 3 weeks so why not get the 10th yellow and clock off the 2 game suspension whilst out injured? Just a sugestion :thumbsup:

Pearson's booking looked to be for dissent to me.

Hugill's booking was a joke. The keeper simply kicked the ball at him, he didn't even try to interfere, just stood there and got booked for it.

Referees wave yellow cards around like confetti as if they’re totally insignificant. Trouble is they come back to bite you on the arse, either with a second yellow or suspensions for accumulation of bookings. Some of the things players get yellows for are just ridiculous.

Just listened to Neil who reckons it was for dissent but a “undeserved” one, stated he was as frustrated with the referee as Ben was.


Pearson said reputation certainly gets him booking maybe other players wouldn’t normally get, at one point person was fouled... the referee oh his whistle to his mouth then realised who it was and ignored it and Millwall won the ball back.

picking up bookings because of any reputation you might have is easily solved, JK. Cut out the fouls, or the dissent, and you cut out the bookings and you lose the reputation. Easy.
Continue to do it, and you can expect the bookings.

Booking for dissent can and should be cut out, however cutting out the fouls would mean you can’t tackle.

Hopefully when we sign Pearsons apprentice Ledson....we can all relax a bit more. The prospect of losing Peasron to suspension at the moment is almost as bad as having to read stanneswhites posts.
 
Yes, Pearson get a few too many bookings but it's easy for us fans to sit in the stands and say stop arguing with the ref, but every time the fans think the ref is making a bad decision the majority of us swear, shout, get annoyed etc and that's without the pressure of being in a football match. Pearson probably knows he needs to cut out the dissent, but unfortunately if he feels a decision is wrong he's going to be frustrated. People who say the ref's decision is final so don't argue - yes it is, but any football match I watch in any league on any day - players argue with ref's because in that high pressure situation if you think a wrong decision has gone against you you are going to be pissed off. I'm not sticking up for Pearson but I don't blame him for reacting the way he does because the majority of players and majority of us fans would react in that way too.
