Could be an interesting season if northern follows through with point deductions for referee abuse.

Well, the competitions angriest goalkeeper has already copped a red card for dissent in one of the trial games but apparently there were no consequences. So I'm going to say....probably not.

I only saw it on BarTV and agree its pretty bad, turning his back in the challenge therefore losing control (reckless Y1) but makes it into a red by leading with his studs.
Credit to the ref for seeing it correctly though. Easy to see on BarTV when you can watch it a few times but easy to miss when the game is at speed.

Have to agree, red card any day of the week. Gone over the ball, studs into the shin.

Pretty poor form from the New Lambton supporter in the stands who clearly called Nigel Boogaard a homophopic name twice in the minutes after the red card. Does NNSWs referee abuse crackdown also mean they are going to crackdown on dickh#ds line him? The fact that fellow supporters all laughed at his comment means it wouldn't be hard to track him down.

What I saw was 2 players converging on the ball at the same time. One tries to pull out at last second to minimise contact, very little contact occurs. Other went down way too easily. Suggestions by some as studs up must have been difficult for him from a upright position and virtually stationary at point of contact. Certainly Azzuri player quickly recovered from life threatening injury.
And none of the Azzuri players seemed concerned about the incident or injury, as is the norm when a player is so violently assaulted. Unless of course he wasn't very popular amongst his team mates.
