At the time i thought there was nothing 'foul' about (and it was right in front of me) but bloody how the ref thought that was only a throw in having seen the
vid.

Reading the comments on twitter I think our next international fight will be with the USA, do they not know we've already taken down China?
As for the tackle, frustrated actions of someone not getting a sniff and a bit cowardly imho. |  | | |

How the f*ck did he not even get a yellow for that!!! Tugging a player's shirt gets you a yellow these days. |  | | |

Agree, but thought Dike was very respectful towards Barbet once he'd realised his push had sent him into the advertising hoardings and cut his head.
We need to review safety around our pitch as with Bournemouth player falling into TV Pit, it's a very tight pitch with not much room for error. |  | | |

The Robin Van Persie Memorial Pit was open for business yesterday too. |  |

It looks terrible and it resulted in a very bad injury that could ave been a lot worse. But, Dikes does lead with his foot towards the ball and then leans in to Barbet as part of the momentum. Anywhere else on the pitch Barbet goes flying but to no ill effect. It is surprising that it wasn't seen as a fan but having watched it many times now there certainly doesn't appear to be any intent other than to fight for the ball. What happened next was awful but having seen so many out of control tackles where the player has a moment to hurt another, this isn't one of them, in my opinion. It worked in our favour ultimately because Barbet returned to a pitch where he had been unbeatable and came back as unplayable. I really hope we can convince Barbet to stay because his attitude is what this club is all about. |  |

I thought at the time and I am still of the opinion that this incident will be reviewed by the EFL (as with Charlie's stomp last season). The referee chose not to caution or send off Dike which, I believe opens up the situation for the EFL to take retrospective action against Dike if they deem it requires such. The choice by Dike at the time to definitely and purposefully push Barbet into the hoarding surely has to attract some attention.
Will that happen? No idea, but do not be surprised it it does. |  | | |

You'd miss at least three games in ice hockey for a challenge like that. | |

Sorry Bosh- have to disagree with you - think he knew exactly what he was doing. Not shoulder to shoulder in my opinion and the fact that the hoardings are so close to the pitch has to bring into consideration that the player should have taken into account the possible consequences of his action. In my opinion referee got this one wrong. |  |

Look at Dike's reaction after the challenge. He punches the air like he's achieved something. I think he knew what he was doing.
Edit: Perhaps he was just pumped and upset about a throw in decision. [Post edited 16 Jan 2022 21:45]

If that isn’t endangering an opponent, I don’t know what is. Particularly as the ref was strict on other challenges by forwards eg disallowing Gray’s goal and penalising Dykes for being too strong for Furlong in 2nd half. Typical inconsistency- and right under the 4th official’s nose in case it wasn’t obvious enough. Poor from Hooper . | | | |

Dike should have got a Yellow, if it was a defender doing it to an attacker on a breakaway it would have been a yellow. |  |

Can anyone explain why the referee stopped the match? He didn't give a foul, and the injured player was off the pitch. Why not just restart play? |  | | |

We wondered that too. Bad conscience for missing the original foul, perhaps.
Not the place for this perhaps, but Albion must be on their 30th “New Cyrille Regis” by now, and they might be onto something with Dike. He’s the kind of nightmare target-man I hoped Dykes would become, with added pace. Finishing not proven on yesterday’s evidence, all the more credit to our defence. [Post edited 16 Jan 2022 22:43]

Jeez! That's violent conduct and endangering an opponent for me. Not even the slightest intention to play the ball. |  |

Not if your a West Brom player apparently. Willocks was almost pulled off in the fitst half, no yellow.
Pull someones arm on halfway line, yellow. |  |

Head injury. Game gets stopped and medical assistance given. | | | |

In many ways, the op answers it's own question - "At the time I thought there was nothing foul about it (and it was right in front of me)......having seen the vid"
Tbf to the ref, he only had the one look at it as well. | | | |

Leans into Barbet! Sorry mate but are you sure youre watching the right bit of film. He purposely rams his shoulder into Barbet as though he is shoulder charging a door, knowing full well the dug out was there so close.
Dangerous play at least. | |

Yes, but the head injury occurred off the pitch, and the injured player was already off the pitch. | | | |

Given where he was and needing to be treated in place, would the medical staff have been encroaching on the pitch if it had continued? Only thing I can think of |  | | |
