 Blues 2 Swans 1 : Nearly men again but an encouraging performance against the odds 7th Nov 2026 17:52You just knew that when Marko Stamenić was sent off for a clumsy challenge on BAFTA award-winning Ethan Laird, today was going to become even harder than it already was. Despite that, the Swans could have been a few goals up before the incident. The bad luck, frustration and overall despondency may well have returned, but that was only part of the story.  1

We are really pushing it on our match reports, getting them out there early with decent images and exclusive pics. What is your view on the game and the service we currently provide ? Not at all looking for plaudits maybe some areas we can improve upon.

Excellent review but I disagree about the red card being soft. Stamenic lunged in and was not in control, justified red for me. |  | | |

The acid test would be whether VAR would have overturned it and the answer I believe would be no.
If it had gone to VAR if the on field decision was not a red I wonder if it would have been changed, I don’t know. |  |

I’ve seen it in slow motion, Laird made a right big deal of it. Compensates for his lack of skill by cheating as seen in the second half. | |

Stamanic does this at least once a game.
At the time I thought maybe a yellow, but if uncontrolled then it's a red. | | | |

Yep there was no excuse for that challenge, you go in with both feet off the floor and that's a red all day, reckless endangerment what went through Stamenic's head at that moment only he knows. [Post edited 7 Nov 19:06]

I call things as I see them right or wrong, football is all about opinions and interpretations. | | | |

I’d go along with this. Whether he fully caught Laird or not, it was reckless and potentially could have really damaged him. You can’t give the ref the option, especially away when you’ve been given a debatable penalty.
We looked the more likely team at that point. He’s cost us today. | | | |

Agreed. Quite simply, Stammy forced the ref to make a decision on red or yellow. That should be off the table before the kick-off. Don't give the referee a decision to make, as it might not go in your favour.
The same can be same about the penalty. If you're going to pull a shirt or two in the box, then you are inviting the ref to give a penalty. Sometimes those decisions will go against you, so don't give the referee the opportunity in the first place (Other than professional fouls) | | | |
