It’s pretty unforgivable given he’s the captain. Absolutely idiotic.
And yet lots of people were applauding him off as if he had done something really good. One or two near me were even giving a standing ovation. Ridiculous!

That's pretty much the law isn't it? Fans by the tunnel will always give a standing ovation to a player sent off even if they've committed GBH!

Was the same when Dublin got sent off v SHA all those years ago.

He’s owes us big time on Thursday night.
It was rash but he’s competitive and it’s surprising he hasn’t seen red with us before. He owes me nothing, he’s been fantastic for us.

Fantastic yes but now we have missing for four games including today. So all that good work could have been all been for nothing.

I think he owes us a performance vs ajax before his break off

Well he's not always on it when he plays so someone else will get a chance.
I'm desperately trying to look for positives.

Not sure what we do now. Iroegbunam is miles off being good enough, and Tielemans (the world’s oldest 26 year old) hasn’t got the legs to play centrally. Maybe Ramsey if he’s fit.

In Dublin's case he should get an OBE for nutting Robbie Savage , a standing ovation just wasnt enough

If the ref had given him a yellow I don’t think VAR would have upgraded it to a red.
That is how I saw it. It was a definite foul but and I expected a yellow card.

He had just a done a load of closing down without support from a very lost looking Diaby and the adrenaline was pumping way too much. It was a stupid challenge and the loss of him for three games is much more of a problem than the lost three points today. It also cost us the goal difference deficit. I love him but it was a ridiculous thing to do.

Tim needs to be given a chance. Yes he's raw in a few aspects but that's the whole point of young players, you develop them by giving them decent game time.

People been slagging off Howe and Ten Hag all season but both at least have given young players like Miley and Mainoo regular starts and in very big games aswell so time for us to do that now rather than going with starting formations the players really aren't that comfortable with.

He's on loan at Real Union, where he's played one match.

I reckon he's about as read to play against Man City, Wolves and West Ham as your average matchday mascot.

Tim got a start against a 'bang average' Ajax team midweek and was lost. To be fair to Emery, look through our bench and there aren't any hard luck stories with not being picked. Tielemans is starting because noone else is showing any bit of form.

McGinn will be a colossal loss.

Rush of blood thats most likely cost us 4th after the 3 game ban.

All players have moments like this from time to time, he's no exception. But he's got an enormous amount of credit in the bank and he can now have a rest for a few weeks and be like a man possessed when he's back in the team.

Being a man possessed is what caused today's infraction.
